Fluke T5-600 Electrical Voltage, Continuity, and Current Tester, Measures AC Current Up to 100 A Non-Contact, Automatically Selects AC/DC for Testing, Includes Detachable SlimReach Probe Tips

Product Overview

The Fluke T5-600 is a multi‑function tester designed to measure electrical voltage, continuity, and current. It includes a non‑contact AC current detection capability that reaches up to 100 amperes. The device automatically selects between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) when testing, allowing the user to focus on the measurement rather than on configuration settings. A pair of detachable SlimReach probe tips are supplied for extended reach or for use in tight spaces.

Key Features

• Voltage Measurement: The tester reads electrical voltage levels in standard circuits.
• Continuity Testing: It can confirm the integrity of a circuit by detecting continuity between two points.
• Current Measurement: Non‑contact AC current detection is available for currents up to 100 amperes.
• Automatic AC/DC Selection: When a test is initiated, the device determines whether the circuit is AC or DC and configures itself accordingly.
• Detachable SlimReach Probe Tips: These replaceable tips extend the tester’s reach and accommodate narrow or confined locations.

Applications

The Fluke T5-600 is suited to a range of electrical tasks that require quick verification of voltage, continuity, or current. When a professional needs to confirm that a circuit is live or dead, the continuity feature can provide a straightforward indication. For situations where the presence of current must be confirmed without direct contact—such as in high‑current lines—the non‑contact AC current sensor can detect currents up to 100 amperes. The automatic AC/DC selection simplifies the testing process by eliminating the need to manually choose the measurement type. The SlimReach probe tips extend the reach of the tester, allowing the user to access points that would otherwise be difficult to reach.

How to Use

To begin a test, first determine the measurement you need: voltage, continuity, or current. For voltage or continuity, approach the point of interest with the probe tip attached. If measuring current, enable the AC current mode and position the probe near the conductor or wire bundle you wish to evaluate. The tester will display a reading or a visual indication as appropriate. If the circuit is AC or DC, the device will automatically adjust its internal settings to provide the correct measurement. When you no longer need the extended reach, detach the SlimReach probe tips and store them in the supplied case.

Maintenance and Care

Keep the tester clean by wiping it with a dry cloth after each use. When the probe tips are detached, inspect them for visible damage before reattachment. Store the device in a dry environment to prevent moisture buildup. Avoid exposing the tester to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods. If the tester is not in use, keep the battery compartment cover closed to prevent accidental discharge. The device is built to withstand regular use in typical electrical environments; no specialized maintenance beyond routine cleaning and inspection is required.
