SAFETY TERMS IN THIS MANUAL

This device has been designed and tested to meet the requirements of EN61010-1 (Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use). It is an Installation Category II device intended for operation from a normal single phase supply. The DIO relay controls are rated to 250 V ac CAT I and should not be used in applications that exceed that rating. This Getting Started Guide contains information, warnings and cautions. Use of this equipment in a manner not specified herein may impair the protection provided by the equipment.

Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to MAINS. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS, and specially protected (internal) MAINS derived circuits.

Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation. Examples are measurements on household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.

WWARNING statements identify conditions or practices that could result in personal injury or loss of life.

CAUTION statements identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to equipment.

SYMBOLS MARKED ON EQUIPMENT:
