1.1 Warnings and notes

Read before use

1.1.1 Safety warnings

In order to reach high level of operator safety while carrying out various measurements using the C.A 6165 instrument,
as well as to keep the test equipment undamaged, it is necessary to consider the following general warnings:



Read this Instruction manual carefully, otherwise use of the instrument may be dangerous for the operator,
for the instrument or for the equipment under test!



Consider warning markings on the instrument!



If the test equipment is used in manner not specified in this Instruction manual the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired!



Do not use the instrument and accessories if any damage is noticed!



Regularly check the instrument and accessories for correct functioning to avoid hazard that could occur from
misleading results.



Consider all generally known precautions in order to avoid risk of electric shock while dealing with hazardous
voltages!



Use only standard or optional test accessories supplied by your distributor!



Only test adapters provided or approved by Chauvin Arnoux should be connected to TC1 (test and
communication) connectors.



Use only earthed mains outlets to supply the instrument!



In case a fuse has blown refer to chapter

5.1 Fuses

in this Instruction manual to replace it!



Instrument servicing and calibration is allowed to be carried out only by a competent authorized person!



Chauvin Arnoux is not responsible for the content of the user-programmed Auto Sequences®!

1.1.2 Warnings related to safety of measurement functions

1.1.2.1

HV AC, HV DC, HV AC programmable, HV DC programmable



A dangerous voltage up to 5 kV

AC

or 6 kV

DC

is applied to the HV instrument outputs during the test. Therefore

special safety consideration must be taken when performing this test!



Only a skilled person familiar with hazardous voltages can perform this measurement!



DO NOT perform this test if any damage or abnormality (test leads, instrument) is noted!



Never touch exposed probe tip, connections equipment under test or any other energized part during the
measurements. Make sure that NOBODY can contact them either!
