1.1 Safety Information
1.1.1 Safety Instructions
*
Measurement Category (CAT. )
Ⅲ Ⅲ
is measurements
conducted on equipments in buildings.
Attention: for example, measurements conducted on
switchboard, circuit protector, wiring including cables, bus,
junction box, switches, output terminals on a socket in fixed
equipments, on equipments for industrial purposes, and on
other equipments (such as fixed motors permanently
connected with fixed equipments).
*
Measurement Category (CAT. ) is the measurements
Ⅱ Ⅱ
conducted on circuits directly connected to low-voltage
equipments.
Attention: for example, measurements conducted on home
appliances, portable instruments, and similar equipments.
*
Measurement Category
Ⅰ
(
CAT.
Ⅰ
)
is measurements
conducted on circuits which are not directly connected to
the bus.
Attention: for example, measurements conducted on
circuits not directly connected to the bus and on certain
(internally) protective branch circuits of the bus. (for the
latter, the instant overload is varying, therefore, the instant
anti-overload capacity of the equipment should be clearly
labeled.)
*
When using this meter, the user shall comply with all
standard safety regulations related with the following two
aspects:
―Safety regulations on avoiding electric shock
―Safety regulations on avoiding operating instruments
