Chauvin Arnoux P01145460F CA 6117 installation tester incl. software DataView content_copy

The C.A 6117 from Chauvin Arnoux is a versatile multifunction device for testing electrical installations in accordance with national and international standards such as IEC 60364-6, NF C 15-100, VDE 100 and FD C 16-600. It is used for comprehensive testing of electrical systems in industry, service sector and residential buildings and is suitable for all neutral conductor systems (TT, TN, IT). The device combines modern technology with easy operation and enables precise, fast measurements under various operating conditions, even in disturbed industrial environments.

Applications

The C.A 6117 is used for testing electrical installations, particularly during commissioning, maintenance and inspection of systems. It covers all relevant tests required by standards such as DIN VDE 0100-600 and DIN VDE 0105-100. The application is in residential buildings, commercial and industrial facilities, where reliable and standard-compliant testing of electrical safety is required.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device offers a wide range of measurement functions, including continuity testing, resistance measurement, insulation testing, earthing and selective earthing measurement, loop impedance testing, and residual current testing for RCD/FI switches of types AC, A, B, B+, F and EV. Testing is performed in ramp or impulse mode, with the option to perform tests without triggering. Additionally, voltage, frequency and current can be measured with clamp, as well as active power, harmonic analysis, rotation field direction and voltage drop. An integrated fuse module supports testing of FI switches type B and enables additional voltage drop measurements.

Technology Explained Simply

The C.A 6117 features a colour LCD graphic display with backlighting, which clearly presents measurement results. A rotary switch provides direct access to all functions. Audible signals and visual indicators support standard-compliant interpretation of results. The integrated context help offers step-by-step instructions, including connection diagrams and warnings, to simplify the testing process. Power supply is via a powerful lithium-ion battery, enabling up to 30 hours of operation. Measurement data is stored in a structured manner on three levels (location / room / object), with the internal memory capable of storing up to 1000 measurements.

Compatibility and Accessories

Data can be transferred to a PC via USB interface, where it can be analysed and converted into reports using the DataView® software. The software automatically recognises the device and offers predefined report templates that can be customised. The integrated ICT software supports fast data analysis and management of stored measurements. The device is supplied with a transport bag, a hand-carry strap and a shoulder strap to enable mobile and ergonomic use.

Mounting and Installation

The C.A 6117 is designed as a portable device and requires no mounting. It is used directly on the test object, with operation via the rotary switch and display. The integrated context help supports the user in correctly performing the tests, including correct connection configuration.

Operational Advantages

The combination of comprehensive measurement functions, long battery life and structured data storage makes the C.A 6117 an efficient tool for electrical specialists. The integrated fuse table for loop measurement and the context help reduce errors and speed up the testing process. USB data transfer and software support enable professional documentation and evaluation of results.
