between human contact and working voltages higher than
250 V

rms

.

Operate the [c]FP-DO-403 only at or below Pollution
Degree 2. Pollution Degree 2 means that only nonconductive
pollution occurs in most cases. Occasionally, however, a
temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be
expected.

Operate the [c]FP-DO-403 at or below Measurement
Category II. Measurement Category II is for measurements
performed on circuits directly connected to the low-voltage
installation. This category refers to local-level distribution,
such as that provided by a standard wall outlet.
