1. INTRODUCTION

This meter measures AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance, 
Capacitance, Frequency (electrical & electronic), Duty Cycle, Diode Test, 
and Continuity plus Thermocouple Temperature. It features a waterproof, 
rugged design for heavy duty use. Proper use and care of this meter will 
provide many years of reliable service. 

This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or 
operating device indicates that the operator must refer to an 
explanation in the Operating Instructions to avoid personal 
injury or damage to the meter.
This WARNING symbol indicates a potentially hazardous 
situation, which if not avoided, could result in death or 
serious injury.
This CAUTION symbol indicates a potentially hazardous 
situation, which if not avoided, may result in damage to the 
product.
This symbol advises the user that the terminal(s) so marked 
must not be connected to a circuit point at which the voltage 
with respect to earth ground exceeds (in this case)        
1000 VAC or VDC.
This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies 
them as being associated with ranges that may, in normal 
use, be subjected to particularly hazardous voltages. For 
maximum safety, the meter and its test leads should not be 
handled when these terminals are energized.
This symbol indicates that a device is protected throughout 
by double insulation or reinforced insulation.

2. SAFETY SYMBOLS

PER IEC1010 OVERVOLTAGE INSTALLATION CATEGORY 

 

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY I
Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY I is equipment for connection to 
circuits in which measures are taken to limit the transient overvoltages to 
an appropriate low level. 

Note 

– Examples include protected electronic circuits. 

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II 
Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II is energy-consuming 
equipment to be supplied from the fixed installation. 

Note

 – Examples include household, office, and laboratory appliances. 

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III 
Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III is equipment in fixed 
installations.
