GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.1. Precautions and safety measures

1.1.1. Before use

You have just bought a clamp-on leakage meter. Thank
you for your confidence.
This clamp-on meter complies with the IEC 61010 safety
standard for electronic measuring instruments. For your
own safety, and that of the instrument, it is best to follow
the instructions given in this manual.
∗
This instrument can be used for measurements on
circuits in installation category III, in a pollution level
2 environment, with voltages not exceeding 600V
with respect to ground.
∗
Definitions of the installation categories
(cf. IEC publication 61664):
CAT I: CAT I circuits are circuits protected by devices that
limit transient overvoltages to a low level.
Example: protected electronic circuits.
CAT II: CAT II circuits are power supply circuits for
household appliances and similar devices, in which
moderate transient overvoltages are possible.
Example: power supplies of household appliances and
portable tools
CAT III: CAT III circuits are power supply circuits for high-
power devices in which large transient overvoltages are
possible.
Example: power supplies of industrial machines and
devices
CAT IV: CAT IV circuits are circuits in which very large
transient overvoltages are possible.
Example: power feeders
For your safety, use only cords complying with the IEC
61010 standard. Before each use, check that they are in
perfect working condition.
