Until 31 December 2016, Fluke is offering cash back for any brand of multifunction tester traded-in when purchasing a latest model of Fluke 1660 Series Multifunction Installation Tester, or kit/bundle, including one of these testers, from an authorised Fluke distributor. The cash rebate is dependent on the model of 1660 Series purchased, and can be claimed by the purchaser by registering on the promotional website and following all the instructions fully explained on-screen. The cashback claim can be made after purchase of the Fluke 1660 series, successful completion of the required information and on return of the old tester. Full terms and conditions are detailed on the website.
The latest Fluke 1660 Series Multifunction Installation Testers, which include the 1662, 1663 and 1664 FC, are the only installation testers that help prevent damage to connected appliances. The 1660 Series puts more power in users’ hands by quickly and efficiently testing fixed installations to BS7671 17th Edition Wiring Regulations, protecting appliances that may be inadvertently connected to the system under test, and making it easy to share test results over a smartphone using Fluke Connect.
The Fluke 1664 FC features the patent pending Insulation PreTest function that detects if an appliance is connected to the system under test and will stop the test while also providing a visual warning. Insulation PreTest helps avoid accidental and costly damage to peripheral equipment. Also new to the 1664 FC is an Auto Test function that does five required installation tests in one sequence, ensuring compliance with BS7671 17th Edition Wiring Regulations. This reduces the number of manual connections, decreases the possibility of making errors, and reduces test time by up to 40 per cent compared to previous Fluke models.
The wireless 1664 FC model is part of Fluke Connect, a system of software and wireless test tools. Measurements from the tester can be wirelessly transmitted to the Fluke Connect app on smartphones or tablets and automatically uploaded to FlukeCloud Storage, eliminating transcription errors. Technicians can collaborate in real time with other colleagues with ShareLive video calls, increasing productivity in the field. Measurements from the 1664 FC can be combined with measurement data from multiple Fluke Connect test tools to create and share comprehensive reports from the job site via email.
The new Fluke 1660 Series is designed to verify insulation resistance, loop impedance, resistance of the earth connect, resistance to earth, RCD performance in TT and TN systems, phase sequence, and loop/line impedance and RCD tests in IT systems.

I'd like to know where these are operating in the UK. The report is notably light on this. I wonder why?
