Safety /Cenelec Directives
Measurement Category III
(CAT III)
is for measurements performed in the building
installation. Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit-breakers,
wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the
fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for
example, stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation.
Measurement Category II
(CAT II)
is for measurements performed on circuits
directly connected to the low voltage installation. Examples are measurements
on household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or
moisture. To avoid electrical shock hazard, observe the proper safety precautions when
working with voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC rms. These voltage levels pose a
potential shock hazard to the user. Do not touch test lead tips or the circuit being tested
while power is applied to the circuit being measured. Keep your fingers behind the
finger guards of the test leads during measurement. Inspect test leads and probes for
damaged insulation or exposed metal before using the instrument. If any defects are
found, replace them immediately.
