Only the voltage potentials between the individual connections L, N and PE are
measured. The measurement does not provide any information on the proper
installation of the shock-proof socket. There will be no warning in case of a
dangerous contact voltage of the PE conductor!

Maintenance
Before opening the BENNING ST 710, make quite sure that it is voltage free!
Electrical danger!
Work on the opened BENNING ST 710 under voltage may be carried out only by skilled
electricians with special precautions for the prevention of accidents.
Make the BENNING ST 710 voltage free as follows before opening the instrument:
-
Switch the tester off.
-
Remove all connecting cables from the object.
9.1 Securing the instrument
Under certain circumstances safe operation of the BENNING ST 710 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 710 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 change
Before opening the BENNING ST 710, make quite sure that it is voltage free!
Electrical danger!
The BENNING ST 710 is supplied by six 1.5 V batteries/ type AA (IEC LR6).
A battery change (see Figure 7) is required, if the battery symbol appears in the display unit 5 .
Proceed as follows to replace the batteries:
-
Switch the BENNING ST 710 off.
-
Put the BENNING ST 710 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.
-
Remove the discharged batteries from the battery compartment.
-
Then, insert the batteries into the battery compartment at the provided places (please
observe correct polarity of the batteries).
-
Lock the battery compartment cover into place on the bottom part and tighten the screw.
See figure 7:
Battery replacement
Make your contribution to environmental protection! Do not dispose of
discharged batteries in the household garbage. Instead, take them to a
collecting point for discharged batteries and special waste material. Please
inform yourself in your community.
