8. Measuring with the BENNING PV 2
8.1 Preparation for measuring
Operate and store the BENNING PV 2 only at the specied storage and operating tempera tures
conditions. Do not permanently expose the device to sunlight.
- Check rated voltage and rated current details specied on the safety measuring leads.
- Strong sources of interference in the vicinity of the BENNING PV 2 can lead to unstable
readings and measuring errors.
m
Before starting the BENNING PV 2, always check the device, the leads and the
test object for damages.
8.1.1 Switching the BENNING PV 2 ON/ OFF
- Press and hold the keys
R
ISO
4
and
Mode
5
for approx. 2 seconds to switch the BENNING PV 2
on. Acoustic signals conrm that the device is switched on. Press the keys again for approx.
2 seconds to switch the device off.
- After approx. 1 minute, the BENNING PV 2 switches off automatically (APO, Auto Power-
Off). It switches on again when the keys
R
ISO
4
and
Mode
5
are pressed. An acoustic signal
indicates that the device has switched off automatically.
8.1.2 Setting the automatic switch-off time (APO, Auto-Power-Off)
- Switch the BENNING PV 2 off by simultaneously pressing the keys
R
ISO
4
and
Mode
5
.
- Press and hold the
Ω
NULL
-key
6
and simultaneously press the keys
R
ISO
4
and
Mode
5
. Keep
the
Ω
NULL
-key
6
pressed.
- The LC display
1
shows "OFF" in the rst line and the switch-off time (in minutes) in the
second line.
