Pollution Degree Descriptions
A measure of the contaminants that could occur in the environment around
and within a product. Typically the internal environment inside a product is
considered to be the same as the external. Products should be used only in the
environment for which they are rated.
Pollution degree 1. No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs.
Products in this category are generally encapsulated, hermetically sealed, or
located in clean rooms.
Pollution degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs.
Occasionally a temporary conductivity that is caused by condensation must
be expected. This location is a typical office/home environment. Temporary
condensation occurs only when the product is out of service.
Pollution degree 3. Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution that
becomes conductive due to condensation. These are sheltered locations where
neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is protected from
direct sunshine, rain, or direct wind.
Pollution degree 4. Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through
conductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical outdoor locations.
Pollution Degree Rating
Pollution degree 2 (as defined in IEC 61010-1). Rated for indoor, dry location
use only.
IP Rating

CAT I, II, III, IV ) of the probe or the probe accessory, whichever is the lesser of the
two. Refer to the tables on the following pages for the correct accessory to use with
your probe. When using multiple accessories (for example, the extender leads &
hook clips), the lowest accessory/probe ratings apply to all.
To avoid electric shock, keep your fingers behind the finger guard of the probe
accessory and away from the shaded area shown in the accessory illustrations on
the following pages.
To avoid electrical shock or fire, keep the probe body and output cable of the probe
