This Meter complies with the standards IEC61010: in
pollution degree 2, overvoltage category (CAT. III 1000V,
CAT. IV 600V) and double insulation.

CAT. III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller
transient overvoltages than CAT. IV

CAT IV: Primary supply level, overhead lines, cable
systems etc.

Use the Meter only as specified in this operating manual,
otherwise the protection provided by the Meter may be
impaired.

In this manual, a

 Warning

 identifies conditions and

actions that pose hazards to the user, or may damage
the Meter or the equipment under test.

Note

 identifies the information that user should pay

attention on.

International electrical symbols used on the Meter and
in this Operating Manual are explained on page 8.
