For safety, you must respect following recommendations :

this instrument is only intended for single phase operation 230VAC +/-
20% / 50Hz with the correct wiring (phase, neutral and earth)

it must never be connected Phase to Phase.

all protective devices (RCCB, GFCI and ELCB) in the circuit to test must
be by-passed ONLY for the duration of the test.
CAT I : CAT I circuits are protected by devices designed to minimize transient
overvoltages at a low level.
E.g.: protected electronic circuits
CAT II : CAT II circuits are domestic or similar equipment power supply circuits
that can include average value transient overvoltages.
E.g.: power supply to domestic appliances and portable tools.
CAT III : CAT III circuits are circuits for power equipment power supplies which
may include high transient overvoltages.
E.g.: machine or industrial apparatus power supply.
CAT IV : CAT IV circuits are circuits that can include very high transient
overvoltages.
E.g.: energy inputs
Meter protected throughout by double insulation
Warning ! Risk of electrical shock
Caution ! Refer to this manual before using the meter
