The BNC and jack adapter is an accessory for the conductivity meter C.A 10141 by Chauvin Arnoux. It serves as an interface between the 8-pin DIN plug of the measuring device and external sensors, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. The adapter enables the connection of conductivity probes and temperature sensors from the Chauvin Arnoux range, allowing combined measurement of conductivity and temperature in a single device. The construction is robust and designed for use in both laboratory and mobile applications.

Applications

The adapter is specifically used in conjunction with the conductivity meter C.A 10141. It is required for connecting external sensors equipped with BNC plugs (for conductivity cells) or jack plugs (for temperature sensors). Application areas include water quality monitoring, industrial process control, laboratory analyses, and mobile field measurements. The connection is made via the 8-pin DIN plug of the device, ensuring stable and interference-free electrical signal transmission.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The adapter features two separate outputs: a BNC plug for connecting conductivity probes and a jack plug for temperature sensors. These two connections allow simultaneous measurement of two parameters – conductivity and temperature – using a single measuring device. The connection is mechanically stable and prevents loose contacts that could lead to measurement errors. The use of standard connectors (BNC and jack) ensures compatibility with a wide range of sensors from the Chauvin Arnoux portfolio.

Technology Explained Simply

The adapter functions as a mechanical and electrical interface between the 8-pin DIN plug of the C.A 10141 and the sensors. The 8-pin DIN plug is a standard connection for measuring devices of this type, transmitting multiple signals (e.g., measurement signal, ground, temperature signal). The BNC plug is used for conductivity measurement, as it provides a secure, interference-free connection for high-frequency and measurement signals. The jack plug is used for connecting temperature sensors, which are often equipped with a simple, robust cable featuring a 3.5 mm plug. Electrical signal separation occurs within the adapter, preventing signal interference.

Compatibility and Accessories

The adapter is exclusively intended for use with the conductivity meter C.A 10141. It is compatible with conductivity probes and temperature sensors manufactured by Chauvin Arnoux and equipped with BNC or jack plugs. Use with other devices or sensors is not intended and may cause malfunctions. The connection is made via the 8-pin DIN plug of the device, ensuring stable electrical signal transmission.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by simply plugging the adapter into the 8-pin DIN connector of the C.A 10141. Subsequently, the probe (via BNC) and the temperature sensor (via jack plug) are connected to the corresponding outputs of the adapter. No additional tools or settings are required. The connection is immediately operational once the sensors are correctly connected.

Operational Advantages

The adapter reduces the number of required cables and connectors by enabling the connection of two sensors via a single connection point. This reduces the risk of contact errors and simplifies handling, especially during mobile measurements. The use of standard connectors (BNC and jack) ensures high connection quality and compatibility with the entire Chauvin Arnoux sensor portfolio. The robust design ensures long service life and reliable performance under various operating conditions.

Scope of Delivery

The adapter is delivered as a single unit. The scope of delivery includes 1 x BNC & jack adapter.
