4.1. Enstalasyon batri

1. Jwenn kouvèti konpatiman batri a sou dèyè aparèy la.
2. Sèvi ak yon tournevis pou louvri lòj batri a.
3. Mete sis (6) pil AAA, asire w polarite a kòrèk jan yo endike anndan konpatiman an.
4. Ranplase kouvèti lòj batri a epi an sekirite li ak vis la.

4.2. Premye Limen

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. Operasyon Enstriksyon

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 Fonksyon)

1. Turn the rotary switch to the 'A~' (AC Current) or 'A=' (DC Current) position.
2. Peze cl laamp deklanche pou louvri machwè a.
3. Enclose a single conductor with the clamp jaw. Ensure the jaw is fully closed.
4. Li valè aktyèl la sou ekran an.
5. For AC+DC True RMS measurements, ensure the appropriate mode is selected if available via the MODE button.

5.2. VòltagMezi (AC/DC)

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) oubyen 'V=' (Volim DCtagak).
3. Konekte fil tès yo an paralèl ak sikwi a oswa konpozan ki anba tès la.
4. Li voltage valè sou ekspozisyon an.

5.3. Resistance and Continuity Measurement

1. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before measurement.
2. Insert test leads as for voltage mezi.
3. Turn the rotary switch to 'Ω' (Resistance/Continuity).
4. Konekte fil tès yo atravè konpozan an.
5. For continuity, the meter will beep if resistance is below approximately 30Ω - 100Ω.

5.4. Dyòd tès

1. Asire w ke sikwi a pa gen enèji.
2. Insert test leads as for voltage mezi.
3. Turn the rotary switch to the 'Diode' symbol.
4. Connect the red lead to the anode and the black lead to the cathode of the diode. A forward voltage drop (approx. 0.8V) will be displayed. Reverse the leads for an open circuit reading.

5.5. Mezi Kouran Entèval

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.
