Pollution Degree 2 (as defined in IEC 61010–1)

Terminals on this product may have different installation category designations. The 
installation categories are:

CAT IIIe

Distribution–level mains (usually permanently connected). 
Equipment at this level is typically in a fixed industrial location

CAT II

Local–level mains (wall sockets). Equipment at this level 
includes appliances, portable tools, and similar products. 
Equipment is usually cord–connected

CAT I

Secondary (signal level) or battery operated circuits of 
electronic equipment

A measure of the contaminates that could occur in the environment around and within a 
product. Typically the internal environment inside a product is considered to be the same as 
the external. Products should be used only in the environment for which they are rated.

Pollution Degree 1

No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. 
Products in this category are generally encapsulated, 
hermetically sealed, or located in clean rooms.

Pollution Degree 2

Normally only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. 
Occasionally a temporary conductivity that is caused by 
condensation must be expected. This location is a typical 
office/home environment. Temporary condensation occurs only 
when the product is out of service.

Pollution Degree 3

Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution that 
becomes conductive due to condensation. These are sheltered 
locations where neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. 
The area is protected from direct sunshine, rain, or direct wind.

Pollution Degree 4

Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through 
conductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical outdoor locations.
