Measurement Category
WARNING
Do not connect the product to signals or use for
measurements within Measurement Categories II,
III, or IV, or for measurements on MAINs circuits or
on circuits derived from Overvoltage Category II,
III, or IV which may have transient overvoltages
above what the product can withstand. The
product must not be connected to circuits that
have a maximum voltage above the continuous
working voltage, relative to earth or to other
channels, or this could damage and defeat the
insulation. The product can only withstand
transients up to the transient overvoltage rating
without breakdown or damage to the insulation.
An analysis of the working voltages, loop
impedances, temporary overvoltages, and
transient overvoltages in the system must be
conducted prior to making measurements.
MISE EN GARDE
Ne pas connecter le produit à des signaux dans
les catégories de mesure II, III ou IV et ne pas
l'utiliser pour des mesures dans ces catégories, ou
des mesures sur secteur ou sur des circuits
dérivés de surtensions de catégorie II, III ou IV
pouvant présenter des surtensions transitoires
supérieures à ce que le produit peut supporter. Le
produit ne doit pas être raccordé à des circuits
ayant une tension maximale supérieure à la
tension de fonctionnement continu, par rapport à
la terre ou à d'autres voies, sous peine
d'endommager et de compromettre l'isolation. Le
produit peut tomber en panne et son isolation
risque d'être endommagée si les tensions

transitoires dépassent la surtension transitoire
nominale. Une analyse des tensions de
fonctionnement, des impédances de boucle, des
surtensions temporaires et des surtensions
transitoires dans le système doit être eectuée
avant de procéder à des mesures.
Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on
circuits not directly connected to the electrical distribution
system referred to as MAINS voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live
electrical supply system that powers equipment. This
category is for measurements of voltages from specially
protected secondary circuits. Such voltage measurements
include signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy parts
of equipment, circuits powered by regulated low-voltage
sources, and electronics.
NOTE
Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O are
equivalent. These test and measurement circuits
are for other circuits not intended for direct
connection to the MAINS building installations of
Measurement Categories CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV.
