BENNING CM 10–PV
Please observe the operating manual!
This symbol on the BENNING CM 10-PV means that the BENNING
CM 10-PV complies with the EU directives.
This symbol appears on the display to indicate a discharged battery.
This symbol indicates the “diode-testing” application.
This symbol designates the „continuity test“ field. The buzzer is intended
for acoustic result output.
This symbol marks the range “capacity testing”.
(DC) Direct voltage or current.
(AC) Alternating voltage or current
Ground (voltage against ground)
2. Safety instructions
The instrument is built and tested in accordance with
DIN VDE 0411 Part 1/ EN 61010-1
DIN VDE 0411 Part 2-032/EN 61010-2-032
DIN VDE 0411 Part 2-033/EN 61010-2-033
DIN VDE 0411 Part 031/EN 61010-031
and has left the factory in perfectly safe technical condition.
To preserve this condition and to ensure safe operation of the device, the user
must observe the notes and warnings given in these instructions at all times.
Improper handling and non-observance of the warnings might involve severe
injuries
or
danger to life
.
WARNING! Be extremely careful when working with bare con-
ductors or main line carrier! Contact with live conductors will
cause an electric shock!
The BENNING CM 10-PV must be used in electrical circuits of
overvoltage category III with a conductor for a maximum of
1000 V to earth only or of overvoltage category IV with a con-
ductor for a maximum of 600 V to earth only.
Only use suitable measuring leads for this. With measurements
within measurement category III or measurement category IV,
the projecting conductive part of a contact tip of the measuring
leads must not be longer than 4 mm.
Prior to carrying out measurements within measurement cat-
egory III and measurement category IV, the push-on caps pro-
vided with the set and marked with CAT III and CAT IV must be
pushed onto the contact tips. The purpose of this measure is
user protection.
Please observe that work on live parts and electrical compo-
nents of all kinds is dangerous! Even low voltages of 30 V AC
and 60 V DC may be dangerous to human life!
For voltage measurements on PV systems with system voltages
of up to 1500 V DC, use the BENNING TA PV measuring adapter
and the switch position “PV” of the BENNING CM 10-PV only.
The measuring adapter reduces the voltage applied to the
BENNING CM 10-PV and is to be used exclusively for the
BENNING CM 10-PV!
Electrical danger!
The measuring adapter BENNING TA PV must be used in elec-
trical circuits of overvoltage category II with a conductor for a
maximum of 1000 V AC/ 1500 V DC to earth, overvoltage cat-
egory III with a conductor for a maximum of 1000 V to earth only
or of overvolt age category IV with a conductor for a maximum
of 600 V to earth only.
