Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on
circuits not directly connected to the electrical distribution system
referred to as
MAINS
voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live
electrical supply system that powers equipment. This category is
for measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary
circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels, special
equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered
by regulated low-voltage sources, and electronics.
Caution
Do not connect the NI 9210 with mini-TC to
signals or use for measurements within Measurement
Categories II, III, or IV.
Note
Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O are
equivalent. These test and measurement circuits are for
other circuits not intended for direct connection to the
MAINS building installations of Measurement
Categories CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV.
