2. Veiligheidsinligting

Neem altyd die volgende veiligheidsmaatreëls in ag om persoonlike beserings en skade aan die instrument te voorkom:

• Moenie die meter gebruik as dit beskadig lyk of as die isolasie op die toetsdrade gekompromitteer is nie.
• Maak seker dat die korrekte funksie en reeks gekies is voordat metings gemaak word.
• Moenie die maksimum invoerlimiete vir enige funksie oorskry nie.
• Wees versigtig wanneer u met voltagbo 30V AC RMS, 42V piek, of 60V DC, aangesien dit 'n skokgevaar inhou.
• Ontkoppel altyd die krag na die stroombaan en ontlaai alle hoëvolume.tage-kondensators voordat weerstands-, kontinuïteits-, diode- of kapasitansietoetse uitgevoer word.
• Voldoen aan plaaslike en nasionale veiligheidskodes.

4. Opstelling

4.1. Battery Installasie

1. Vind die batteryklepdeksel aan die agterkant van die toestel.
2. Gebruik 'n skroewedraaier om die batterykompartement oop te maak.
3. Insert six (6) AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Plaas die deksel van die batterykompartement terug en maak dit met die skroef vas.

4.2. Aanvanklike aanskakeling

Turn the rotary switch to any measurement function (e.g., V~ for AC Voltage) to power on the device. The display will illuminate, indicating the device is ready for use.

5. Bedryfsinstruksies

The BENNING CM 12 offers a variety of measurement functions. Select the desired function using the rotary switch.

5.1. AC/DC Current Measurement (Clamp Funksie)

1. Draai die draaiskakelaar na die 'A~' (WS-stroom) of 'A=' (GS-stroom) posisie.
2. Druk die clamp trigger to open the jaw.
3. Omsluit 'n enkele geleier met die clamp kaak. Maak seker dat die kaak heeltemal toe is.
4. Lees die huidige waarde op die skerm.
5. For AC+DC True RMS measurements, ensure the appropriate mode is selected if available via the MODE button.

5.2. Deeltage Meting (WS/GS)

1. Insert the red test lead into the 'VΩ' input jack and the black test lead into the 'COM' input jack.
2. Turn the rotary switch to 'V~' (AC Voltage) of 'V=' (GS Voltagen).
3. Koppel die toetsdrade parallel aan die stroombaan of komponent wat getoets word.
4. Lees die voltage waarde op die skerm.

5.3. Resistance and Continuity Measurement

1. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before measurement.
2. Insert test leads as for voltage meting.
3. Turn the rotary switch to 'Ω' (Resistance/Continuity).
4. Verbind die toetsdrade oor die komponent.
5. For continuity, the meter will beep if resistance is below approximately 30Ω - 100Ω.

5.4. Diodetoets

1. Maak seker dat die stroombaan gedeaktiveer is.
2. Insert test leads as for voltage meting.
3. Turn the rotary switch to the 'Diode' symbol.
4. Verbind die rooi draad aan die anode en die swart draad aan die katode van die diode. 'n Voorwaartse voluminiumtage drop (approx. 0.8V) will be displayed. Reverse the leads for an open circuit reading.

5.5. Meting van die instroomstroom

This function measures the initial surge of current when a device (e.g., motor, lamp) is first turned on.

1. Turn the rotary switch to the 'A~' position.
2. Press the 'INRUSH' button (if dedicated) or activate via 'MODE' button.
3. Clamp the meter around the power conductor of the device.
4. Turn on the device to measure the inrush current.

5.6. Power Measurement (W) and Power Factor

The BENNING CM 12 can simultaneously detect current (A) and voltage (V) to calculate active power (W) and power factor in AC/DC networks.

1. Turn the rotary switch to the 'W' (Power) position.
2. Connect the test leads for voltage measurement and clamp the jaw around the current conductor.
3. The display will show active power (W) and power factor.

5.7. Data Logger Function (LOG) and Bluetooth Interface

The device features a data logger capable of storing 10,000 readings with a sampling rate from 1 second to 10 minutes. It also includes a Bluetooth interface for data connection to smartphones or tablets via the "BENNING MM-CM Link" app.

1. Download and install the "BENNING MM-CM Link" app from your device's app store (iOS and Android compatible).
2. Activate Bluetooth on your smartphone/tablet and on the BENNING CM 12 (refer to the device's specific button for Bluetooth activation, usually a dedicated button or a long press of 'MODE').
3. Pair the device with the app.
4. Use the app to configure logging parameters (sampling rate, start/stop logging) and to view/export recorded data.

5.8. Low-Pass Filter (HFR)

The HFR (High-Frequency Rejection) low-pass filter is used for accurate measurements on clocked motor drives or other noisy environments by filtering out high-frequency interference.

• Activate the HFR filter via a dedicated button or by pressing the 'MODE' button in relevant measurement functions (e.g., AC Voltage or Current).
• The display will typically show an indicator when the filter is active.

5.9. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) Measurement

The THD function assesses network quality by measuring the total harmonic distortion of voltage or current waveforms.

• Select the THD function using the rotary switch or 'MODE' button in AC Voltage/Current modes.
• Connect the meter as appropriate for voltage of stroommeting.
• The display will show the THD value.

5.10. Two-Pole Rotary Field Testing

This function is used to determine the phase sequence in three-phase systems.

1. Turn the rotary switch to the 'Rotary Field' symbol (if dedicated) or select via 'MODE' button in a relevant AC voltage funksie.
2. Connect the test leads to two phases of the three-phase system.
3. The display will indicate the phase sequence (e.g., L1-L2, L2-L3).

6. Onderhoud

6.1. Skoonmaak

Vee die omhulsel af met advertensieamp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from any circuits before cleaning.

6.2. Battery vervanging

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries as described in Section 4.1. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
