7 Technical data
At the time of factory adjustment all units are within the typical accuracy values specified in this
document.
Typical accuracy means that 98 % of all units meet the specified values at 23 °C ± 5 °C/73 ºF ± 10 ºF,
after a warm-up time of more than 25 min., and in a frequency range of 45 Hz to 65 Hz or DC.
The typical accuracy values multiplied by 3 are guaranteed at an ambient temperature of
23 ºC ± 5 ºC/73 ºF ± 10 ºF, after a warm-up time more than 25 min., and in a frequency range of
45 Hz to 65 Hz or DC.
Accuracy values indicate that the error is smaller than:
± (value read × reading error [rd] + full scale of range × range error [rg]).
For mains voltages below 190 V AC the system is subject to power restrictions.
OMICRON suggests that you send in your unit for calibration at least once a year.
Technical data are subject to change without notice.

CAT level
The CAT level required depends on the TESTRANO 600 application. All CAT ratings are defined for sea
levels below 2000 m. There are some limitations between 2000 m and 5000 m sea level (see
section 7.4 "Environmental conditions" on page 34).
CAT I is required when the measured voltage is generated by the test set itself. No voltages from other
sources are measured.
CAT II is required when measuring within electrical devices or between mains supply and devices.
CAT III is required when measuring in electrical installations such as control cubicles that are still
connected to the station battery or mains. The electrical installations are protected by a fuse.
