Denition of Measurement Categories (CAT)
CAT IV corresponds to measurements performed at the primary electrical
supply (<1000 V).
Example: primary overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units, and meters.
CAT III corresponds to measurements performed in the building installation at
the distribution level.
Example: hardwired equipment in xed installation and circuit breakers.
CAT II corresponds to measurements performed on circuits directly connected
to the electrical distribution system.
Example: measurements on household appliances and portable tools.

2. PRODUCT FEATURES
2.1 DESCRIPTION
The Models DL913 and DL914 are easy-to-use, rugged data loggers that can
be used both indoors and outdoors. Recorded data is stored in the instrument’s
internal memory. This data can then be downloaded to a computer using a
Wi-Fi or USB connection. Then, the data can be analyzed using the Data
Logger Control Panel.
Features include:
■Three (DL913) or four (DL914) 24 inch captive MiniFlex®probes
■Waterproof (IP 67)
■USB for communication and battery charging
■Wi-Fi wireless communication
■1000 V CAT III, 600 V CAT IV
The DL913 and DL914 are powered by two rechargeable NiMH batteries and
