The accessory from Chauvin Arnoux, model P01102092A, is a probe No. 3 with remote control function, specifically designed for insulation measurements. It serves as a supplementary component for insulation testers of the C.A 6522, C.A 6524, C.A 6526, C.A 653x series, as well as for installation testers C.A 6113, C.A 6116N, and C.A 6117. The probe enables simplified and accelerated performance of insulation tests, particularly in areas that are difficult to access or poorly lit.

Applications

The probe is used in electrical installation technology, where insulation resistances must be tested on electrical systems, wiring, or equipment. It is especially useful during inspections in industrial environments, machine maintenance, or in buildings where test points are located at elevated positions or in dark rooms. The integrated lighting provides effective illumination of the test point, facilitating precise positioning of the test tip.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

A central feature of the probe is the yellow button, which directly triggers the insulation measurement. This reduces the need to operate the main device's button, which is particularly advantageous when working at height or with limited reach. The test tip is removable and lockable, allowing it to be securely stored in the probe housing when not in use. This design prevents loss and protects the tip from damage.

Technology Explained Simply

The probe functions as a remote control unit connected to the main device via a cable. The measurement is triggered by an electrical impulse transmitted through the cable to the device. The integrated lighting is also powered and activated by the device as soon as the yellow button is pressed. The lighting aids visual orientation at the test point and improves work accuracy in poorly lit areas.

Compatibility and Accessories

The probe is compatible with the mentioned models of insulation testers C.A 6522, C.A 6524, C.A 6526, C.A 653x, as well as installation testers C.A 6113, C.A 6116N, and C.A 6117. The connection is made via a specific interface standardised for this device family. This is purely supplementary accessory, not functioning as an independent measuring instrument, but extending the functionality of the main devices.

Mounting and Installation

Installation is performed by connecting to the corresponding socket on the main device. The probe is directly plugged into the connector, with the test tip locking mechanism ensuring it does not accidentally release during operation. Operation is performed by pressing the yellow button, which starts the measurement. The user manual is included in the delivery scope.

Advantages in Operation

The probe increases efficiency in performing insulation measurements, as the measurement can be triggered directly at the test point without the user needing to touch the main device. The integrated lighting improves visibility and contributes to measurement accuracy. The removable test tip allows compact storage and protects the tip from damage. The locking mechanism prevents accidental release during work.

The accessory is thus a practical addition for professionals who regularly perform insulation tests and value quick, safe, and convenient operation. The user manual is included in the delivery scope.
