Chauvin Arnoux's new C.A 742 and C.A 762 voltage detectors meet the requirements of NF C 18-510 and European standard EN 50110-1, which call for installations to be de-energized before any work is carried out.
Standard NF C 18-510 formalizes this installation safety by means of a procedure known as consignment, where the actual absence of voltage must be checked using a specific device that complies with standard IEC 61243-3, the voltage detector.
When it comes to safety, Chauvin Arnoux's new C.A 742 and C.A 762 voltage detectors go even further.
- The complete self-test extends from checking internal operation, batteries and displays, right through to the end of the test points, and indicates the nature of the fault if necessary.
- The ELV LED, whose intensity increases with voltage from 50 Vac/120 Vdc, ensures redundant, independent safety in the event of power supply faults.
- Voltage detection up to 800 Hz guarantees voltage control on standard 50/60 Hz networks, but also on more specific electrical networks encountered, for example, in maritime or air transport.
- The IP65 protection rating, well above the recommended values, allows indoor and outdoor use on category 4 (CAT IV) installations with mains voltages of 600 V with respect to earth.
- The audible and visual continuity test has a specific control and is set at 100 Ω to follow normative recommendations. The C.A 762 also offers an extended continuity test with visual indication for R < 2 kΩ, 60 kΩ and 300 kΩ.
- The digital technology of these devices allows the C.A 762 to control phase order up to 400 Hz, even behind a generator, inverter or isolation transformer.
- Audible indications exceed 55.5 dB for optimal signaling of voltage, phase detection, continuity...
- Removable cords and fingertips keep the unit in perfect condition at low cost.
The C.A 742 and C.A 762 are available with 2 equipment levels, including an IP2X version that meets the requirements of certain countries including France (NF C 18-510).
