General information

The BENNING ST 710 is intended for electrical safety tests according to DIN VDE 0701-0702,
BGV A3, ÖVE/ ÖNORM E8701 and NEN 3140.
Automatically, the BENNING ST 710 verifies the type of the connected test object and informs
the user in case of incorrect selection of the testing procedure [ 2 ... 4 ]: preset limiting values and
measuring results with "pass/ fail" information make it easier to evaluate the test.
6.

Ambient conditions

- The BENNING ST 710 is intended for making measurements in dry environment.
- Maximum barometric elevation for making measurements: 2000 m,
- Over voltage category/ setting category: IEC 61010-1 → 300 V category II,
- Contamination class: 2,
- Protection class: IP 40 (DIN VDE 0470-1 IEC/ EN 60529)
IP 40 means: Protection against access to dangerous parts and protection against solid
impurities of a diameter > 1 mm, (4 - first index). No protection against water, (0 - second
index).
- EMC: EN 61326-1
- Operating temperatures and relative humidity:
For operating temperatures from 0 °C to 30 °C: relative humidity less than 80 %
For operating temperatures from 31 °C to 40 °C: relative humidity less than 75 %
- Storage temperature: The BENNING ST 710 can be stored at any temperature within the
range of - 25 °C to + 65 °C (relative humidity from 0 to 80 %). The battery should be removed
from the instrument for storage.

Electrical specifications

Note: The measuring accuracy is specified as the sum of
- a relative fraction of the measured value and
- a number of digits (i.e. counting steps of the last digit).
This specified measuring accuracy is valid for temperatures within the range of 18 °C to 28 °C
and relative humidity lower than 80 %.
