Degree 2 per IEC 61010 Second Edition and 664 respectively.
CAUTION This instrument has autoranging line voltage input; be sure the supply
voltage is within the specified range.
CAUTION Ventilation Requirements: When installing the instrument in a cabinet, the
convection into and out of the instrument must not be restricted. The ambient
temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the maximum operating
temperature of the instrument by 4 °C for every 100 watts dissipated in the
cabinet. If the total power dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800 watts,
forced convection must be used.
