Denition of Measurement Categories (CAT)
CAT IV Measurement category IV corresponds to measurements taken at the
source of low-voltage installations.
Example: power feeders, counters and protection devices.
CAT III Measurement category III corresponds to measurements on building
installations.
Example: distribution panel, circuit-breakers, machines or xed industrial devices.
CAT II Measurement category II corresponds to measurements taken on cir-
cuits directly connected to low-voltage installations.
Example: power supply to domestic electrical appliances and portable
tools.
The protection assured by the current probe can be compromised if it is used in a
way that is not recommended by the manufacturer.
■ Comply with the rated maximum voltage and current, and the measurement
category. Do not use the current probe on networks where the voltage or
category exceeds those specied.
■ Comply with the conditions of use (e.g. temperature, humidity, altitude, degree
of pollution, location).
■ Do not use the current probe if its housing is open, deteriorated, or incorrectly
reassembled. Before each use, check the integrity of the insulation of the unit,
jaws, clamps, housing, and leads.
■ Do not subject the current probe to water or other liquids.
■ Keep the jaw contacts of the clamp absolutely clean.
■ Use suitable personal protective equipment when hazardous voltages may be
accessible in the installation where the measurement is made.
■ Any repairs must be carried out by accredited skilled personnel.
Upon receiving your shipment, make sure that the contents are consistent with the
packing list. Notify your distributor of any missing items. If the equipment appears
to be damaged, le a claim immediately with the carrier and notify your distributor
at once, giving a detailed description of any damage. Save the damaged packing
container to substantiate your claim.

For AmpFlex® and MiniFlex® Sensors:
■ AmpFlex®: Press simultaneously on both sides of the opening connector.
■ MiniFlex®: Press the opening device to open the exible sensor.
■ Clamp the sensor around the conductor to be tested. For best results, center the
conductor in the jaws of the clamp.
■ Close the sensor by pushing the moving part into the connector until it clicks.
NOTE: For details of the measurement configuration and technical specifications,
refer to the user manual of the instrument the current probe is being used with.
