The CMC 500 sets new standards in electrical testing technology. Its performance and precision, automatic test procedures, and versatility are all hugely impressive. However, particularly noteworthy are the advanced safety features, which establish a new industry standard for personal safety.
This focus on safety is no coincidence, since the growing electrification of all aspects of our life, at work and at home, increases the demands placed on protection mechanisms. The testing of electrical energy and protection systems, where high voltages and complex procedures collide, exposes engineers to a higher risk from electrical hazards. Safety in the field of electrical testing technology has thus become the benchmark against which every test set has to be measured.
Safety functions that set new standards
Innovative safety functions are characterized by the fact that they increase levels of personal safety yet at the same time have no adverse effect on productivity.
Status light
The CMC 500 status light indicates whether the test set outputs are de-energized or not, providing an additional level of safety. This is of particular importance when testing assets with high levels of inductance, as hazardous levels of energy can still be present.
Operating mode button
The operational mode button of the CMC 500 allows the signal outputs to be de-energized while the device is still switched on. This means work can safely be carried out on the test setup without having to power down the device completely. Reconnecting of the test set and the testing software is no longer necessary.
Interlock key
Removing the INTERLOCK key from the CMC 500 ensures that the device cannot be activated unintentionally or by any unauthorized personnel. This means that safety cannot be compromised, even when the device is out of sight. After reinserting the interlock key, the device is immediately ready for operation again.
Safety Link
The Safety Link enables the CMC 500 to be enhanced with emergency switching off buttons and a safety light – without the need for an external power supply. This provides excellent visibility, ease of access, and a test setup that conforms to EN 50191. The safety light integrated into the emergency switching off button indicates the status of the devices connected to the Safety Link.
Note: The enhanced emergency switching off buttons will be available shortly.
The CMC 500 redefines the meaning of safety in the field of electrical testing technology. Featuring safety functions conforming to international standards, it offers the highest levels of reliable and tested protection.
Sophisticated features, such as status lights, the operational mode button, the interlock key, and Safety Link, ensure that personal safety is not just guaranteed, but also integrated intelligently into the testing process – without compromising efficiency or user-friendliness.
