Maintenance


Before opening the BENNING CM 2, ensure that it is not
connected to a source of voltage! Electrical hazard!
Any work required on the BENNING CM 2 when it is under voltage must be
done only by a qualified electrician. Special steps must be taken to prevent
accidents.
Before opening the BENNING CM 2, remove it from all sources of voltage as
follows:
- Remove first the black and the red measuring tip from the measurement object.
- Then remove the black and red safety measuring wires from the
BENNING CM 2.
- Move the sliding switch to the position "OFF".
9.1 Making the unit safe
Under certain circumstances, the safety of the BENNING CM 2 can no longer
be guaranteed. This may be the case if:
- there are visible signs of damage on the unit,
- errors occur in measurements,
- the unit has been stored for a long period of time under the wrong
conditions, and
- if the unit has been subjected to rough handling during transport.
In these cases, the BENNING CM 2 must be switched off immediately, removed
from the measuring points and secured to prevent it from being used again.
9.2 Cleaning
Clean the outside of the unit with a clean dry cloth. (Exception: any type of
special cleaning cloth). Never use solvents or abrasives to clean the clamp
meter. Ensure that the battery compartment and the battery contacts have not
been contaminated by electrolyte leakage. If any electrolyte or white deposits
are seen in the battery compartment or battery housing, remove these with a
dry cloth.
