General
Maximum voltage	600 V

This test accessory from Chauvin Arnoux consists of two test leads, specifically designed for use with digital multimeters. The leads are made of PVC and comply with the requirements of standard IEC 61010-031 + A1:2008, which applies to safety for measuring instruments and accessories. The test probes feature the protection rating IP2X, providing protection against contact with a solid object with a diameter of at least 12.5 mm, thus preventing unintended contact with conductive parts. The connectors are designed as angle connectors (male), with a diameter of 4 mm, and are insulated to ensure a safe connection. The leads are rated for a maximum voltage of 600 V and a current capacity of 15 A, making them suitable for applications in category CAT IV – i.e., for measurements near power distribution equipment, such as main power supplies or distribution boards.

Applications
The test leads are intended for use in industrial and craft environments where high safety requirements apply to measuring equipment. The CAT IV category allows use for measurements on the primary side of distribution boards, at power supply units, or on the input side of transformers. The IP2X protection class of the test probes provides additional safety, particularly when working in areas with increased risk of contact.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
Each lead is 1.5 m long and made of robust PVC material, which resists mechanical stress and chemical influences. The color coding (red and black) corresponds to the standard marking for positive and negative poles, facilitating identification during measurement. The angle connectors enable a compact and secure connection to the terminals of the multimeter, improving handling in confined workspaces.

Technology Explained Simply
The standard IEC 61010-031 + A1:2008 defines safety requirements for electrical measuring instruments and accessories. Compliance with this standard ensures that the accessory can be operated safely under defined conditions. The CAT IV category refers to the highest safety level for measurements near power sources, where the maximum permissible voltage of 600 V and current capacity of 15 A define the technical limits. The IP2X protection rating prevents contact with conductive parts by objects with a diameter of at least 12.5 mm, which is particularly relevant when working with test probes.

Compatibility and Accessories
The test leads are designed for digital multimeters (DMM) that feature 4-mm connectors for test leads. The angle connectors fit standard connectors on most industrial multimeters. The leads are not specific to any particular multimeter model, but are compatible with all devices supporting the specified connector dimensions.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the angle connectors into the terminals of the multimeter. The test probes are connected directly to the measurement points. No additional tools or installation procedures are required. The leads are flexible and allow easy handling even in confined spaces.

Operational Advantages
The combination of PVC material, IP2X protection rating, and CAT IV category provides high safety during measurement. The 1.5 m length allows sufficient freedom of movement, while the insulated angle connectors ensure a secure connection. Compliance with the IEC 61010-031 + A1:2008 standard ensures suitability for professional applications.

Scope of Delivery
The delivery includes two test leads, each 1.5 m long, in red and black colors, with IP2X test probes and insulated angle connectors (male, Ø 4 mm).
