Chauvin Arnoux is excited to announce the launch of the CA 6652, an advanced test adapter designed for Type 2 AC electric vehicle charging stations (EVSE). This versatile adapter enables rapid and comprehensive diagnostics of charging stations for both battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).
Designed for effortless deployment, the CA 6652 is ideal for professionals seeking speed, safety, and accuracy in the evolving EV charging infrastructure. Its compact design and comprehensive features make it an essential adapter for installers, inspectors, and maintenance teams/technicians.
Engineered for safe and simplified operation, the CA 6652 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, making it the ideal adapter for on-site inspections, maintenance, and certification testing.
The CA 6652 is capable of providing a quick diagnosis of EVSE charging station operation and has in-built safety features in the event of a fault. When paired with a multifunction installation tester, it supports complete electrical safety testing in compliance with industry standards.
Technicians can simulate the vehicle charging status (CP/Control Pilot) and cable configurations (PP) to cover all conditions defined by the regulatory standards. The fault simulation buttons on the device can further enhance safety, allowing engineers to replicate potential anomalies between the electric vehicle and the charging system, such as cases where the DC voltage to the control signal (CP) is not blocked.
For in-depth analysis, the CA 6652 allows direct access to the CP signal at its terminals and when used alongside the HANDSCOPE II or SCOPIX IV BUS oscilloscopes, engineers can diagnose communication issues between the vehicle and charging station with precision.
