lected measurement range is applied for a long time.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the HIOKI Model 9667 Flexible Clamp On
Sensor.
To obtain maximum performance from the product, please read this
manual first, and keep it handy for future reference.
The 9667 Flexible Clamp On Sensor measures large currents of up to
5000 A AC.
The hollow core coil makes the sensor unit highly flexible, allowing it to
be used for clamping in narrow spaces with crowded wiring. This is a
feature not seen in sensors that use conventional cores.
Initial Inspection
When you receive the product, inspect it carefully to ensure that no
damage occurred during shipping. If damage is evident, or if it fails to
operate according to the specifications, contact your dealer or Hioki
representative.
Preliminary Checks
• Before using the product the first time, verify that it operates nor-
mally to ensure that the no damage occurred during storage or ship-
ping. If you find any damage, contact your dealer or Hioki
representative.
• Before using the product, make sure that the insulation on the
cables is undamaged and that no bare conductors are improperly
exposed. Using the product in such conditions could cause an elec-
tric shock, so contact your dealer or Hioki representative for repair.
Maintenance and Service
• To clean the product, wipe it gently with a soft cloth moistened with
water or mild detergent. Never use solvents such as benzene, alco-
hol, acetone, ether, ketones, thinners or gasoline, as they can
deform and discolor the case.
• If the product seems to be malfunctioning, contanct your dealer or
Hioki representative.

product)
Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the
full benefits of the various functions.
Measurement categories
This product complies with CATIII (1000 V) safety requirements.
To ensure safe operation of measurement products, IEC 61010 estab-
lishes safety standards for various electrical environments, catego-
rized as CAT II to CAT IV, and called measurement categories.
CAT II: Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to an AC
electrical outlet by a power cord (portable tools, household appli-
ances, etc.) CAT II covers directly measuring electrical outlet recepta-
cles.
CAT III: Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed installa-
tions) 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 (distri-
bution panel).
Using a measurement product in an environment designated with a
higher-numbered category than that for which the product is rated
could result in a severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.
Use of a measurement instrument that is not CAT-rated in CAT II to
CAT IV measurement applications could result in a severe accident,
and must be carefully avoided.

lected measurement range is applied for a long time.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the HIOKI Model 9667 Flexible Clamp On
Sensor.
To obtain maximum performance from the product, please read this
manual first, and keep it handy for future reference.
The 9667 Flexible Clamp On Sensor measures large currents of up to
5000 A AC.
The hollow core coil makes the sensor unit highly flexible, allowing it to
be used for clamping in narrow spaces with crowded wiring. This is a
feature not seen in sensors that use conventional cores.

Measurement categories
This product complies with CATIII (1000 V) safety requirements.
To ensure safe operation of measurement products, IEC 61010 estab-
lishes safety standards for various electrical environments, catego-
rized as CAT II to CAT IV, and called measurement categories.
CAT II: Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to an AC
electrical outlet by a power cord (portable tools, household appli-
ances, etc.) CAT II covers directly measuring electrical outlet recepta-
cles.
CAT III: Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed installa-
tions) 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 (distri-
bution panel).
Using a measurement product in an environment designated with a
higher-numbered category than that for which the product is rated
could result in a severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.
Use of a measurement instrument that is not CAT-rated in CAT II to
CAT IV measurement applications could result in a severe accident,
and must be carefully avoided.
