Device description
See figure 1a, 1b:
The display and operating elements shown in figures 1a and 1b are designated
as follows:
1 Digital display, displaying measured value and range exceedance
2 Polarity indication,
3 Battery indication, appears in case of discharged battery,
4 HOLD key, storage of the displayed measured value,
5 MAX key, storage of the highest measured value,
6 Key (change‑over), for selecting AC voltage/ DC voltage or resistance
measurement/ continuity test
7 Sliding switch, for selecting the measuring function,
8 Jack (positive
9 COM jack, common jack for voltage/ resistance measurements and conti-
nuity test,
J Opening lever, for opening and closing the current clamp,
K Bulge for current clamp, protects against contact with conductor,
L Measuring clamp, for clamping on the single-wire live conductor,
This is what the automatic polarity indication for DC voltage refers to
1)

General information
5.1 General information on the current clamp multimeter
5.1.1
The digital display 1 is a 3½-digit LC display with a font size of 14 mm
and a decimal point. The highest numerical value to be displayed is
2000.
5.1.2
The polarity indication 2 works automatically. Only a polarity contrary
to the jack definition is indicated with "-".
5.1.3
The range exceedance is indicated by " 0L" or "- 0L" and partly by an
acoustic warning.
Attention, no indication and warning in case of overload!
5.1.4
Measured value storage "HOLD": Press the "HOLD" key 4 to store the
measuring result. At the same time, the display shows the "H" symbol.
Press the key again to switch back to the measuring mode.
5.1.5
The MAX key function 5 automatically determines and stores the high-
est measured value. By pressing the key, the following values are dis-
played:
"MAX" shows the highest stored value. The continuous determination of
the MAX value can be stopped or started by pressing the "HOLD" key
4 . Press the "MAX" key to switch back to normal mode.
5.1.6
Press the 6 V~/ V or Ω/
sliding switch position (see indication on the display).
5.1.7
The nominal measuring rate of the BENNING CM 1-1 is 2.5 measure-
ments per second for the digital display. The nominal measuring rate of
the BENNING CM 1-2 is 1.5 measurements per second for the digital
display.
5.1.8
The BENNING CM 1-1/ 1-2 can be switched on or off by means of the
sliding switch 7 . Switched off: position "OFF".
5.1.9
The BENNING CM 1-2 is switched off automatically after approx. 10
minutes (APO, Auto-Power-Off). It is switched on again if a key or the
sliding switch is operated. A buzzer tone indicates that the device is
switched off automatically. The BENNING CM 1-1 is not provided with
an APO function.
5.1.10 Temperature coefficient of the measured value: 0.2 x (stated measuring
accuracy)/ °C < 18 °C or > 28 °C, related to the value for the reference
temperature of 23 °C.
5.1.11
The BENNING CM 1-1 is supplied by means of a 9 V block battery (IEC
6LR61).
The BENNING CM 1-2 is supplied by means of two integrated 1.5 V
micro (AAA) batteries (IEC LR 03).
5.1.12 If the battery voltage falls below the specified operating voltage of the
BENNING CM 1-1/ 1-2, a battery symbol appears on the display.
5.1.13 The battery life is approx. 580 hours for the BENNING CM 1-1 and ap-
prox. 200 hours for the BENNING CM 1-2 (alkaline battery).
5.1.14 Dimensions of the BENNING CM 1-1:
(L x W x H) = 180 x 70 x 42 mm
Weight: 200 g
Dimensions of the BENNING CM 1-2:
(L x W x H) = 190 x 70 x 38 mm
Weight: 225 g
5.1.15 The enclosed safety measuring leads are explicitly intended for the
nominal voltage and the nominal cuurent of the BENNING CM 1-2.
5.1.16 Largest clamp opening: 30 mm
