Clamp Multimeter Benning 44689 — Digital current clamp and multimeter, model 44689

Benning 44689 is a digital clamp multimeter that combines a current-clamp sensor with standard multimeter functions for electrical diagnostics, installation checks and maintenance. The instrument measures AC and DC current without direct contact using the clamp jaw and also performs voltage, resistance and continuity measurements typical for clamp multimeters. Designed for use in residential and industrial environments, it supports routine troubleshooting and verification of electrical circuits.

Advantages

The device provides non-contact current measurement via a compact clamp jaw, reducing the need to disconnect conductors. Its integrated multimeter functions allow measurement of DC and AC voltages, resistance and continuity in a single handheld unit. The Benning design emphasizes clear readouts and practical ergonomics for field use, enabling efficient checks of installations and equipment without carrying multiple instruments.

Suitable for

• Measuring AC and DC current in live conductors without interruption
• Voltage checks on residential and industrial circuits
• Resistance and continuity testing of wiring, fuses and components
• Routine electrical troubleshooting and preventive maintenance

Key specifications

• Clamp-type non-contact current measurement for AC and DC conductors
• Multimeter functions including AC/DC voltage, resistance and continuity
• Handheld form factor with clamp jaw suitable for single-conductor measurement
• Digital display for numeric readout of measured values
• Durable casing and ergonomic design for field use

How to use

Select the appropriate measurement function on the rotary switch, place the clamp jaw around a single conductor for current measurement, or connect test leads for voltage, resistance and continuity checks. Observe the display for measurement results and follow standard safety procedures: ensure the instrument range and category are suitable for the circuit under test, keep fingers behind the protective barriers on probes, and avoid exposing the meter to moisture or extreme temperatures. Power the instrument according to the manufacturer’s instructions and replace batteries as required to maintain reliable readings.

Usage recommendations

Use the clamp jaw around one conductor at a time to avoid inaccurate readings. For precise voltage and resistance measurements, use the correct input jacks and appropriate ranges, and verify continuity only on de-energized circuits where applicable. Store the instrument in a dry environment and perform periodic visual checks of the clamp jaw and insulation for safe operation.
