5. Opsætning
5.1 Batteriinstallation
The BENNING CM 1-2 requires 2 AAA alkaline batteries for operation.
- Find batteridækslet på bagsiden af multimeteret.
- Use a screwdriver (if necessary) to open the battery compartment.
- Isæt de 2 AAA-batterier, og sørg for at polerne (+ og -) vender korrekt som angivet inde i batterirummet.
- Sæt batterirummets dæksel på igen og fastgør det.
Multimeteret er nu klar til brug.
6. Betjeningsvejledning
Familiarize yourself with the function dial and input terminals before proceeding with measurements.
6.1 Tænd/sluk
- To power on, rotate the central sliding switch from "OFF" to the desired measurement function (e.g., A~, V~, V=, Ω))).
- To power off, rotate the sliding switch back to the "OFF" position.
- The device features an automatic shut-off function to conserve battery life if left idle for a period.
6.2 Measuring AC Current (A~)
Brug clamp jaws to measure AC current without breaking the circuit.
- Rotate the sliding switch to the "A~" position.
- Åbn clamp jaws by pressing the lever on the side.
- Inkluder kun én leder af kredsløbet inden for clamp kæber. Sørg for, at kæberne er helt lukkede.
- Read the AC current value displayed on the LC screen.

6.3 Måling af AC/DC Voltage (V~ / V=)
Brug testledningerne til volumtage målinger.
- Insert the black test lead into the "COM" input terminal.
- Insert the red test lead into the "V-Ω" input terminal.
- Rotate the sliding switch to the "V~" for AC voltage eller "V=" for DC-volumentage.
- Tilslut testledningerne parallelt på tværs af det kredsløb eller den komponent, der skal måles.
- Læs bindtage value displayed on the LC screen.
6.4 Measuring Resistance (Ω) and Continuity Test ()))
Use the test leads for resistance and continuity measurements.
- Ensure the circuit or component is de-energized before measuring resistance or continuity.
- Insert the black test lead into the "COM" input terminal.
- Insert the red test lead into the "V-Ω" input terminal.
- Rotate the sliding switch to the "Ω)))" position.
- For resistance: Connect the test leads across the component. Read the resistance value.
- For continuity: Connect the test leads across the circuit path. A continuous beep indicates continuity (low resistance).
6.5 HOLD-funktion
The HOLD function allows you to freeze the current reading on the display.
- While a measurement is being taken, press the "HOLD" button. The displayed value will be frozen.
- Press the "HOLD" button again to release the reading and return to live measurement.
7. Vedligeholdelse
7.1 Rengøring
For at rengøre multimeteret skal du tørre huset af med enamp en klud og et mildt rengøringsmiddel. Brug ikke slibemidler eller opløsningsmidler. Sørg for, at enheden er slukket og frakoblet alle kredsløb, før den rengøres.
7.2 Udskiftning af batteri
Når batteriet undervoltage indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries immediately to ensure accurate measurements. Refer to Section 5.1 for battery installation instructions. Always use new AAA alkaline batteries.
7.3 Opbevaring
If the multimeter is not to be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage to the device. Store the multimeter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
8. Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Multimeteret tænder ikke. | Døde eller forkert installerede batterier. | Kontroller batteripolariteten, eller udskift batterierne. |
| Upræcise aflæsninger. | Low battery; incorrect function selected; external interference. | Replace batteries; ensure correct function is selected; move away from strong electromagnetic fields. |
| No reading when measuring current. | Clamp jaws not fully closed; multiple conductors inside jaws; AC current not present. | Ensure jaws are fully closed around a single conductor; verify AC current is present. |
| Ingen kontinuitetsbip. | Circuit is open; test leads are faulty. | Check circuit for breaks; test leads for continuity. |
Hvis problemet fortsætter efter at have forsøgt disse løsninger, skal du kontakte kundesupport.
