Chauvin Arnoux P01102166 Test probe (5m) content_copy

This accessory from Chauvin Arnoux is specifically designed for the device testers C.A 6107 and C.A 6108 and serves as a test probe for performing protective earth conductor resistance measurements and touch current measurements. It enables precise and reliable measurements, especially at hard-to-reach locations, thanks to a particularly long connection cable with a length of 5 metres. The cable extension increases flexibility when testing electrical devices and installations without compromising measurement accuracy.

Applications
This accessory is designed for use in electrical specialist practice, where safety tests on electrical devices are carried out regularly. It is particularly used for testing protective conductors and touch currents to ensure the electrical safety of devices in accordance with applicable standards. The application is in areas such as industry, crafts, building technology, and maintenance services, where safe and efficient testing is required.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The test probe is equipped with a 5-metre connection cable, providing great freedom of movement during the testing process. This is particularly advantageous when the tester cannot work directly next to the device under test, for example, with devices in elevated positions, in enclosures, or in confined spaces. The probe itself is designed for connection with the device testers C.A 6107 and C.A 6108 and performs the measurement task by establishing the required contacts at the test point.

Technology Explained Simply
The function of the test probe is based on transmitting the measurement signals from the device tester via the 5-metre cable to the test point. The protective earth conductor resistance is measured to ensure that the protective conductor has a sufficiently low resistance to allow a safe fault current to flow in the event of a fault. At the same time, the touch current is measured to ensure that it remains below the permissible limit. The cable length ensures that the tester can hold the device in hand and simultaneously position the probe at the test point without affecting the measurement.

Compatibility and Accessories
This accessory is exclusively compatible with the device testers C.A 6107 and C.A 6108 from Chauvin Arnoux. It is not a universal accessory, but specifically developed for these devices to ensure safe and accurate measurements. Use with other device types is not intended and may lead to incorrect measurements.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by simply connecting the test probe to the corresponding connection on the device tester C.A 6107 or C.A 6108. No additional tools or mounting procedures are required. The probe is placed directly at the test point, ensuring that the contacts are securely connected to the device under test. The cable length allows for flexible positioning without having to move the tester.

Operational Advantages
The use of the test probe with a 5-metre cable provides a significant extension of the application possibilities of the device testers C.A 6107 and C.A 6108. The increased reach reduces the need to move the tester or use additional extension cables, saving time and making work processes more efficient. The measurement results remain precise, as the probe is specifically developed for the mentioned devices and does not impair the electrical characteristics of the measurement chain. The test probe is therefore a useful tool for technicians working in practice with limited space or hard-to-reach devices.

Protective earth conductor resistance measurement is a central part of electrical safety testing, ensuring that a sufficiently high fault current flows in the event of a fault to trigger the protective switch. Touch current measurement is used to check whether the current flowing through the protective conductor during a fault remains below the permissible limit to avoid electrical hazards. The test probe is the tool that enables these measurements, and the compatibility with the device testers C.A 6107 and C.A 6108 ensures the reliability of the results.
