Category IV (CAT IV): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are meant to be 
connected to the primary power entering a building or other outdoor wiring. 
Do not use this instrument in an electrical environment with a higher category rating than what 
is specified in this manual for this instrument. 
You must ensure that each accessory you use with this instrument has a category rating equal 
to or higher than the instrument's category rating to maintain the instrument's category rating. 
Failure to do so will lower the category rating of the measuring system. 
Electrical Power 
This instrument is intended to be powered from a CATEGORY II mains power environment. The 
mains power should be 120 V RMS or 240 V RMS. Use only the power cord supplied with the 
instrument and ensure it is appropriate for your country of use. 
Ground the Instrument 
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an 
electrical safety ground. This instrument is grounded through the ground conductor of the 
supplied, three-conductor AC line power cable. The power cable must be plugged into an 
approved three-conductor electrical outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the power cable 
meet IEC safety standards. 
Do not alter or defeat the ground connection. Without the safety ground connection, all 
accessible conductive parts (including control knobs) may provide an electric shock. Failure to 
use a properly-grounded approved outlet and the recommended three-conductor AC line 
power cable may result in injury or death. 
Unless otherwise stated, a ground connection on the instrument's front or rear panel is for a 
reference of potential only and is not to be used as a safety ground.
