This product is a replacement part for installation testers of the C.A 6113, C.A 6116N, C.A 6117 series, as well as for machine testers C.A 6161 and C.A 6163, manufactured by Chauvin Arnoux. It is a tripod test cable, consisting of three separate safety test leads in the colours red, blue, and green. These leads serve as connection cables for carrying out electrical tests, particularly for insulation testing and continuity testing in low-voltage installations. The colour coding enables clear identification of the leads with their respective test points, enhancing work safety and the reliability of measurement results.

Applications

The tripod cable is specifically designed for use with the mentioned installation testers and machine testers. It is used in the field of electrical installation and maintenance of electrical systems, where precise and safe measurement of insulation values and electrical continuity of cables and devices is required. The application is in low-voltage installations, for example in residential and commercial buildings, during machine maintenance, or for testing electrical equipment after maintenance work.

Functions and Features in Detail

The three separate test leads are colour-coded (red, blue, green) to ensure clear assignment to the respective test points. Each lead is designed as a safety test lead, meaning it complies with electrical safety requirements for measurements in live or de-energised installations. The leads are intended for connection to the corresponding test devices and enable the performance of tests such as insulation testing, where the resistance of the insulation between conductors or between conductors and earth is measured, and continuity testing, where the electrical connection between two points is checked.

Technology Explained Simply

The design of the tripod cable takes into account the requirements for safety and reliability in electrical measurements. The three separate leads prevent unintended connections between test points, helping to avoid errors in measurement results. The colour coding (red, blue, green) facilitates the assignment of the leads to the respective connection points on the device and on the installation. The leads are designed as safety test leads, meaning they are suitable for use in electrical installations according to applicable standards. The use of this cable is essential to ensure the functionality of the test devices C.A 6113, C.A 6116N, C.A 6117, C.A 6161, and C.A 6163.

Compatibility and Accessories

The tripod cable is specifically developed for installation testers C.A 6113, C.A 6116N, C.A 6117 and machine testers C.A 6161, C.A 6163. It is intended as a replacement part to restore device functionality in case of wear or damage to the original leads. Compatibility is limited to these specific models; use with other devices is not intended. The leads are not equipped with additional accessories such as connectors, cable ties, or terminal clamps, as they are designed as replacement parts for the specified test devices.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out by simply connecting the three leads to the corresponding sockets on the test devices. The colour coding (red, blue, green) serves as a guide to correctly assign the leads. The leads are connected to the test points in the electrical installation, while complying with safety regulations for electrical measurements. Installation requires no special tools or additional components; the leads are ready for immediate use.

Operational Advantages

Using this tripod cable ensures safe and reliable performance of electrical tests. The separate leads prevent incorrect measurements due to unintended connections, and the colour coding simplifies assignment. As a replacement part, it enables restoration of device functionality without having to replace the entire device. The leads are designed for use in low-voltage installations and meet the requirements for safety test leads.
