S a f e t y S t a n d a r d - I E C / E N 6 1 0 1 0 - 2
The iDVM 510 meets the safety standards of EN/UL/CSA 61010-1, 61010-2-030,
61010-2-033 for electronic testing instruments. This meter meets CAT III
1000V, CAT IV 600V installations and a pollution degree of 2. This safety
standard defines four over voltage categories based on the magnitude of
danger from transient impulses. CAT III meters are designed to protect against
transients in fixed-equipment installations at the distribution panel including
“mains” bus, permanently installed loads, feeders, and branch circuits. While
CAT IV meters are designed to protect against transients at “the origin of
installation” utility level and outside environments.

“Warning” and “Caution” Statements
A “Warning” identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause
bodily harm or death.
A “Caution” identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Meter,
the equipment under test, or cause permanent loss of data.
Unsafe Voltage
To alert you to the presence of a potentially hazardous voltage, when the
Meter detects a voltage overload the OL symbol is displayed.
Test Lead Alert
To remind you to check that the test leads are in the correct terminals, a
warning is displayed on the application when you move the rotary switch to
or from the mA or A position.
Warning
Attempting to make a measurement with a test lead in an incorrect
terminal might blow a fuse, damage the Meter, and cause serious personal
injury. Damage to the Meter resulting from this behavior is not covered
under warranty. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
