CAT II
CAT III
The measurement category (CAT) rating and voltage rating is determined by a combination of the meter, test probes and any
accessories connected to the meter and test probes. The combination rating is the LOWEST of any individual component.
CAT IV
Connection point to
utility power and
outdoor conductors
- Primary distribution panels
- Overhead or underground lines to detached buildings
- Incoming service entrance from utility
- Outdoor pumps
WARNING:
Operation is limited to CAT II applications when the insulated tips are
removed
from one or both test probes. Refer to Input Limits section of this manual for maximum voltage ratings.

Maintenance
This Multimeter is designed to provide years of dependable service,
if the following care instructions are performed:
1. KEEP THE METER DRY. If it gets wet, wipe it off.
2. USE AND STORE THE METER IN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. Temperature
extremes can shorten the life of the electronic parts and distort or melt
plastic parts.
3. HANDLE THE METER GENTLY AND CAREFULLY. Dropping it can damage the
electronic parts or the case.
4. KEEP THE METER CLEAN. Wipe the case occasionally with a damp cloth.
DO NOT use chemicals, cleaning solvents, or detergents.
5. USE ONLY FRESH BATTERIES OF THE RECOMMENDED SIZE AND TYPE.
Remove old or weak batteries so they do not leak and damage the unit.
6. IF THE METER IS TO BE STORED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, the batteries
should be removed to prevent damage to the unit.
