Product Overview
The BENNING CM 2-1 is a TRUE RMS digital clamp meter. The instrument is designed for non-contact measurement of AC and DC current as well as other electrical quantities, and is presented as BENNING's product CM 2-1, item no. 044689. citeturn1view0
Functions and Applications
The instrument measures AC and DC current from 10 mA up to 400 A and AC/DC voltage from 100 µV up to 600 V. Additionally, it offers measurement functions for resistance (0.1 Ω–40 MΩ), frequency (0.01 Hz–50 kHz) and capacitance (1 nF–10 mF). These measurements provide an overview of the electrical parameters that the CM 2-1 can determine during inspection and troubleshooting. citeturn1view0
The CM 2-1 operates with the TRUE RMS measurement method, has a stated basic accuracy of 0.5%, and an indication range of 4,000. The jaw opening is 27 mm, which indicates the maximum conductor dimension that can be clamped. The instrument has memory functions (HOLD, MAX/MIN, ZERO) as well as continuity and diode testing. citeturn1view0
Typical Applications
- Measurement of low currents (specified for automotive and photovoltaics in the manufacturer's product description).
- General current and voltage measurement for inspection and troubleshooting (specified by the manufacturer).
These applications are directly mentioned in the manufacturer's product text and describe the typical use cases for the CM 2-1. citeturn1view0
Additional Features
- AutoV function for automatic AC/DC detection and low input impedance (LoZ) to reduce capacitively/inductively induced voltages.
- Low-pass filter (HFR, 800 Hz) for measurements in pulsating motor speed operations and voltage sensor for non-contact phase/cable break signalling (LCD/buzzer).
These functions are specified in the manufacturer's product description and support measurement work with noisy or pulsating signals. citeturn1view0
