Safety Information
3
Accuracy
We define measurement tolerances in terms of f.s. (full scale), rdg. (reading) and dgt. (digit) values, with
the following meanings:
To ensure safe operation of measurement instruments, IEC 61010 establishes safety standards for vari-
ous electrical environments, categorized as CAT II to CAT IV, and called measurement categories.
Notation
Marks for individual functions
Indicates the function is enabled in LCR mode.
Indicates the function is enabled in ANALYZER mode.
Indicates the function is enabled in CONTINUOUS mode.

[ ]
Menus, commands, dialogs, buttons in a dialog, and other names on the screen and the
keys are indicated in brackets.
CURSOR
(Bold
character)
Bold characters within the text indicate operating key labels.
Windows
Unless otherwise specified, “Windows” represents Windows 95, 98, Me, Widows NT4.0,
Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Dialogue
Dialogue box represents a Windows dialog box.
f.s.
(maximum display value or
scale length)
The maximum displayable value or scale length. This is usually the name
of the currently selected range.
rdg.
(reading or displayed value)
The value currently being measured and indicated on the measuring in-
strument.
dgt.
(resolution)
The smallest displayable unit on a digital measuring instrument, i.e., the in-
put value that causes the digital display to show a "1" as the least-signifi-
cant digit.
Measurement categories
CAT II
Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to an AC electrical outlet by a power cord (portable
tools, household appliances, etc.) CAT II covers directly measuring electrical outlet receptacles.
CAT III
Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed installations) connected directly to the distribution
panel, and feeders from the distribution panel to outlets.
CAT IV
The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and to the power meter and primary overcurrent
protection device (distribution panel).
Using a measurement instrument in an environment des-
ignated with a higher-numbered category than that for
which the instrument is rated could result in a severe
accident, and must be carefully avoided.
Use of a measurement instrument that is not CAT-rated
in CAT II to CAT IV measurement applications could
result in a severe accident, and must be carefully
avoided.
