OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III
This meter meets the IEC 61010-1 (EN61010-1) 3
CATEGORY III. Cat III meters are protected against overvoltage transients in fixed installation at the
distribution level. Examples include switches in the fixed installation and some equipment for
industrial use with permanent connection to the fixed installation.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with caution. The rules listed
below must be carefully followed for safe operation.
1.
NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum:
Function
V DC or V AC
mA DC
A DC
Ohms, Continuity
2.
USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages.
3.
DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack exceeds 600V above earth
ground.
4.
NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the function switch is in the
current, resistance, or diode mode. Doing so can damage the meter.
5.
ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the power when making
resistance or diode tests.
6.
ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the covers to replace
the fuse or battery.
7.
NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery cover is in place and fastened
securely.
