This product is a power supply converter from the brand Chauvin Arnoux, specifically developed as accessory for SCOPIX oscilloscopes. It enables mobile power supply and allows charging the oscilloscopes' batteries directly via the cigarette lighter socket in the vehicle. This is particularly suitable for technicians and specialists in field service who require reliable and flexible power supply outside workshops or laboratories.

Applications

The converter is ideal for mobile measurement technology in vehicle operation. It is used to charge SCOPIX oscilloscopes during extended operations or when mains power supply is unavailable. The application primarily takes place in vehicles equipped with a cigarette lighter socket providing voltage between 10 VDC and 60 VDC, such as passenger cars, trucks, or special vehicles. Mobile use increases operational flexibility and reduces dependence on fixed power sources.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The converter converts the input voltage of 10 VDC to 60 VDC into a stable output voltage of 120 VDC to 150 VDC ± 5 V. This voltage is specifically designed for charging SCOPIX oscilloscopes. The maximum output power is 32 W, sufficient to charge the oscilloscope efficiently and safely. The output voltage is provided via a 2P+T socket, which connects directly to the oscilloscope. The design is compact and intended for use in vehicles.

Technology Explained Simply

The converter operates as a voltage converter, transforming the low voltage of the vehicle's electrical system (10–60 VDC) into a higher voltage required by the oscilloscope (120–150 VDC). The tolerance of ±5 V ensures stable and safe charging, which does not affect the battery's lifespan. The maximum power of 32 W ensures sufficient charging performance without excessively loading the vehicle battery. The input voltage range of 10 to 60 VDC allows use in various vehicle types, even with fluctuating on-board voltages, for example during starting or under load.

Compatibility and Accessories

The device is designed exclusively for SCOPIX oscilloscopes. It is not a universal charger, but specifically tailored to the charging requirements of these devices. Connection is made via the 2P+T socket, which must be present on the oscilloscope.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is done by simply plugging the converter into the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. The 2P+T socket connects directly to the oscilloscope. No additional tools or mounting work are required. The device can be used immediately after connection, as long as the vehicle battery supplies power.

Advantages in Operation

The mobile charging capability increases the availability of oscilloscopes in the field. The compact design and simple operation make it a practical tool for mobile use. The stable output voltage protects the oscilloscope from voltage fluctuations and ensures safe charging.
