CAT II: For measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the electrical distribution system. Examples are measurements on household appliances or portable tools. CAT III: For measurements performed in the building installation at the distri- bution level such as on hardwired equipment in fixed installation and circuit breakers. CAT IV: For measurements performed at the primary electrical supply (<1000V) such as on primary overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units, or meters. Digital Multimeter Model 5231... -

Page 12: Operation
A long press on the button during start-up, while turning the switch to any range, deactivates the Auto-OFF function. The symbol is not displayed. Auto and Manual Range Selection By default, the meter is in auto-range. This is indicated by the AUTO symbol on the display. While on, the instrument will automatically adjust to the correct measurement range when taking the measurement. To change the range selection to Manual, press the button.

Page 13: Non-Contact Voltage (Ncv)
Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) • Turn the rotary switch to the NCV position. • Move the Model 5231 (NCV detection sensor) close to the potentially live conductor(s) (presence of phase). If a network voltage of 90V or greater is present, the back-lighting lights up red, otherwise, it remains off. Voltage Measurement The Model 5231 measures AC voltage at low input impedance (V Z), DC and AC voltages. -
