Quick answers
What is the CL800's safety (CAT) rating?
Klein Tools rates it CAT IV 600 V. CAT IV covers the service entrance and utility side, CAT III distribution-level circuits such as panels and feeders; the lower of the meter's and the test leads' ratings is the one that applies. See our <a href="/cat-ratings-explained/">CAT ratings guide</a>.
Does the CL800 measure DC current?
Yes: Klein Tools lists a DC current range up to 600 A.
Is the CL800 true-RMS?
Yes, Klein Tools lists it as true-RMS, so readings on non-sinusoidal loads (drives, dimmers, electronic ballasts) are not averaged.
What batteries does the CL800 use?
2 x AAA (dry cells; no tool battery platform).
Does the CL800 come with test leads?
Yes: 41'' (1041.4 mm) Test Leads.
