- Incorrect measurement results.
- Recognisable consequences of prolonged storage under improper conditions.
- Recognisable consequences of extraordinary transportation stress.
In such cases the BENNING PV 3 must be switched off immediately, disconnected from the measuring
points and secured to prevent further utilisation.

9.3 Cleaning

Clean the casing externally with a clean dry cloth (exception: special cleaning wipers). Avoid using solvents
and/ or scouring agents for cleaning the instrument. It is important to make sure that the battery compart-
ment and battery contacts are not contaminated by leaking electrolyte.
If electrolyte contamination or white deposits are present in the region of the batteries or battery casing,
clean them too with a dry cloth.

9.4 Battery replacement
