Definition of measurement categories:
Measurement category IV corresponds to measurements taken at the source of low-voltage installations.
Example: power feeders, counters and protection devices.
Measurement category III corresponds to measurements on building installations.
Example: distribution panel, circuit-breakers, machines or fixed industrial devices.
Measurement category II corresponds to measurements taken on circuits directly connected to low-voltage installations.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
This instrument and its accessories comply with safety standards EN61010-1, EN61010-031, and EN61010-2-032, at voltages
that depend on the accessories (600V CAT III with respect to earth whatever the accessory) at an altitude of less than 2,000m,
indoors, with a degree of pollution 2.
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 your instrument on networks of which the voltage or category exceeds those stated.
Do not use the instrument if it seems to be damaged, incomplete, or poorly close.
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. The use of leads (or accessories) of a lower voltage rating or category limits
the use of the combined instrument + leads (or accessories) to the lowest category and service voltage.
Use personal protection equipment systematically.
When handling the leads, test probes, and crocodile clips, keep your fingers behind the physical guard.
All troubleshooting and metrological checks must be done by competent, accredited personnel.
