CAUTIONS
CAUTIONS identify conditions and actions that could cause DAMAGE to the meter or equipment
under test. Do not expose the meter to extremes in temperature or high humidity.
Disconnect the test leads from the test points before changing the position of the function (rotary)
switch.
Do not expose the meter to extremes in temperature or to high humidity.
Never set the meter to the resistance, diode, capacitance, micro-amp, or amp functions when
measuring the voltage of a power supply circuit; this could result in meter damage and damage to the
equipment under test.

PER IEC1010 OVERVOLTAGE INSTALLATION CATEGORY
OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY I
Equipment of OVERVOLT AGE CATEGORY I is equipment for connection to circuits in which measures are taken to limit the
transient over-voltages to an appropriate low level.
Note – Examples include protected electronic circuits.
OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II
Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II is energy-consuming equipment to be supplied from the fixed installation.
Note – Examples include household, office, and laboratory appliances.
OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III
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
