Safety symbols
This symbol can appear next to another symbol, device or connection and
indicates the user must refer to the manual for important safety information.
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.
Indicates the terminal(s) so marked must not be connected to a circuit where
the voltage with respect to earth ground exceeds 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 subject to particularly
hazardous voltages. For maximum safety, the meter and its test leads should
not be handled when these terminals are energized.
Equipment is protected by double or reinforced insulation.
1.2
IEC1010 overvoltage installation categories
