2. Utilitzeu un tornavís per obrir el compartiment de la bateria.
3. Insert six (6) AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Substituïu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria i fixeu-la amb el cargol.

4.2. Engegada inicial

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. Instruccions de funcionament

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

5.1. Mesura de corrent AC/DC (Clamp funció)

1. Turn the rotary switch to the 'A~' (AC Current) or 'A=' (DC Current) position.
2. Premeu el clamp trigger to open the jaw.
3. Enclose a single conductor with the clamp mandíbula. Assegureu-vos que la mandíbula estigui completament tancada.
4. Llegiu el valor actual a la pantalla.
5. For AC+DC True RMS measurements, ensure the appropriate mode is selected if available via the MODE button.

5.2. VoltagMesura (CA/CC)

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) o 'V=' (Volum de CCtagi).
3. Connecteu els cables de prova en paral·lel al circuit o component que s'està provant.
4. Llegeix el voltage valor a la pantalla.

5.3. Resistance and Continuity Measurement

1. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before measurement.
2. Insert test leads as for voltage mesura.
3. Turn the rotary switch to 'Ω' (Resistance/Continuity).
4. Connecteu els cables de prova a través del component.
5. For continuity, the meter will beep if resistance is below approximately 30Ω - 100Ω.

5.4. Prova de díodes

1. Assegureu-vos que el circuit estigui desenergitzat.
2. Insert test leads as for voltage mesura.
3. Turn the rotary switch to the 'Diode' symbol.
4. Connecteu el cable vermell a l'ànode i el cable negre al càtode del díode. Un voltatge directetage drop (approx. 0.8V) will be displayed. Reverse the leads for an open circuit reading.

5.5. Inrush Current Measurement

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).

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 o mesura de corrent.
• The display will show the THD value.

5.10. Two-Pole Rotary Field Testing
