――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Measurement categories (Overvoltage categories) This product conforms to the safety requirements for CAT II (1000V), CATIII (600V) measurement products. To ensure safe operation of measurement product, IEC 61010 establishes safety standards for various electrical environments, categorized as CAT I to CAT IV, and called measurement categories.
Page 55
――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments with greater momentary energy. So a measurement device designed for CAT III environments can endure greater momentary energy than a device designed for CAT II. Using a measurement product in an environment designated with a higher-numbered category than that for which the product is rated could result in a severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.
Before using the product, make sure that the insulation on the test leads is undamaged and that no bare conductors are improperly exposed. Using the product under such conditions could result in electrocution. Replace the test leads with the specified Hioki Model 3851-10. ―――――――――――――――――――――――― Notes on Use...
