Definition of Measurement Categories
CAT I V: 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.
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.
