Definition of Measurement Categories (CAT)
■ CAT IV Measurement category IV corresponds to measurements taken at the source of low-voltage installations.
Example: power feeders, counters and protection devices.
■ CAT III Measurement category III corresponds to measurements on building installations.
Example: distribution panel, circuit-breakers, machines or fixed industrial devices.
■ CAT II
Measurement category II corresponds to measurements taken on circuits directly connected to low-voltage
installations. Example: power supply to domestic electrical appliances and portable tools.
This instrument and its accessories comply with safety standards IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-031, and IEC 61010-2-032 for
voltages of 600V in category IV or 1000V in category III.
Failure to observe the safety instructions may result in electric shock, fire, explosion, and destruction of the instrument
and of the installations.
● The operator and/or the responsible authority must carefully read and clearly understand the various precautions to be
taken in use. Sound knowledge and a keen awareness of electrical hazards are essential when using this instrument.
● If you use this instrument other than as specified, the protection it provides may be compromised, thereby
endangering you.
● Do not use the instrument on networks of which the voltage or category exceeds those mentioned.
● Do not use the instrument if it seems to be damaged, incomplete, or poorly closed.
● Before each use, check the condition of the insulation on the leads, housing, and accessories. Any item of which the
insulation is deteriorated (even partially) must be set aside for repair or scrapping.
● Use only the leads and accessories supplied. Using leads (or accessories) of a lower voltage or category reduces the
voltage or category of the combined instrument + leads (or accessories) to that of the leads (or accessories).
● Use personal protection equipment systematically.
● Keep your hands away from the terminals of the device.
● When handling the leads, test probes, and crocodile clips, keep your fingers behind the physical guard.
● Use only the mains power adaptor and battery pack supplied by the manufacturer. They include specific safety
features.
● Some current sensors must not be placed on or removed from bare conductors at hazardous voltages: refer to the
sensor manual and comply with the handling instructions.
