Chauvin Arnoux P01298082 Comfort carrying strap for CA 6113, CA 6116N, CA 6117 content_copy

The carrying strap from Chauvin Arnoux is an ergonomic accessory for the installation testers C.A 6113, C.A 6116N and C.A 6117. It enables handheld operation and provides a comfortable, back-friendly carrying method during work with the devices. The strap is specifically designed for use during extended inspection and testing tasks, where the device must be carried for prolonged periods. Its construction ensures even weight distribution, reducing strain on the shoulders and back. The material is durable and suitable for intensive use on construction sites, in workshops, or during technical inspections.

Applications

The carrying strap is intended for all application scenarios where the installation testers C.A 6113, C.A 6116N or C.A 6117 are used in handheld operation. This includes, in particular, testing of electrical installations in residential, commercial and industrial buildings according to international standards such as IEC 60364-6, DIN VDE 0100-600 or NF C 15-100. The devices are often held in hand to perform measurements at various points in the installation. The strap allows the user to keep their hands free while the device is secured to the body, increasing both work speed and safety.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The carrying strap is designed as a 4-point harness with a shoulder strap, ensuring stable and secure attachment of the device. It is specifically developed for the mentioned installation testers, guaranteeing a secure and precise fit. The ergonomic shape of the strap ensures that the device’s weight (2.2 kg) is evenly distributed across the shoulders and upper body. This minimizes physical strain during work, which is particularly beneficial during extended use. The strap is robust and designed for repeated use.

Technology Explained Simply

The strap operates without electrical components and relies on a mechanical fastening system. It is attached to the body via a shoulder strap and a waist strap, with the device secured to the harness using an integrated holder or clamp connection. The materials are resistant to wear and mechanical stress, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. The design ensures that the device does not slip or fall even during movement.

Compatibility and Accessories

The carrying strap is exclusively intended for the installation testers C.A 6113, C.A 6116N and C.A 6117. It is not compatible with other devices from the manufacturer. The devices themselves are multifunction installation testers enabling a wide range of measurements, including earth resistance measurements, insulation resistance measurements, loop impedance, RCD testing and voltage drop measurements. The devices comply with the standard IEC 61557 and are suitable for network systems TT, TN and IT. Test voltages range from 50 to 1000 V DC, and measurement ranges include resistances from 0.01 MΩ to 2 GΩ and earth resistance from 0.50 Ω to 15 kΩ. Power supply is via a rechargeable NiMH battery with 9.6 V and 4 Ah nominal capacity, enabling up to 24 hours of autonomy. The devices feature a large, backlit LCD display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and a screen size of 5.7 inches. The protection class is IP 53, and the devices are approved for categories CAT III 600 V and CAT IV 300 V.

Installation and Mounting

Mounting the carrying strap involves putting on the shoulder and waist straps and securing the device to the integrated holder. The attachment is simple and requires no additional tools. The devices themselves are equipped with an integrated connection for the carrying strap, allowing the strap to be attached directly to the device. Operation of the device is via a rotary switch on the front, enabling quick and direct access to all functions. The connection sockets are colour-coded to ensure easy and error-free connections.

Advantages in Operation

The carrying strap enables efficient and ergonomic work with the installation testers. The user’s hands remain free, allowing them to hold test leads or pliers while the device is secured to the body. The back relief reduces physical strain, which is particularly advantageous during extended inspection tasks. The robust construction ensures long service life and reliability in use. The strap is therefore a valuable accessory for electricians, service technicians and testing organizations who use the devices C.A 6113, C.A 6116N or C.A 6117 in daily operations.
