General information on digital current clamp meter
5.1.1
The digital display 6 is designed as a 4 digit liquid-crystal indicator with
14 mm digit height with decimal point. The highest value displayed is
6000.
5.1.2
In case of a range exceedance (overflow), "0L." is displayed.
Attention: no display or warning by complete overload.
5.1.3
The BENNING CM 9-2 can be switched on/off by pressing (2 s) the key
8 . After switching on, the remaining battery capacity is briefly displayed
in %. Press the key 8 again to switch the display illumination on or off.

-
P ress the key for approx. 2 seconds to enable the measuring point
illumination.
5.1.5
The LPF key (low-pass filter) 5 is used for enabling various filters to
suppress high-frequency interfering signals:
Low-pass filter (50 Hz to 60 Hz):
Press the key once to enable a low-pass filter (50 Hz to 60 Hz) with
The low-pass filter (50 Hz to 60 Hz)) suppresses high-frequency in-
terfering signals generated by electrical devices/installations with fre-
quency converters. The limiting frequency is approx. 200 Hz.
Device filter (1 kHz):
Press the key again to enable a device filter (1 kHz) with
shown on the LC display 6 at the same time. The frequency charac-
teristics meet the requirements of EN 61557-16 (VDE 0413-16) and
can be used to measure protective conductor currents and differential
currents of electrical devices. The limiting frequency is approx. 1 kHz.
5.1.6
The HOLD key 9 has two functions:
-
T he measuring result can be stored by pressing the HOLD key
9 . The "HOLD" symbol simultaneously appears on the display 6 .
Press the key again to switch the device back to measuring mode.
-
P ressing the key for approx. 2 seconds enables the MAX/MIN func-
tion and automatically stores the highest and the lowest measured
value. By pressing the key again, the following values are dis-
played: "MAX MIN" displays the current measured value, "MAX"
displays the highest value stored and "MIN" displays the lowest
value stored. Press the key for approx. 2 seconds to switch back to
normal operating mode.
5.1.7
The RANGE key J can be used to change over to the individual man-
ual measuring ranges (6 mA, 60 mA, 600 mA, 6 A, 60 A) and to hide
"AUTO" on the display 6 at the same time. Press the key for approx.
2 seconds to select the automatic range selection ("AUTO" is shown on
the display).
5.1.8
The measuring rate of the BENNING CM 9-2 amounts nominally to 5
measurements per second for the digital display.
5.1.9
The BENNING CM 9-2 switches off automatically after approx. 20
minutes (APO, Auto-Power-Off is activated, if the symbol
shown on the display 6 ). It switches on again when the ON/OFF key
8 is pressed for 2 seconds. Automatic switch-off can be deactivated
by pressing the LPF key 5 and by simultaneously switching on the
B ENNING CM 9-2. The symbol
5.1.10 The BENNING CM 9-2 is supplied by two 1.5 V batteries (IEC LR6/ AA/
mignon).
5.1.11 If the battery voltage drops below the specified operating voltage of the
BENNING CM 9-2, then a battery symbol

5.1.13 Temperature coefficient of the measured value: 0.1 x (stated measuring
