Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III is equipment in fixed installations.
Note – Examples include switches in the fixed installation and some
equipment for industrial use with permanent connection to the fixed
installation.
OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV
Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV is for use at the origin of the
installation.
Note – Examples include electricity meters and primary over-current
protection equipment
3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with
caution.
The rules listed below must be carefully followed for safe operation.
3.1.
NEVER
apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified
maximum:
Input Protection Limits
Function
Maximum Input
V DC or V AC
600V DC/AC rms
mA AC/ DC
500mA 600V fast acting fuse
A AC/ DC
10A 600V fast acting fuse
Frequency, Resistance, Capacitance,
Diode Test, Continuity
300V DC/ AC rms
Surge Protection: 6kV peak per IEC 61010
3.2.
USE EXTREME CAUTION
when working with high voltages.
3.3.
DO NOT
measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack exceeds
600V above earth ground.
3.4.
NEVER
connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the
function switch is in the current, resistance, or diode mode. Doing so can
damage the meter.
3.5.
ALWAYS
discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect
the power when making resistance or diode tests.
3.6.
ALWAYS
turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before
opening the covers to replace the fuse or batteries.
3.7.
NEVER
operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and
fuse covers are in place and fastened securely.
