This accessory from Chauvin Arnoux is a two-colour signal lamp, specifically developed for the machine tester C.A 6165. The lamp serves as a visual indicator in the high-voltage mode (HV mode) and signals the operating status of the device. It enables technicians to quickly and clearly assess whether the tester is ready for high-voltage tests or whether dangerous high voltages are present. The indication is provided by two colours: green indicates readiness for operation, red signals activation of high voltage and warns of dangerous voltages. This clear visual feedback supports workplace safety, especially during tests involving high voltages.

Applications

The signal lamp is exclusively intended for use with the machine tester C.A 6165. It serves as a supplement to device operation, making the status of the high-voltage test immediately visible. The application is in environments where electrical devices are tested for insulation resistance, dielectric strength, or other high-voltage properties. The visual signalling is particularly useful in workshops, maintenance facilities, or during repair work, where a quick and clear status indication helps prevent accidents.

Functions and equipment in detail

The lamp operates in the HV mode of the machine tester and indicates the operating status by colour change. Green means the tester is ready for high-voltage testing and no dangerous voltages are present. Red indicates that high voltage is activated and dangerous high voltages are present. This function serves safety and prevents accidental contact or incorrect operation. The indication is directly integrated into the device and allows immediate visual control without additional measuring instruments or displays.

Technology explained simply

The signal lamp is a passive accessory module that connects to the machine tester C.A 6165 and visually displays its internal signals. The colour changes (green/red) occur automatically as soon as the tester reaches the corresponding operating state. The green indication confirms that the tester is in a safe state for starting a high-voltage test. The red indication is activated as soon as high voltage is generated, to warn of dangerous voltages. The technology is based on direct signal transmission from the device to the lamp, without additional power supply or external control.

Compatibility and accessories

The accessory is exclusively compatible with the machine tester C.A 6165. It is not a universal module, but specifically developed for this device. Use with other devices is not intended and not supported. There are no additional accessories specifically offered for this signal lamp. The function is directly adapted to the C.A 6165 to ensure safe and reliable signalling.

Mounting and installation

The signal lamp is mounted directly on the machine tester C.A 6165. The exact mounting method is described in the delivery contents and is carried out by mechanical fastening to the device. No additional tools or electrical connections are required. Installation is done by simply attaching it to designated holders or connection points on the tester. The lamp is designed to communicate directly with the device, without additional cables or adapters.

Advantages in operation

The signal lamp improves workplace safety during high-voltage tests by making the device's operating status immediately visible. The clear colour coding (green/red) enables quick decision-making on whether a test can be started or whether the device is still under high voltage. This reduces the risk of incorrect operation and increases efficiency in maintenance and testing processes. The indication is also visible from a greater distance, which is advantageous when working together or with multiple technicians.

Delivery contents

The product is delivered as a lamp for HV mode (green/red) for the machine tester C.A 6165. It serves to indicate readiness for operation and to warn of applied high voltage. The signal lamp is the only item delivered.
