• ANDROID application for report generation
• Power supply by mains-rechargeable batteries, USB socket or vehicle cigarette lighter

ERGONOMICS AND FUNCTIONS

Designed for checking safety on electrical installations, the C.A 6131 and C.A 6133 can be used to test a new installation before powering it up, check an existing installation, whether in operation or not, and to troubleshoot a dysfunction.
For inspection organizations, these portable instruments are simple, effective and, above all, compliant with the applicable standards.

Functions

Continuity| Compliant with the IEC 61557-4standard. If the buzzer is active,users are informed by a beep ifthe measurement is below thethreshold, so they do not have to look at the screen.
---|---
Earth| This function allows you to measure an earthy resistance using the stake method when the electrical installation to be tested is not powered up (new installation, for example). It is only available on the C.A 6133.
Loop| Loop measurement is performed in Trip or No Trip mode. On a TN or TT installation, loopimpedance measurement can be used to size the protective systems for the installation (fuses or RCDs), particularly in terms of breaking capacity. Ona TT installation, this measurement serves to determine the value of the earth resistance without setting up any stakes and without having to power down the installation.
Insulation| The user selects the test voltage and chooses the set of alarm thresholds. A visual indication instantaneously shows whether the test is OK or not: if the measurement is higher than the threshold, the V LED lights up. If the measurement is lower than the threshold, the X LED lights up.
RCD| The comprehensive RCD test can be used with type A and AC RCDs. 3 types of test are available:
– No Trip test,
– Trip test in pulse mode,
– Trip test in ramp mode.

CHECK THE COMPLIANCE OF ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS WITH A SINGLE INSTRUMENT

COMPLEMENTARY FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE ON THE C.A 6133

Automatic test sequence
Save time! The AUTO-RCD automatic test sequence performs the following operations:

• the No-Trip test, the Trip test at 1 x IΔn and the Trip test at 5 x IΔn,
• if necessary, the Trip test in ramp mode. A single press on the backup buttons saves all the tests performed.

Another automatic test sequence is also available which performs the following tests, successively:
LOOP – RCD – INSULATION Current measurement
The MN73A clamp is recognized automatically when it is connected, as is the measurement calibre. Data storage The data storage function can be used to store your measurement results: up to 99 tests per site on up to 30 sites!

Bluetooth communication for Android IT-Report application
The ANDROID IT-Report application can be used to transfer the test results stored in the C.A 6133 onto a tablet or smartphone via Bluetooth. Test reports are then generated and sent automatically by email or simply stored for processing later on.
