- Remove all connecting cables from the object.
9.1 Securing the instrument
Under certain circumstances safe operation of the BENNING ST 720 is no longer ensured, for
example in the case of:
- Visible damage of the casing.
- Incorrect measurement results.
- Recognisable consequences of prolonged storage under improper conditions.
- Recognisable consequences of extraordinary transportation stress.
In such cases the BENNING ST 720 must be switched off immediately, disconnected from the
measuring points and secured to prevent further utilisation.
9.2 Cleaning
Clean the casing externally with a clean dry cloth (exception: special cleaning wipers). Avoid
using solvents and/ or scouring agents for cleaning the instrument. It is important to make sure
that the battery compartment and battery contacts are not contaminated by leaking electrolyte.
If electrolyte contamination or white deposits are present in the region of the batteries or battery
casing, clean them too with a dry cloth.

9.3 Battery replacement

Before opening the BENNING ST 720, make quite sure that it is voltage free!

Electrical danger!
The BENNING ST 720 is supplied by six 1.5 V batteries/ type AA (IEC LR6).
A battery change (see Figure 9) is required, if the battery symbol appears in the display unit 8 .
Proceed as follows to replace the batteries:
- Switch the BENNING ST 720 off.

9.4 Fuse replacement

Before opening the BENNING ST 720, make quite sure that it is voltage free!

Electrical danger!
The BENNING ST 720 is protected against overload by means of two built-in fuses (16 A, 250 V,
F, D = 5 mm, L = 20 mm) (10019440).
Proceed as follows to replace the fuse (see Figure 9):
- Switch the BENNING ST 720 off.
- Put the BENNING ST 720 face down and unscrew the screw of the battery compartment cover.
- Lift off the battery compartment cover (in the area of the housing slots) from the bottom part
of the battery compartment.
- Laterally lift one side of the defective fuse off the fuse holder by means of a slotted screwdriver.
- Completely remove the defective fuse from the fuse holder.
- Insert the new fuse. Only use fuses of the same nominal current, nominal voltage, nominal
breaking capacity, tripping characteristic and dimensions.
- Lock the battery compartment cover into place on the bottom part and tighten the screw.
See figure 9:
