8. Measuring with the BENNING CM 1‑1/ 1‑2

8.1 Preparing the measurement

Operate and store the BENNING CM 1-1/ 1-2 at the specified storage and op-
erating temperatures only! Do not permanently expose the device to sunlight.
- Check stated nominal voltage and nominal current on the safety measuring
leads. Nominal voltage and current of the enclosed safety measuring leads
comply with the respective values of the BENNING CM 1-1/ 1-2.
- Check insulation of the safety measuring leads. If the insulation is damaged,
the safety measuring leads must be replaced immediately.
- Check the safety measuring leads for continuity. If the conductor in the
safety measuring lead is interrupted, replace the safety measuring leads
immediately.
- Before selecting another function by means of the sliding switch 7 , discon-
nect the safety measuring leads from the measuring point.
- Strong sources of interference in the vicinity of the BENNING CM 1-1/ 1-2
might involve unstable readings and measuring errors.
8.2 Voltage measurement ( BENNING CM 1-2)
Do not exceed the maximum permitted voltage with respect to

earth potential! Electrical danger!
The highest voltage which may be applied to the
- COM jack 9
- jack for V and Ω 8
of the BENNING CM 1-2 against ground is 600 V.
- Select the desired function (V AC/ DC) by means of the sliding switch 7 of
the BENNING CM 1-2. Select the desired function AC or DC by means of
the shift key (V~/ V ).
- Connect the black safety measuring lead to the COM jack 9 of the
BENNING CM 1-2.
- Connect the red safety measuring lead to the jack for V and Ω 8 of the
BENNING CM 1-2.
- Bring the safety measuring leads into contact with the measuring points and
read the measured value on the digital display 1 of the BENNING CM 1-2.

8.3 AC current measurement

8.3.1 Preparin g the measurement
Operate and store the BENNING CM 1-1/ 1-2 at the specified storage and oper-
ating temperatures only. Do not expose the device to permanent sunlight.
- Strong sources of interference in the vicinity of the BENNING CM 1-1/ 1-2
might involve unstable readings and measuring errors.
Do not apply any voltag to the output contacts of the

BENNING CM 1‑1/ 1‑2! Any possibly connected safety measur‑
ing leads have to be removed.
8.3.2 AC current measurement
- Use the sliding switch 7 to select the desired range on the BENNING CM 1-1 or
the desired function (A AC) on the BENNING CM 1-2.
- Operate the opening lever J and clamp the single-wire live conductor cen-
trally by means of the clamp of the BENNING CM 1-1/ 1-2.
- Read the value indicated on the digital display 1 .
See figure 4:
8.4 Resistance measurement and acoustic continuity test
( BENNING CM 1-2)
- Select the desired function ( ) by means of the sliding switch 7 of the
BENNING CM 1-2.
- Connect the black safety measuring lead to the COM jack 9 of the
