2. Safetynote
The instrument is built and tested in accordance with
DIN VDE 0411 part 1/ EN 61010 part 1
DIN VDE 0413 part 1, 2 and 4/ EN61557 part 1, 2 and 4 and has left the factory
in perfectly safe technical state. To maintain this state and ensure safe operation
of the appliance tester, the user must observe the notes and warnings given in
these instructions at all times.
The instrument may be used only in electrical circuits in the
overvoltagecategoryIIwithmaximumvoltage1000Vbetween
theconductorandground,orinelectricalcircuitsintheover-
voltage category III with 600 V between the conductor and
ground. Remember that work on electrical components of all

Should it appear that safe operation of the appliance tester is no longer possible,
it should be shut down immediately and secured to prevent it being switched
on accidentally.
It must be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible
- if the instrument or the measuring cables show visible signs of damage, or
- if the appliance tester no longer functions, or
- after long periods of storage under unfavourable conditions, or
- after being subjected to rough transportation.
Inordertoavoiddanger,
- donottouchthebareprodtipsofthemeasuringcables
- plug the measuring cables into the correspondingly
designated measuring sockets on the BENNINGIT100
(seeFig.2:Inputsockets)
- when disconnecting the measuring circuit always first
disconnect the voltage carrying measuring cable (phase
