Its always the leads that cause this error.

Had same trouble with mine at first, if you slip when doing loop readigs and take a probe off not getting a good connection this problem will arise .

Have you got a manual? There's an electronic copy here

Error 5 = exessive noise. Maybe you need to test more quietly

It`s caused by interference when doing the test.

Sometimes, the neutral lead slips a little, mid test. If you press "up" when the err5 is shown, it`ll give you the reading anyway.

Ensuring good contact is generally the key here.

Thanks fellas, I tested with the plug in lead that comes with a moulded plug on the end, and also tested with the kewtech plug in with the red/blue/green leads plugged in but still the same, I will try the leads again and see whats occuring.

regards NWDS

What reading do you get when you zero the lead, mate?

evening KME, I have just put the leads into the back of me tester & hey presto all is well, I still cannt work it out I thought of the leads and thats why I changed em and used the kewtech plug and additional leads but still got nowt.

regards and a big thank you to the best forum and fellas about.

This error you are getting is caused by noise flowing in the cables, One way around it is to do a PFC test as long as an RCD isn't fitted, but instead of connecting the Neutral lead to the Neutral, connect it to the CPC. You must be aware that if you do not have a good Earth return path you could create a potential on the CPC, and it also does the test at 15 Amps. By pressing the rocker buttons when you get the error code will give you a reading but it is not very accurate, but as long as the reading is low you should be OK. All the Neutral lead does while doing a Z reading is monitor the Volts flowing down the CPC and when it rises above 50 Volt it terminates the test, this is the only fault I have with the Fluke meter because it does Evey Z test as though there is an RCD fitted and takes a while to do the test, this maximum Voltage can be set at either 50 or 25 Volts. Hope this helps CJS

NO it doesnt, thats a stoopid statement to come out with, it leaks current across N & E so as not to trip the RCD.

another stoopid statement, try pressing your F1 button and changing to a 2wire test.

sorry if this sounds bad,

but wrong/stoopid/misinformed advice is worse than NO advice/or comment at all.

Calm down - this is a friendly forum. Debate is healthy, name calling isn't.
