Voltage Measurement; Current Measurement; Diode Testing - Benning MM 2 Manuel De Instrucciones

- Input terminal for µA/ mA range 
- Input terminal for 20 A range 
Electrical hazard!
Maximum permissible circuit voltage for current measurement

is 500 V! If a safety fuse blows at a voltage above 500 V the
BENNING MM 2 could be damaged. A damaged tester presents
an electrical shock hazard to the user!
8.2.1

Voltage measurement

- Select the appropriate range and voltage type with the rotary switch  of
the BENNING MM 2.
- Connect the black safety test lead to the COM-terminal  of the
BENNING MM 2.
- Connect the red safety test lead to the input terminal for V, Ω,
BENNING MM 2.
- Connect the safety test leads to the circuit measurement points and read
the measured value on the digital display  of the BENNING MM 2.
see Figure 2:
see Figure 3:
8.2.2

Current measurement

- Select the appropriate range and current type with the rotary switch  of
the BENNING MM 2.
- Connect the black safety test lead to the COM-terminal  of the
BENNING MM 2.
- Connect the red safety test lead to the input terminal for the µA/ mA range
 for currents up to 200 mA, or to the input terminal for the 20 A range 
for currents between 200 mA and 20 A of the BENNING MM 2.
- Connect the safety test leads to the circuit measurement points and read
the measured value on the digital display  of the BENNING MM 2.
see Figure 4:
see Figure 5:
8.3 Resistance Measurement
- Select the appropriate range with the rotary switch  of the
BENNING MM 2.
- Connect the black safety test lead to the COM-terminal  of the
BENNING MM 2.
- Connect the red safety test lead to the input terminal for V, Ω,
BENNING MM 2.
- Connect the safety test leads to the circuit measurement points and read
the measured value on the digital display  of the BENNING MM 2.
see Figure 6:

8.4 Diode Testing

- Turn the rotary switch  of the BENNING MM 2 to select the appropriate
range identified by a buzzer and diode symbol.
- Connect the black safety test lead to the COM-terminal  of the
BENNING MM 2.
- Connect the red safety test lead to the input terminal for V, Ω,
BENNING MM 2.
- Connect the safety test leads across the diodes and read the measured
value on the digital display  of the BENNING MM 2.
- For a typical silicone diode tested in the forward-biased direction a voltage
flow between 0,500 V and 0,900 V is displayed. A display showing "000"
indicates a short circuit in the diode, whereas a display showing "1" indi-
cates an open circuit in the diode.
- For a diode tested in the reverse-biased direction the display reads "1". If
the diode is damaged, the display will show "000" or other values.
see Figure 7:
8.5 Continuity Testing with Buzzer
- Turn the rotary switch  of the BENNING MM 2 to select the appropriate
range identified by a buzzer and diode symbol.
- Connect the black safety test lead to the COM-terminal  of the
BENNING MM 2.
- Connect the red safety test lead to the input terminal for V, Ω,
BENNING MM 2.
- Connect the safety test leads to the circuit to be measured. If the circuit
resistance between the COM-terminal  and the input terminal for V, Ω,
,  falls below 50 Ω, then the built-in buzzer in the BENNING MM 2
emits a continuous tone.
