9.1 Safety Information
IMPORTANT
Over Voltage Installation Category (CAT) - This Scope Multimeter is rated
as a Category (CAT) 1 device. The maximum rated transient over voltage
impulse is 500 volts, DO NOT exceed the rated transient over voltage.
Risk of electrical shock.
• Read the Safety Information provided for important warnings on the use of
this product
• This product is intended for Measurement Category I (for example,
automotive 12V systems), do not use this product for Measurement
Categories II, III, and IV.
• Measurement Category I is for performing measurements on circuits not
directly connected to MAINS or MAINS circuits (an example of a MAINS
circuit is 120V AC or 240V AC household or industrial electricity), do not
connect this product to MAINS or MAINS circuits.
• Do not apply the Black Ground Lead to test points other than ground/
system return/vehicle chassis.
Electrical shock can cause personal injury, equipment damage, and/or circuit
damage.
9.1.1 Measurement Out of Range Indicator
A group of arrows display when a measurement is out of range for the scale
selected:
•
Arrows pointing UP—measurement over maximum range
•
Arrows pointing DOWN—measurement under minimum range
Voltage measurements also display arrows in place of live values when the voltage
exceeds the input rating of the meter.
