Safety Information

This Meter complies with the standards IEC61010: in
pollution degree 2, overvoltage category (CAT. II 1000V,
CAT. III 600V) and double insulation.

CAT. II: Local level, appliance, PORTABLE EQUIPMENT
etc., with smaller transient voltage overvoltages than
CAT. III
CAT. III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller
transient overvoltages than CAT. IV

Use the Meter only as specified in this operating manual,
otherwise the protection provided by the Meter may be
impaired.

In this manual, a 

Warning

 identifies conditions and

actions that pose hazards to the user, or may damage
the Meter or the equipment under test.

Note

 identifies the information that user should pay

attention to.

International electrical symbols used on the Meter and
in this Operating Manual are explained on page 8.
