They can be used to check insulation and voltages and to measure resistances. The C.A 6531 can also be used for: measurement of the capacitance of a telephone line current measurement measurement of the pure alternating component of a DC voltage.
See the diagrams of the instruments in § 10 (appendix at the end of this user’s manual) 2.1.1 C.A 6531 3 safety terminals, Ø 4 mm (marked “mA”, “ + “ and “ - “) Next to the “ – “ terminal, there are two additional contacts for connecting the remote control probe (3-point connector).
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9. 2.3.5 C.A 6531 and C.A 6533 When this key is pressed, the backlighting of the display comes on. It will be turned off automatically one minute later. When it is lit, you can turn the backlighting off by pressing this key again.
The instrument indicates if the value measured is outside its measurement range. If the insulation resistance is greater than 400 MΩ (C.A 6531), 2 or 20 GΩ (C.A 6533), the OL symbol is displayed on the digital measurement display. When the measurement is greater than 1.1 GΩ...
If the leads are not connected, the digital measurement display indicates 0.00 and - - - - km. AC / DC current (C.A 6531) Current measurement corresponds to the 400 mA position of the switch.
< 6.7 V): the digital display indicates BAT and then, after 5 seconds, the shutdown buzzer sounds and the automatic shutdown function is activated. The instrument shuts down. 4.3.2 Fuse (C.A 6531) The fuse is automatically tested when switching on the instrument and at the end of each current measurement.
For example, a 2 GΩ insulation threshold will be stored in the memory as 399.9 MΩ on the C.A 6531, while for resistance measurement 700 kΩ will become 399.9 kΩ on the C.A 6533.
This key can be used at any time except in voltage mode on the MΩ Ω Ω Ω Ω positions. Programming the capacitance per unit length (C.A 6531) When the switch is set to nF, a long press on the key activates the programming mode for the capacitance per unit length of the line to be measured.
During programming, if you change the switch position, you lose what you have just done. You can quit the programming mode and record the value by another long press on the key. 5. USE To display the device software version and series number press the yellow button whilst switching on via the rotating switch.
Resistance measurement Start up the instrument by setting the switch to 40 kΩ (C.A 6531) or 400 kΩ (C.A 6533). Connect the + and - leads to the measurement points. Note the resistance value displayed (see § 3.2). Note: The user can control the backlighting as required by pressing the key.
3 to 6 s/µF according to the measurement for the C.A 6531 and in less than 2 s/µF for the C.A 6533. 6.2.3 Resistance Measurement range : 0 to 40 kΩ for the C.A 6531 0 to 400 kΩ...
6.2.7 AC voltage (C.A 6531) Measurement range: 0 to 399.9 V AC Frequency: 10 Hz to 1 MHz Resolution: 0.1 V AC Accuracy: ± 3% R ± 3 ct Internal impedance: 4 MΩ Power supply The instruments are powered by 6 x 1.5 V alkaline batteries, type LR6.
C.A 6531, and 720 V AC/DC on the C.A 6533. The C.A 6531 is protected for 10 s against an accidental overvoltage of 720 V across all the ranges. The current input on the C.A 6531 accepts 0.63 A, beyond which it is protected by fuse. 6.7. Construction specifications Overall dimensions of the unit (L x l x h): 211 x 108 x 60 mm Dimensions of the display: 73 mm x 54.3 mm...
1.5 V batteries should be mounted. Make sure that you put the hatch back properly and close it after changing the batteries. 7.1.2. Replacing the fuse (C.A 6531) If “FUS” appears on the digital measurement display during the start-up phase or when measuring continuity, you must change the fuse, taking all the necessary precautions when opening the instrument.
We advise you to check this instrument at least once a year. For checking and calibration of your instrument, please contact our accredited laboratories (list on request) or the Chauvin Arnoux subsidiary or Agent in your country. 7.2. Maintenance...
