General information

5.1 General information on the current clamp multimeter
5.1.1 The digital display 3 is a 3½-digit LC display with a font size of 15 mm
and a decimal point. The highest numerical value to be displayed is
1999.
5.1.2 The polarity indication 3 works automatically. Only a polarity contrary
to the jack definition is indicated with „-".
5.1.3 The range exceedance is indicated by „OL" or „-OL" 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 nominal measuring rate of the BENNING CM 1-3 is 1.5 measure-
ments per second.
5.1.6 The BENNING CM 1-3 is switched off automatically after approx.
10 minutes. It can only be switched on again by switching the rotating
switch off and on again.
5.1.7 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.
5.1.8 The BENNING CM 1-3 is supplied by means of two 1,5 V micro bat-
teries (IEC 6 LR 03).
5.1.9 If the battery voltage falls below the specified operating voltage of the
BENNING CM 1-3, a battery symbol appears on the display.
5.1.10 The battery life is approx. 250 hours (alkaline battery).
5.1.11 Dimensions of the BENNING CM 1-3: (L x W x H) = 190 x 60 x 40 mm
Weight: 265 g
5.1.12 The safety measuring lines are designed in 4 mm plug-in technology.
The enclosed safety measuring lines are explicitly intended for the
nominal voltage and the nominal current of the BENNING CM 1-3. The
measuring tips can be protected by caps and can be clipped onto the
underside of the unit for easier transport and for certain measuring
tasks.
5.1.13 Fork opening: 16 mm

Electrical specifications

Note: The measuring accuracy is specified as the sum of:
- a relative part of the measured value and
- a number of digits (i.e. counting steps of the last digit).
This measuring accuracy applies to temperatures from 23 °C ± 5 °C and a rela-
