In case of removing test lead tip insulation CAP, to CAT II 600V (CAT II 450V for Model 25s
Measurement Category III (CAT III) is for measurements performed in the building installation. Examples are
measurements on distribution boards, circuit-breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches,
socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for example,
stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation.
Measurement Category II (CAT II) is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low
voltage installation. Examples are measurements on household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture. To avoid electrical shock
hazard, observe the proper safety precautions when working with voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC rms. These
voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the user. Do not touch test lead tips or the circuit being tested
while power is applied to the circuit being measured. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards of the test leads
during measurement. Inspect test leads and probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal before using the
instrument. If any defects are found, replace them immediately.
