  • Page 2 ENGLISH Thank you for purchasing a C.A 773 or C.A 773 IP2X voltage detector. For best results from your instrument: „ read these operating instructions carefully, „ comply with the precautions for use. WARNING, risk of DANGER! The operator must refer to these instruc- tions whenever this danger symbol appears.
  • Page 3: Table Of Contents

    PRECAUTIONS FOR USE This device is protected against voltages up to 1000V with respect to earth in meas- urement category IV. The protection provided by the device may be compromised if it is used other than as specified by the manufacturer and so endanger the user. „...
  • Page 4: Introduction

    1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. C.A 773 Black test Red test probe L1. probe. Lighting of Cap. measure- ment point. Bargraph. 1400 1000 Phase indicator. Hazardous volt- age indicator. Ω Polarity indicator. Backlit digi- 30mA Ω tal display. AUTO TEST 30mA Function buttons.
  • Page 5 1.2. ON THE BACK There are two ways to attach the black test probe to the back: „ flat, with a 16 mm distance between test probes, „ on the side, with a 19 mm distance between test probes. 16 mm 19 mm Red test probe (underneath).
  • Page 6 The C.A 773 is a voltage detector with indicator lights. It complies with the recommendations of the IEC 61243-3 standard. The main function of the C.A 773 is Voltage Absence Testing (VAT). It detects haz- ardous voltages, i.e. higher than ELV (extra-low voltage) 50 V...
  • Page 7: Use

    This device is a detector. The indications it provides must not be used for measure- ment purposes. 2.1. SELF-TEST Before using the C.A 773, run a self-test. This checks the integrity of the cable and the test probes, correct operation of the electronic circuit, and a sufficient voltage level for the batteries.
  • Page 8 Note: If the AUTO TEST button is held down for more than 10 seconds with the test probes not in contact, the device goes into stand-by mode. 2.2. LIGHTING OF MEASUREMENT POINT The C.A 773 can light up the measurement point, with a white indicator light located under the red test probe. Ω...
  • Page 9 Place the test probes on the element to be tested, and hold them firmly in contact. There is no need to switch on the C.A 773; it starts up automatically. The voltage is displayed on the bargraph and on the digital display unit.
  • Page 10 Ω Keep the button pressed. If no voltage is detected, the C.A 773 performs a continuity check. The result is indicated only on the digital display. If it is less than 125 W, the device emits a continuous audible signal.
  • Page 11 2.5. PHASE DETECTION The C.A 773 performs single-pole phase detection.. This means that you can con- nect just one test probe to find out if a phase is present. To operate properly, phase detection must be used on earth-referenced networks.
  • Page 12 „ Otherwise, the device reports that it is taking the voltage reference by the blinking of “reference” on the display unit. When the reference has been acquired, the C.A 773 emits two treble beeps and “reference” is displayed steadily. Then shift the red probe tip to the last phase of the system.
  • Page 13 2.8. IP2X TEST PROBES IP2X test probe leads are delivered with the device (C.A 773 IP2X) or as an option (C.A 773) according to the model ordered. The use of IP2X accessories is an additional safety feature. These accessories may be mandatory in certain countries.
  • Page 14 1400 1000 30mA Ω AUTO TEST 30mA C.A 773 SAFETY TESTER To perform a test, place the test probe on the object to be tested and press to slide the protective cover. GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at:...
  • Page 15: Characteristics

    If the voltage present is < 12 V, no indicator is lit. If the voltage present is < 1 V, the digital display is off. The C.A 773 must be used on voltage-normalized networks only. Operating cycle: 30 s (maximum time that the device can be connected to a live element) - 240 s (minimum rest time during which the detector must not be con- nected to a live element).
  • Page 16 3.2.4. ORDER OF PHASES Phase between 45 and 400 Hz. Voltage between 50 and 1000 V between phases. Time for acquisition of information after contact ≤ 1 s. Information retention time: 10 s. Allowable unbalance amplitude: 20%. Allowable voltage harmonics: 10%. Rejection of EDF remote control frames (TCC-175 Hz-188 Hz).
  • Page 17 3.4. POWER SUPPLY The C.A 773 is powered by two 1.5 V alkaline batteries (type AA or LR6). The battery life provides 2,500 ten-second measurements. The batteries can be replaced with rechargeable accumulators, but these will not last as long.
  • Page 18: Maintenance

    This instrument should be checked at least once a year. For checking and calibration, contact one of our accredited metrology laboratories (information and contact details available on request), at our Chauvin Arnoux subsidiary or the branch in your country. 4.4. REPAIR For all repairs before or after expiry of warranty, please return the device to your distributor.
