Definition of Measurement Categories
CAT IV: Test and measurement circuits
connected to the source of the
building’s low-voltage network.
Examples: Equipment upstream of the
main fuse or building installation cut-off
switch.

Pocket Multimeter 5115 5
CAT III: Test and measurement circuits
connected to parts of the building’s low
voltage network.
Examples: Distribution switchboards,
circuit breakers, cables, busbars,
junction boxes, outlets, motors
permanently connected to the fixed
installation.
CAT II: Test and measurement circuits directly
connected to points of use (power
outlets and other similar points) on the
low voltage network.
Examples: Circuits in network for
household appliances, portable tools,
and similar instruments.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Failure to comply with these safety instructions
can create a risk of electric shock, fire, and
explosion; resulting in destruction of the
instrument, injury to the user, and damage to
the facility. If the instrument is used other than
as specified in this manual, the protection
provided by the instrument may be impaired.
Before using the instrument, make sure it
functions properly by measuring a known
voltage, and check continuity by short
circuiting both test leads.

Do not use the instrument in an explosive
atmosphere or in the presence of flammable
gas or smoke.
Do not use the instrument on electrical
networks with a rated voltage or category
higher than those listed for the instrument.
Be aware of the maximum rated voltages and
currents between terminals and in relation to
ground/earth.
Do not use the instrument if it appears
damaged, incomplete, or improperly closed.
Before each use, check the condition of the
housing and probes. Any instrument on which
the insulation is deteriorated (even partially)
must be set aside for repair or disposal.
Observe all environmental conditions of use.
Do not modify the instrument or replace
components using equivalent parts. Repairs
