This manual contains information and warnings essential for safe opera-
tion of the instrument and for maintaining it in safe operating condition.
Before using it, be sure to carefully read the following safety precautions.
Safety Symbols
The following symbols in this manual indicate the relative importance of
cautions and warnings.
Safety Information
This instrument is designed to comply with IEC 61010 Safety
Standards, and has been thoroughly tested for safety prior to
shipment. However, mishandling during use could result in injury
or death, as well as damage to the instrument. Using the instru-
ment in a way not described in this manual may negate the pro-
vided safety features.

in the manual before use. We disclaim any responsibility for acci-
dents or injuries not resulting directly from instrument/ defects.
In the manual, the symbol indicates particularly impor-
tant information that the user should read before using
the instrument.
The symbol printed on the instrument indicates that
the user should refer to a corresponding topic in the man-
ual (marked with the symbol) before using the relevant
function.
Indicates DC (Direct Current).
Indicates AC (Alternating Current).
Indicates that incorrect operation presents an
extreme hazard that could result in serious injury or
death to the user.
Indicates that incorrect operation presents a signifi-
cant hazard that could result in serious injury or
death to the user.
Indicates that incorrect operation presents a possi-
bility of injury to the user or damage to the instru-
ment.
Indicates advisory items related to performance or
correct operation of the instrument.

Measurement Categories
The applicable measurement category is determined by the input mod-
ule being used.
To ensure safe operation of measurement instruments, IEC 61010
establishes safety standards for various electrical environments, catego-
rized as CAT II to CAT IV, and called measurement categories.
CAT II : Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to an AC
electrical outlet by a power cord (portable tools, household
appliances, etc.)
CAT II covers directly measuring electrical outlet receptacles.
CAT III : Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed installa-
tions) connected directly to the distribution panel, and feeders
from the distribution panel to outlets.
CAT IV : The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and
to the power meter and primary overcurrent protection device
(distribution panel).
Using a measurement instrument in an environment designated with a
higher-numbered category than that for which the instrument is rated
could result in a severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.
Use of a measurement instrument that is not CAT-rated in CAT II to CAT
IV measurement applications could result in a severe accident, and must
be carefully avoided.
Do not touch high voltage lines with the
sensor or the instrument. They are not
insulated and the application of high volt-
age to this instrument may expose testing
personnel to high voltage that may at
worst lead to electric shock and death.
