Typical Applications

Category

Rating

Single phase receptacles 

and connected loads 

Three phase circuits and 

single phase lighting 

circuits in commercial 

buildings 

- Household appliances, power tools

- Outlets more than 30ft (10m) from a CAT III source

- Outlets more than 60ft (20m) from a CAT IV source
- Equipment in fixed installations such as 3-phase 

  motors, switchgear and distribution panels 

- Lighting circuits in commercial buildings

- Feeder lines in industrial plants

- Any device or branch circuit that is close to a CAT III source

CAT II

CAT III

The measurement category (CAT) rating and voltage rating is determined by a combination of the meter, test probes and any

accessories connected to the meter and test probes. The combination rating is the LOWEST of any individual component.

CAT IV

Connection point to

utility power and

outdoor conductors 

- Primary distribution panels

- Overhead or underground lines to detached buildings

- Incoming service entrance from utility

- Outdoor pumps

WARNING: 

                                   Operation is limited to CAT II applications when the insulated tips are 

removed

from one or both test probes. Refer to Input Limits section of this manual for maximum voltage ratings.

Maintenance

This Multimeter is designed to provide years of dependable service,

if the following care instructions are performed:
1. KEEP THE METER DRY. If it gets wet, wipe it off.
2. USE AND STORE THE METER IN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. Temperature

    extremes can shorten the life of the electronic parts and distort or melt

    plastic parts.
3. HANDLE THE METER GENTLY AND CAREFULLY. Dropping it can damage the

    electronic parts or the case.
4. KEEP THE METER CLEAN. Wipe the case occasionally with a damp cloth.

    DO NOT use chemicals, cleaning solvents, or detergents.
5. USE ONLY FRESH BATTERIES OF THE RECOMMENDED SIZE AND TYPE.

    Remove old or weak batteries so they do not leak and damage the unit.
6. IF THE METER IS TO BE STORED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, the batteries

    should be removed to prevent damage to the unit.
