lowing safety notes.
Safety Information
Mishandling during use could result in injury or death, as
well as damage to the instrument. Be certain that you
understand the instructions and precautions in the man-
ual before use.
• With regard to the electricity supply, there are risks of
electric shock, heat generation, fire, and arc discharge
due to short circuits. If persons unfamiliar with electric-
ity measuring instrument are to use the instrument,
another person familiar with such instruments must
supervise operations.
•Protective gear

Safety Information
We define measurement tolerances in terms of rdg. (reading)
and dgt. (digit) values, with the following meanings:
rdg. (reading or displayed value)
The value currently being measured and indicated on the
measuring instrument.
rdg. (reading or displayed value)
The smallest displayable unit on a digital measuring instrument,
i.e., the input value that causes the digital display to show a “1”
as the least-significant digit.
This instrument complies with CAT III safety requirements.
To ensure safe operation of measurement instruments, IEC 61010
establishes safety standards for various electrical environments,
categorized as CAT II to CAT IV, and called measurement categories.
Using a measurement
instrument in an
environment designated
with a higher-numbered
category than that for
which the instrument is
rated could result in a
severeaccident,andmust
be carefully avoided.
Use of a measurement
instrument that is not
CAT-rated in CAT II to CAT IVmeasurement applications could result in a
severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.
Accuracy
Measurement categories
CAT II:
Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to an AC
electrical outlet by a power cord (portable tools, household
appliances, etc.)
CAT II covers directly measuring electrical outlet
receptacles.
CAT III: Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed installations) connected directly to the distribution panel,
and feeders from the distribution panel to outlets.
CAT IV: The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and to the power meter and primary overcurrent protection
device (distribution panel).

Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain
the full benefits of the various functions.
Before using the instrument for the first time, verify that it oper-
ates normally to ensure that no damage occurred during storage
or shipping. If you find any damage, contact your authorized
Hioki distributor or reseller.

Operating Precautions
Preliminary Checks
To prevent an electric shock accident, confirm that the
white or red portion (insulation layer) inside the cable is
not exposed. If a color inside the cable is exposed, do not
use the cable.
Setting up the Instrument
Avoid the following locations that could cause an accident or damage to
the instrument.Exposed to direct
sunlight
Exposed to high
temperature
In the presence of
corrosive or explosive
gases
Exposed to water,
oil, other chemicals,
or solvents
Exposed to high
humidity or
condensation
Exposed to strong
electromagnetic fields
Near electromagnetic
radiators
Exposed to high
levels of particulate
dust Near induction heating
systems
(e.g., high-frequency
induction heating
systems and IH cooking
utensils)
Subject to vibration

Operating Precautions
• The maximum rated voltage between input terminals
and ground is 600 V DC/AC (CAT III). Attempting to
measure voltages exceeding 600 V DC/AC with
respect to ground could damage the instrument and
result in personal injury.
• 1000 V or 600 V may be labeled depending on the
supplied test leads, but this is the rating of the test lead
and not the rating performance of this instrument.
Please refer to the Specifications for the rating
performance of this instrument.
• Before attaching to or removing the test lead from the
instrument, please remove the Test Lead from the
tested objected and turn the rotary selector to OFF.
• Test leads should only be connected to the secondary
side of a breaker, so the breaker can prevent an
accident if a short circuit occurs. Connections should
never be made to the primary side of a breaker,
because unrestricted current flow could cause a
serious accident if a short circuit occurs.

• Please only use batteries for electrical supply. Any
other electrical supply may damage the instrument and
tested object and cause electric shock.
• Persons wearing electronic medical devices such as a
pacemaker should not use the 9804-02 Magnetic
Adapter with magnet (option). Such persons should
avoid even proximity to the 9804-02, as it may be
dangerous. Medical device operation could be
compromised, presenting a hazard to human life.
• Do not bring the 9804-02 near magnetic media such as
floppy disks, magnetic cards, pre-paid cards, or mag-
netized tickets. Doing so may corrupt and may render
them unusable. Furthermore, if the 9804-02 is brought
near precision electronic equipment such as comput-
ers, TV screens, or electronic wrist watches, they may
fail.

Operating Precautions
*IP40:
This indicates the degree of protection provided by the enclosure of the
device against use in hazardous locations, entry of solid foreign objects,
and the ingress of water.
4:Protected against access to hazardous parts with wire measuring 1.0
mm in diameter. The equipment inside the enclosure is protected
against entry by solid foreign objects larger than 1.0 mm in diameter.
0:The equipment inside the enclosure is not protected against the harmful
effects of water.
• This instrument is designed for use indoors. It can be
operated at temperatures between -25°C and 65°C (for
IR4053, between 0°C and 50°C) without degrading safety.
• For safety reasons, when taking measurements, only use the
L9787, L9788-11 or optional test lead provided with the instrument.
• To avoid breaking the test lead, do not bend or pull them.
• To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from physical
shock when transporting and handling. Be especially careful
to avoid physical shock from dropping.
• Do not bring the tips of test leads into contact with the control
terminal that is used to connect a test lead with a remote
control switch. Doing so may damage the instrument.
• Do not slant the instrument or place it on top of an uneven
surface. Dropping or knocking down the device can cause
injury or damage to the instrument.
• If the protective functions of the instrument are damaged, either
remove it from service or mark it clearly so that others do not
use it inadvertently.
• To avoid damaging the cables, unplug it by grasping the con-
nector, not the cable.
• Although this instrument is dust resistant, it is not completely
dust- or waterproof. To prevent possible damage, avoid using
in dusty or wet environments.
• The protection rating for the enclosure of this device (based
on EN60529) is *IP40.
The battery indicator flashes when the remaining
battery capacity is low. In this case, measurement
is not possible. Replace the batteries. (p.68)

This instrument is an insulation ohmmeter that shortens work
times associated with insulation testing. It is not designed for
use on manufacturing lines and should not be used in such
applications. For manufacturing line applications, use the
ST5520 Insulation Tester.
Overview Chapter 1
1.1 Product Overview
1.2 Features
High-speed response
Since the instrument delivers dramatically improved
response speeds compared to previous models, it can be
used as a pointer-type device.
Enhanced comparator function
Since the process from the start of measurement to a
PASS/FAIL judgment is extremely fast, the instrument is
suitable for tester continuity check use. The display will turn
red when a FAIL judgment results.
Low variation in measured values
The instrument generates little variation in measured
values when used in a typical measuring environment.
Easy-to-view display
The instrument uses an LCD with a wide viewing angle and
a backlight driven by a high-brightness white LED.

1.2 Features

High-accuracy voltage measurement function
Since the instrument incorporates a DC/AC voltmeter with
the same accuracy as a card tester, there is no need to
switch to a card tester when you need to measure voltage.
User-selectable number of display digits
The instrument’s number of display digits can be changed.
IR4052
PV:measurement function
The PV:measurement allows accurate insulation resis-
tance measurements of a solar panel.
