General
Diameter	22 mm

The RFID transponder from Chauvin Arnoux is a specific accessory for the machine testers C.A 6161 and C.A 6163, as well as the device testers C.A 6107 and C.A 6108. It serves for the unique identification of test objects and enables automatic identification via the integrated transponder reader in the test devices. The technology is based on a frequency of 125 kHz, used for communication between the transponder and the reader. The design is compact and flat, ensuring flexible mounting on various test objects.

Applications

The transponder is used in testing processes where reliable and fast identification of devices or machines is required. It is particularly suitable for applications in the field of electrical safety testing, where the assignment of test data to a specific test object is important. Use in conjunction with the specified test devices enables structured documentation and avoids misassignment.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The transponder is designed as a thin disc, with a diameter of 22 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. This design allows for easy attachment to various surfaces, for example on device housings or machine parts. The unique identification is achieved via RFID technology, with the transponder carrying a fixed identification number that is recognised and processed by the device tester. Automatic test object identification reduces manual input and minimises error sources.

Technology Explained Simply

The RFID technology (Radio-Frequency Identification) operates here in the frequency range of 125 kHz. This range is suitable for short ranges and simple, robust applications. The transponder itself is passive, meaning it requires no internal power supply, but is activated by the electromagnetic energy from the reader. Communication is contactless, enabling fast and reliable identification. The frequency of 125 kHz is widely used in industrial testing technology and offers a good balance between range and reliability.

Compatibility and Accessories

The transponder is exclusively compatible with the machine testers C.A 6161 and C.A 6163, as well as the device testers C.A 6107 and C.A 6108. Compatibility is based on the specific transponder reader technology of these devices. Use with other devices is not intended and is not supported.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is done by mechanical attachment to the surface of the test object. Due to its thin design, the transponder can be placed at various locations, provided sufficient proximity to the transponder reader of the test device is ensured. No special tools or additional components are required. Attachment is typically done by gluing or mechanical fixation, with the exact method determined by the user depending on the test object.

Advantages in Operation

Using the RFID transponder improves the efficiency of testing processes, as identification of the test object is automatic. This reduces time spent on manual input and lowers the likelihood of errors. Unique identification enables precise assignment of test data, which is particularly beneficial for extensive testing or documentation of maintenance intervals. The robust design and simple mounting contribute to practical handling.
