Measuring with the BENNING ST 710

8.1 Preparations for measuring

Operate and store the BENNING ST 710 only at the specified storage and operating tempera-
tures conditions. Do not permanently expose the device to sunlight.
- Check rated voltage and rated current details specified on the safety measuring leads.
- Strong sources of interference in the vicinity of the BENNING ST 710 might lead to unstable
readings and measuring errors.
Before starting the BENNING ST 710, always check the device, the lines and the

test object for damages.

Before starting the test, switch the test object on (mains switch ON).
