The story of the Chauvin Arnoux company as an inventor and manufacturer of measurement instruments since 1893 is rich in developments and innovations. Today, its products bear witness to and reflect the sociological and technological changes and the industrial innovations which marked the previous century. A fascinating story that explains why and how Chauvin Arnoux’s image and personality evolved... in two colours. Logo on the company’s former main gate t is often said that at the root of knowledge is language, measurement instruments. Beige was also introduced or that the origin of an innovation was an idea,… yet it with the use of varnished wood in the casings, while is the individual, the person, who is really the source black was reserved for the instruments’ dials. Right from Iof knowledge and discoveries. This also applies to the start in 1893, the contrast between black and the electricity, which was not invented in the 19th century, but yellow of varnished wood soon became the norm for the discovered in the 6th century BCE by a Greek philosopher measurement instruments produced by Chauvin Arnoux. and scientist named Thales, the first person to note the electrostatic properties of amber. In a relatively short time, between 1900 and 1936, with the development of new technologies and new techniques From the beginning of the 19th century, there was the for working materials, yellow brass began to be used yellow of amber. Then manufactured goods began to with black Bakelite, eventually spreading to nearly all include the yellow of brass and copper, materials used our instruments. in measurement instruments, either for the casings Already known for its sense of designg and the of galvanometers or for the connections of electrical combination of its originall cocolourslours yyeyellowllloww bbrassrasss aandnd This calibration potentiometer dating from 1900 waswa 1895 reflection used with a standard battery and a galvanometer like galvanometer the one shown above.

In the 1940s, many measurement instruments only used At about the same time, Metrix launched several black or black and the silver-grey of ferrous metals, products with yellow casings and black platens, including sometimes painted. Chauvin Arnoux adapted its original the instruments in its MX 44 series (1988) followed by visual identity to suit the fashions of the time, which also the MX 51 series. corresponded to technical criteria for safety, life-span Over the years, Chauvin Arnoux has developed its visual extension or weight considerations linked to the metal identity across all its product ranges: its multimeters, and the manufacturing process used. wattmeters, megohmmeters and installation testers all bear the company’s colours The 1950s saw the arrival of rubber-like materials, used for the bases of portable instruments, and subsequently One last remark about colours: while yellow is always for the shockproof sheaths made of black neoprene, first seen as the colour of the sun and of certain kings or designed and patented by Metrix® and Chauvin Arnoux emperors in Asia, it is not so widely known that in in 1958. These shockproof sheaths later became widely physics, black is the symbol of a “black body”, meaning used on the handheld instrument market. a system which absorbs all the light it receives. Black and yellow? A historic tandem for Chauvin Arnoux which With the 1970s came plastics technology. This was was the first company to use this pairing for its corporate when Chauvin Arnoux launched worldwide its first visual identity in the early 20th century when it first innovative products made of black and yellow plastic: designed its logo in 1927. the CdA 8 tester in 1979, the CdA 600 multimeter clamp in 1982, followed by the whole range. Some Axel Arnoux earth testers, such as the Terca in 1985 and the Prowatt wattmeters in 1989, also had a yellow casing. The combination of yellow and black for on-site equipment began to spread with its use for safety signage and for identifying hazardous areas on site… This encouraged Chauvin Arnoux to launch the well- known IMEG 500 or ISOL1000 series in Europe and then in the United States with the company’s two colours.
