Measurement Category

The DS1000CA series Digital Oscilloscope can make measurements

in Measurement Category I.

Measurement Category Definitions

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. In the latter case, transient stresses are

variable; for that reason, the transient withstand capability of the

equipment is made known to the user.

WARNING

IEC Measurement Category. The HI and LO input terminals can be

connected to circuit terminals with up to 300 VAC line voltage under

IEC Category I installation conditions. To avoid the danger of

electric shock, do not connect the input terminals to circuits with

greater than 300Vrms line voltage.

Transient overvoltage is also present in circuits that are isolated

from mains. The DS1000CA series Digital Oscilloscopes can safely

withstand up to 500Vpk transient overvoltage. Do not use this

equipment to measure circuits where transient overvoltage could

exceed this value.
