Product presentation

All the parameters simultaneously Designed for test and maintenance departments working in industrial or administrative buildings, the Qualistar+ CA 8331 can be used to obtain a snapshot of the main features characterizing the quality of the electrical network. Easy to handle and particularly compact, this instrument also offers a large number of calculated values and several processing functions. The CA 8331 is equipped with 3 voltage measurement channels and 3 current measurement channels. When the current sensors are connected to the C.A 8331, it recognizes them automatically. It also offers the possibility of mixing different types of current sensors and configuration of the ratios allows direct reading of the measurements. The Qualistar+ is specially designed for work in the field:

The multiple functions of the Qualistar+ CA 8331 make it particularly versatile. It is suitable for applications up to 1,000 V in CAT III and 600 V in CAT IV. The measurements obtained with the Qualistar models can be processed using two software tools: PAT2 delivered as standard and Dataview®, available as an option.

Reeling Box This practical magnetized winder equipped with the MultifFIX system allows you to adjust the length of your cables.

The PAT software allows you to control single-phase wattmeters and energy analysers, as well as clamp meters.

The PAT software is a tool that enables you to:

  • Configure the devices,
  • Download and view data stored in memory,
  • Take instantaneous readings,
  • Display data in tabular or graphical form,
  • Export this measurement data to DataView (*.dvb files) or to a spreadsheet.

For the CA 8220/8230, CA 8332/32B/34/34B, CA 8335/8435 (embedded software versions v3.x) and F407/F607, use PAT. The main updates to PAT are:

  • Various bug fixes.

The PAT 2 software enables you to control single-phase wattmeters and energy analysers, as well as clamp meters.

The PAT 2 software is a tool that enables you to:

  • Configure the devices,
  • Download and view data stored in memory,
  • Take instantaneous readings,
  • Display data in tabular or graphical form,
  • Export this measurement data to DataView (*.dvb files) or to a spreadsheet.

For the CA 8331/33/36, CA 8436 and CA 8335 (embedded software version v4.x), use PAT 2. The main updates in PAT 2 are:

  • Addition of a Bulgarian translation
  • Various bug fixes.
The Qualistar+ & CA 8230 Recording Duration Calculator
Available in French and English, this tool allows you to simulate the possible recording duration of QualistarPlus devices.
The user selects the device and the parameters they wish to record, as well as the acquisition interval.
The possible recording duration, based on an empty memory, and the end date are automatically calculated and displayed.

The devices covered are:

  • CA 8336
  • CA 8436
  • CA 8333
  • CA 8331
  • CA 8335

==> From version v4.x onwards

  • CA 8230

Some information on the devices’ other storage capacities (alarms, snapshots, etc.) is also displayed.

Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4, which is required to run the Trend Duration Calculator.
