Franklin Electric CA031 Waffle Probe Tips (Celltron)
These are replacement test tips for CA093 probes.
For use with the following Celltron Advantage Kits:
The Franklin Electric CA031 Waffle Probe Tips (Celltron) are genuine Franklin Electric replacement tips designed to keep CELLTRON handheld battery tester probe sets performing at their best. These tips are engineered for precision contact, long service life, and reliable performance in demanding battery testing environments. By replacing worn or damaged tips with the Franklin Electric CA031 Waffle Probe Tips (Celltron), technicians can maintain the high level of accuracy required for critical battery maintenance tasks.
Precision Contact Surface
The Franklin Electric CA031 Waffle Probe Tips (Celltron) feature a distinctive textured “waffle” pattern on the contact surface. This pattern increases grip on battery terminals, helping prevent slippage during testing. The design also assists in penetrating light surface oxidation that can build up on battery posts over time. This means the electrical connection remains clean and stable, which is essential for accurate voltage, conductance, and resistance readings.
Maintaining Measurement Accuracy
In battery testing, even small inaccuracies can lead to incorrect maintenance decisions. Over time, probe tips can wear down, accumulate dirt, or develop corrosion, all of which can affect readings. The Franklin Electric CA031 Waffle Probe Tips (Celltron) restore your CELLTRON tester’s measurement accuracy by providing a fresh, clean contact point. This ensures that your testing results remain consistent and reliable across multiple battery systems and environments.
Durable Construction
Each Franklin Electric CA031 Waffle Probe Tip (Celltron) is manufactured from high-conductivity metal to deliver excellent electrical performance. The tips are finished with a corrosion-resistant coating, allowing them to withstand exposure to battery acid vapour, humidity, and temperature changes. Whether testing in a climate-controlled data centre or a dusty utility substation, these tips are built to last.
Easy Replacement Process
Changing to the Franklin Electric CA031 Waffle Probe Tips (Celltron) is straightforward. Using only basic hand tools, technicians can remove worn tips and install new ones in minutes. This process keeps downtime to a minimum, allowing service teams to stay on schedule and complete testing routes efficiently.
Cost-Effective Maintenance
Rather than replacing the entire probe assembly when tips wear out, swapping in the Franklin Electric CA031 Waffle Probe Tips (Celltron) is a cost-effective alternative. This approach extends the life of your probe set, reduces waste, and helps organisations keep maintenance budgets under control while still ensuring optimal test accuracy.
Improved Safety and Ergonomics
Fresh probe tips do not just improve measurement accuracy, they also help ensure safe testing. A secure, non-slip connection reduces the risk of accidental arcing or slipping off the terminal. The waffle texture also means less pressure is required to make a good connection, helping to reduce hand strain during long testing sessions.
Applications
- UPS battery terminal testing in data centres
- Utility and telecom battery maintenance
- Industrial backup power system inspections
- Transportation and rail signalling battery diagnostics
Maintaining Your CELLTRON Test Accuracy
Routine replacement of probe tips is one of the simplest and most effective ways to maintain the accuracy of CELLTRON handheld testers. Worn or damaged tips can introduce electrical resistance, create unstable contact, and give false readings that could mask battery problems or trigger unnecessary replacements. By keeping spare Franklin Electric CA031 Waffle Probe Tips (Celltron) in your kit, you can make quick changes on-site and maintain consistent test quality across every job.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How often should I replace my probe tips?
A. The replacement interval depends on usage frequency and the environments you work in. For heavy field use, it is good practice to inspect tips before each shift and replace them if they show signs of wear, corrosion, or physical damage.
Q2: Are these tips compatible with all CELLTRON models?
A. The Franklin Electric CA031 Waffle Probe Tips (Celltron) are designed for specific CELLTRON probe sets. Check your tester’s accessory guide to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q3: Do the waffle tips improve contact on corroded terminals?
A. Yes. The textured pattern helps break through light oxidation and improves grip, which supports stable, accurate readings.
Q4: Can I install them myself?
A. Yes. With basic tools, most technicians can replace the tips in just a few minutes. Always follow Franklin Electric’s recommended safety and installation guidelines.
Q5: Will replacing only the tips affect my tester’s calibration?
A. No. As long as you are using genuine Franklin Electric replacement tips, your tester’s calibration remains accurate, and your readings will meet the manufacturer’s original performance standards.
