Chauvin Arnoux P01103060Z Single-hand test probe with 4mm plug, 600 V CAT IV, red content_copy

The test probe from Chauvin Arnoux is a single, red measuring probe, specifically designed for handheld operation with multimeters. It is intended for safe voltage measurement in electrical installations and enables precise measurements up to 1000 V in category CAT IV. The probe features a robust 4 mm plug, ensuring a stable and reliable connection to the measuring device. The red colour identifies the probe as a positive or plus-pole probe, aiding clear identification when working with electrical systems.

Applications

The test probe is intended for use in electrical installations, particularly in environments where high voltages must be measured. The CAT IV category (1000 V) makes it suitable for measurements on the primary side of distributors, in meter boxes, or on the input side of transformers, where the highest safety requirements apply. It is designed for technicians in the electrical trade, in industry, or for maintenance work on electrical installations.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The probe is supplied as a single unit and serves as a replacement or supplementary part for existing measuring devices. The 4 mm plug conforms to the standard for multimeters and allows universal use with devices supporting this connection. The red colour is a visual identifier that simplifies assignment to positive poles when working with multiple probes. The design is intended for handheld operation, enabling easy handling even in confined or hard-to-reach areas.

Technology Explained Simply

The specification 1000 V CAT IV refers to the safety category of the test probe. CAT IV is the highest category for measuring instruments and accessories and applies to measurements on the input side of distributors, where the highest transient voltages can occur. The test probe is therefore designed for use in high-voltage environments and offers a high protection standard. The 4 mm plug is a standard connector widely used in measurement technology and ensures a secure mechanical connection.

Compatibility and Accessories

The test probe is compatible with multimeters that support a 4 mm plug connection. It can be used as a replacement part or supplement to existing measuring systems.

Mounting and Installation

The test probe is directly inserted into the 4 mm plug socket of the multimeter. No additional mounting or installation is required. The connection is made via a mechanical plug lock, ensuring a secure and stable connection.

Advantages in Operation

The test probe provides safe and precise measurement in high-voltage environments. The combination of CAT IV protection class and 4 mm plug ensures universal usability and high reliability. The red colour supports orientation when working with multiple measuring probes. The design for handheld operation allows flexible handling even in confined workspaces.
