1.3. FUNCTIONS
The C.A 740N is a Voltage Detector with indicator lights.
It complies with the requirements of standard IEC 61243-3.
The main function of the C.A 740N is to test for the absence of
any voltage. It detects hazardous voltages, meaning voltages
exceeding the ELV (extra low voltage: 50 V
or 120 V
),
ac
dc
even if its batteries are low or missing.
Its other functions are:
Indication of a voltage between 12 and 690 V
or 750 V
,
ac
dc
with indication of the polarity.
Continuity indication.
Indication of the phase position.
The voltages indicated on the C.A 740N are nominal volt-
ages. Make sure that the device will be used on networks at
standardized voltages.
