measuring device with an extensive range of measurement
possibilities.

and equipment features:
• Automatic/ manual range selection
• LCD display
• Can also be operated while wearing gloves
• Fold-out stand
• Safety CATIII (600V)
• AC and DCvoltage measurement
• Measurement of direct and alternating currents

Overvoltage protection and measurement category
The power grid is permanently subjected to short-time voltage
peaks, the so-called voltage surge, which can be very low, for
instance when a light switch is actuated, but also very high
when a network operator switches over power lines. The height
of the surge voltage depends on the position within a low-
voltage network in which a device/machine is operated. The
closer this position is to the supply line, the higher is the surge
voltage to be expected. This means that an electricity meter of a
house must be able to absorb a higher surge voltage than a
Wlan router.
For the purpose of simplification, the power grid is divided into
four overvoltage categories. A rated surge voltage is assigned to
overvoltage categories in each case, indicating the voltage
peaks for which a device has to be designed:
Overvoltage
category
Rated surge
voltage
Examples
CAT I 1500V Devices with power adapter:
e.g.: laptops, monitors,
telephones
CAT II 2500 V Devices with cold-device plugs:
e.g.: household appliances,
printers, laboratory equipment,
telephone system
CAT III 4000 V Devices without a plug:
e.g.: sub-distributions, cables,
sockets, CNC machines,
construction cranes, energy
storage systems
CAT IV 6000 V Devices at the feed point:
e.g.: electricity meters, primary
overcurrent protection devices,
main switches
In line with the overvoltage categories there are measurement
categories defining the permissible scope of application of
measurement and testing devices for electrical equipment and
systems in low-voltage networks.
The design of a measurement device determines in which
environments and for which voltages it can be safely used. What
is important in this connection for example is the touchability of
live parts, anti-kink protection guards on the measuring lines or
the insulation. Depending on the design details, the
measurement device can carry out safe measurements up to a
specific voltage in one or several overvoltage categories. The
measurement category is specified on the measurement device
as well as in the operating manual.
The measurement category is indicated including the maximum
voltage height, which can either be 300, 600 or 1000Volt. The
designation CAT III/1000 V for example means that the
measurement device may be used in low-voltage indoor
installation for voltages up to 1000volts.

EN 5
digital multimeter BE49
Often several values are indicated on the device, for instance
CAT III/ 1000 V and CAT IV/600 V. In these cases, different
maximum voltages apply to the stated scopes of application. If
no measurement category is specified, the measurement device
is only considered as safe in measurement category CAT I.

Undefined displays
If measuring inputs are open or touched by hand, this can lead
to undefined displays. This is not a malfunction but a reaction of
the sensitive measuring input to existing interference voltages.
Normally, when there is no high interference level at the
workplace or in case of a short circuit at the measuring input
zero is displayed immediately. Or, if the measuring object is
connected, the exact measured value is displayed. Fluctuations
in the displayed value by some digits are systemic and within
the tolerance.
If the resistance measuring range, the continuity testing range
or the diode test was selected and the measuring input is open,
the OLindication (exceedance of the measuring range) will be
displayed.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE MEASURING PROCESS!
Warning of electrical voltage
Improper handling of the measuring device entails a
risk of electric shock!
Before carrying out voltage measurements, observe the
following:
• Never apply a voltage exceeding the rated nominal voltage
of the measuring device between the connections or
between the connections and earth (see imprint on the
housing).
• Check the measuring tips for damaged insulation and for
continuity. Replace damaged measuring tips.
• Check the insulation of the measuring device sockets.
• Before using the measuring device, check its functionality
by carrying out measurements with a known voltage.
• First connect the measuring tip connected to earth and
afterwards the live measuring tip. When disconnecting the
measuring tips, proceed in reverse order, i.e. disconnect
the live measuring tip first.
• Prior to every voltage measurement make sure that the
measuring device is not set to the current measuring
range.
• If the device indicates an exceedance of the measuring
range(OL) immediately after being connected to the
measuring object, first switch off the circuit at the
measuring object, then immediately remove the measuring
tips from the measuring object.
• Do not switch any motors in the measuring circuit on or off
during a measurement. Voltage peaks caused by a switch-
on or switch-off can damage the measuring device.
