The HT-test probe pistol-shaped 3m cable 2-piece set from Chauvin Arnoux is a set of two high-voltage test pistols, each equipped with a 3 m long cable. These devices are specifically designed for use with the machine and control panel controllers CA 6161, CA 6162, and CA 6163. The test pistols are used for safe and precise inspection of high-voltage installations up to 5 kV. They enable contactless detection of voltage in electrical systems and are therefore an important tool for electrical specialists during maintenance and inspection work.
High-voltage testing in industrial applications
The HT-test probes are designed for use in industrial and commercial environments, where safe and reliable testing of electrical systems is crucial. The pistol shape provides ergonomic handling, allowing precise targeting of the conductors or contacts to be tested. The maximum test voltage of 5 kV covers the typical application range in machine and control panel technology. The devices are designed to be compatible with the mentioned controllers, which feature corresponding inputs for high-voltage testing.
Functions and equipment in detail
Each test pistol in the set features a 3 m long cable, providing sufficient reach for work at hard-to-access locations. The cable is robustly constructed and suitable for industrial environments. The pistols themselves are designed for contactless voltage detection, minimizing the risk of direct electrical contact. The devices are part of a system designed for use with the CA 6161, CA 6162, and CA 6163 controllers, where the test pistols function as input devices for high-voltage testing.
Technology explained simply
The test pistols use high-voltage detection technology, in which an electric field is generated around the conductor to be tested. This field is detected by the probe, enabling recognition of the presence of voltage. The 5 kV limit ensures that the devices are suitable for most applications in machine and control panel technology. The 3 m cables allow flexible use, even when the test point is distant from the operator. The devices are not intended for measuring voltage values, but for detecting the presence of voltage.
Compatibility and accessories
The HT-test probes are exclusively intended for use with the CA 6161, CA 6162, and CA 6163 controllers from Chauvin Arnoux. These devices are machine and control panel controllers featuring special inputs for high-voltage testing. The test pistols are not compatible with other devices unless explicitly stated as compatible in the product description.
Mounting and installation
The test pistols are not mounted but directly connected to the inputs of the CA 6161, CA 6162, or CA 6163 controllers. The connection is made via the 3 m long cable, which is plugged into the corresponding connector on the controller. The devices are immediately ready for use once connected. No additional mounting or installation work is required.
Advantages in operation
The use of HT-test probes offers the advantage of safe, contactless voltage detection, reducing the risk of electrical accidents. The 3 m cables allow flexible work, even at hard-to-access locations. Compatibility with the CA 6161, CA 6162, and CA 6163 controllers ensures seamless integration into existing testing systems. The devices are robust and designed for industrial use, enabling long service life and reliable performance with regular use.
