CAUTION
●Make sure that the function selector switch is set to an
appropriate position before making measurement.
●Be sure to set the function selector switch to the “OFF”
position after use. When the instrument will not be use for a long
period of time, place it in storage after removing the battery.
This is to avoid damage to the instrument by possible leakage
from the battery.
●Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun, extreme
temperatures or dew fall.
●Placing the instrument in temperatures of 60℃ or higher can
cause the instrument's case to deform and result in operation
failures.
●Never apply voltage to the OUTPUT terminal. the terminal is not
electrically isolated from the internal circuits of the instrument.
○ Measurement categories
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC61010
establishes safety standards for various electrical environments,
categorized as CAT.
Ⅰ to CAT.Ⅳ, and called measurement
categories. Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical
environments with greater momentary energy, so a measuring
instrument designed for CAT.
Ⅲ environments can endure greater
momentary energy than one designed for CAT. Ⅱ.
CAT. Ⅰ : Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC electrical
outlet through a transformer or similar device.
CAT. Ⅱ : Primary electrical circuits of equipment connected to an
AC electrical outlet by a power cord.
CAT. Ⅲ : Primary electrical circuits of the equipment connected
directly to the distribution panel, and feeders from the
distribution panel to outlets.
CAT. Ⅳ :The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance,
and to the power meter and primary over-current
protection device (distribution panel).
