The C.A 6108 device tester from Chauvin Arnoux is a multifunctional testing instrument for safety inspections of portable electrical equipment in accordance with DIN VDE 0701-0702, as well as for electromedical devices according to DIN VDE 0751-1 / EN 62353. The device also supports inspections according to DGUV Regulation 3 and can optionally be used for testing arc welding equipment (DIN VDE 0544-4) and for measuring standby power consumption in accordance with EU Regulation 1275/2008. It is designed for field use and features a robust housing.

Applications

The C.A 6108 is primarily intended for safety and repeat inspections in companies, hospitals, clinics, and other facilities where electrical equipment and medical devices must be regularly tested. The testing process is automated, with clear text instructions and connection diagrams displayed on the large, backlit screen. Results are immediately indicated with a visual pass/fail evaluation using green and red LEDs, enabling quick decision-making.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device features an integrated QWERTZ keyboard, enabling fast entry of test object data. In combination with a barcode or transponder scanner, test objects can be uniquely identified, making the management of recurring inspections more efficient. The internal memory provides space for up to 100,000 measurements and data from up to 32 customers. Data can be exchanged with a PC via USB stick or USB cable.

Technology Explained Simply

The C.A 6108 measures various electrical parameters, including protective conductor resistance up to 4,000 Ω, insulation resistances up to 20,000 MΩ, differential currents up to 20,00 mA, substitute leakage currents up to 40,00 mA, patient leakage currents up to 4,000 mA, substitute patient leakage currents up to 4,000 mA, touch currents up to 4,000 mA, current values up to 20,0 A (direct) and up to 40,0 A (via clamp), voltages up to 260,0 V, power up to 4000 W, and no-load voltages up to 350,0 V. Measurements are performed with automatic line compensation. Test currents are 200 mA and 10 A. Devices with fixed connections or three-phase consumers can be tested using CEE adapters (16, 32, or 63 A). Power supply is either via mains or battery.

Compatibility and Accessories

Optional extensions are available, including a current clamp adapter for leakage current measurement without disconnecting, adapters for RCD, PRCD, and PRCD-S cold appliance testing, and extensions for testing arc welding equipment. Standby current measurement (up to 40,00 mA) and standby power measurement (up to 500 mW) are also available as options. Data can be processed using the PC software C.A Appliance Standard to create test reports and archive master data in Microsoft Word™ and Excel™ formats.

Mounting and Installation

The device is designed as a portable measuring instrument and requires no mounting. It is connected directly to the test object, with connection diagrams on the display supporting correct connections. Operation is performed via the integrated keyboard and display.

Advantages in Operation

The C.A 6108 offers high measurement accuracy and comprehensive functionality in a single device. Automated testing processes and direct result evaluation reduce error susceptibility and speed up the testing process. The storage of large data volumes and the ability to transfer data enable efficient documentation and traceability of inspections. The combination of a robust housing and battery operation makes the device suitable for mobile applications as well.
