Testing The Battery Condition; Test Probe With Test Key; Voltage (V), Frequency (Hz), Rotary Field (Phase Sequence); Low-Impedance Resistance (Rlow ) With 200 Ma Test Current - Benning IT 105 Bedienungsanleitung

- The BENNING IT 105 switches off automatically after approx. 5 minutes (APO, Auto-Power-Off). It
switches on again, if the rotary switch 1 is switched on from switch position "OFF".
8.1.2

Testing the battery condition

During switch-on and operation, the BENNING IT 105 performs an automatic battery test. Discharged
batteries are indicated by a battery symbol
I flashes, the batteries have to be replaced by new ones immediately (see section 9.3 "Battery replace-
ment").
8.1.3

Test probe with TEST key

The test probe with integrated TEST key can be used instead of the red 4 mm measuring lead. Thus, the
measuring process can be started via the TEST key 4 of the BENNING IT 105 or via the test probe.

8.2 Voltage (V), Frequency (Hz), rotary field (phase sequence)

- Select the desired function (V) A with the rotary switch 1 .
- Connect the measuring lead to the BENNING IT 105 as shown in figures 3, 4, 5 or 7 and apply them
to the test object.
- Voltage measurement starts automatically. There is no need to press the TEST key 4 or the function
keys F1 to F4 3 .
- The main display K shows the voltage potential between the red L/L1 5 and the black N/L3 7 meas-
uring input.
- For alternating voltage (AC), the secondary display J additionally shows the frequency (Hz).
- In a three-phase mains, the phase sequence (rotary field) is indicated additionally. Clockwise phase
sequence (phase 1 before phase 2) is given if the symbol "L1 L2 L3" H is shown and the measuring
inputs are connected to the external conductors (phases) as follows:
Red 5 to L1, green 6 to L2 and black 7 to L3.
Counter-clockwise phase sequence (phase 2 before phase 1) is indicated by the symbol "L1 L3 L2" H.
8.3 Low-impedance resistance (R
Measurements of the protective conductor resistance must be carried out at idle system

parts only.
The protective conductor resistance measurement might be distorted by impedances con-

nected in parallel of additional operating circuits and by transient currents.
If a voltage of > 30 V AC/DC is applied to the test object, a flashing warning symbol
an acoustic signal will warn you of an external voltage being applied. The external voltage

is indicated on the digital display 2 and measurement will be blocked. Make sure that the
circuit is free of voltage and repeat the measurement.
- Select the desired function (R
- The symbols of the function keys F1 A to F4 D are briefly shown on the digital display 2 . You can use
the function keys F1 to F4 3 to make the following settings which will be stored until they are changed
for the next time:
F1
Buzzer (F1):
With the buzzer being enabled, an acoustic signal will be emitted at a measured value of < 20 Ω.
Null balance (F3):
In order to carry out a null balance of the measuring lead resistance, connect the measuring leads with
each other by means of the alligator clips and press the function key F3 3 until the symbol


Measuring lead resistances can be compensated by up to 10 ohms.
AUTO start (F4):
With the AUTO start function being enabled, the continuity test will be started automatically if the resis-
