Safety Information
3
This manual contains information and warnings essential for safe operation of the instrument and
for maintaining it in safe operating condition. Before using it, be sure to carefully read the following
safety precautions.
The following symbols in this manual indicate the relative importance of cautions
and warnings.
Safety Information
This instrument is designed to comply with IEC 61010 Safety Standards, and
has been thoroughly tested for safety prior to shipment. However, mishandling
during use could result in injury or death, as well as damage to the instrument.
However, using the instrument in a way not described in this manual may negate
the provided safety features.
Be certain that you understand the instructions and precautions in the manual
before use. We disclaim any responsibility for accidents or injuries not resulting
directly from instrument defects.
Safety Symbols
In the manual, the symbol indicates particularly important infor-
mation that the user should read before using the instrument.
The symbol printed on the instrument indicates that the user
should refer to a corresponding topic in the manual (marked with the
symbol) before using the relevant function.
Indicates DC (Direct Current).
Indicates AC (Alternating Current).
Indicates a grounding terminal.
Indicates the ON side of the power switch.
Indicates the OFF side of the power switch.
Indicates that incorrect operation presents an extreme hazard that
could result in serious injury or death to the user.
Indicates that incorrect operation presents a significant hazard that
could result in serious injury or death to the user.
Indicates thatincorrect operation presents a possibility of injury to the
user or damage to the instrument.
Indicates advisory items related to performance or correct operation
of the instrument.

Symbols in This Manual
Accuracy We define measurement tolerances in terms of f.s. (full scale) values, with the
following meanings:
f.s. (maximum display value or scale length)
The maximum displayable value or scale length. In this instrument, the maxi-
mum displayable value is the range (V/div) times the number of divisions (20) on
the vertical axis.
Example: For the 1 V/div range, f.s. = 20 V
Symbols for Various Standards
WEEE marking:
This symbol indicates that the electrical and electronic appliance is
put on the EU market after August 13, 2005, and producers of the
Member States are required to display it on the appliance under Arti-
cle 11.2 of Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE).
This symbol indicates that the product conforms to safety regulations
set out by the EC Directive.
Notation
Indicates the prohibited action.
(p. ) Indicates the location of reference information.
Indicates quick references for operation and remedies for troubleshoot-
ing.
*Indicates that descriptive information is provided below.
[ ] Menus, commands, dialogs, buttons in a dialog, and other names on the
screen and the keys are indicated in brackets.
CURSOR
(Bold
characters) Bold characters within the text indicate operating key labels.
Unless otherwise specified, "Windows" represents Windows 2000, Win-
dows XP, or Windows Vista.

Safety Information

This instrument complies with CAT II safety requirements. This instrument’s
input modules comply with CAT I or CAT II safety requirements. To ensure safe
operation of measurement instruments, IEC 60664 establishes safety standards
for various electrical environments, categorized as CAT I to CAT IV, and called
overvoltage categories. These are defined as follows.
CAT I Secondary electrical
circuits connected to
an AC electrical out-
let through a trans-
former or similar
device.
CAT II Primary electrical cir-
cuits 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) con-
nected 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).
Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments with greater
momentary energy. So a measurement device designed for CAT III environ-
ments can endure greater momentary energy than a device designed for CAT II.
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
severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.
Overvoltage Categories (CAT)
The applicable measurement category is determined by the input module being
used. Refer to "17.6 Input Modules Specifications" (p.304).

Operating Precautions
6
Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full benefits of the various functions.
Before using the instrument the first time, verify that it operates normally to
ensure that the no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you find any
damage, contact your dealer or Hioki representative.
Operating temperature and humidity: -10 to 40°C, 20 to 80%RH (non-condensating)
When printing: 0 to 40°C, 20 to 80%RH (non-condensating)
When using a hard disk: 5 to 40°C, 20 to 80%RH (non-condensating)
Temperature and humidity range for guaranteed accuracy: 23 ± 5°C, 20 to
80%RH (non-condensating)
Installing
To prevent overheating, be sure to leave the specified clearances around the unit.
• The instrument should be operated only with the bottom or rear side downwards.
• Vents must not be obstructed.
• Do not install the instrument at a slanted angle.
Operating Precautions
Before Use
Before using the instrument, make sure that the insulation on the connection
cords and connection cords is undamaged and that no bare conductors are
improperly exposed. Using the instrument in such conditions could cause an
electric shock, so contact your dealer or Hioki representative for replacements.
Instrument Installation
Avoid the following locations that could cause an accident or damage to the
instrument.
Exposed to direct
sunlight
Exposed to high tem-
perature
In the presence of cor-
rosive or explosive
gases
Exposed to liquids
Exposed to high
humidity or conden-
sation
Exposed to strong
electromagnetic fields
Near electromagnetic
radiators
Exposed to high lev-
els of particulate dust Subject to vibration
At least 5 cm
All at least 5 cm

Operating Precautions
7
Handling the Instrument
To avoid electric shock, do not remove the instrument's case. The internal com-
ponents of the instrument carry high voltages and may become very hot during
operation.
Never modify the instrument. Only Hioki service engineers should disassemble
or repair the instrument. Failure to observe these precautions may result in fire,
electric shock, or injury.
• To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from physical shock when trans-
porting and handling. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock from drop-
ping.
• Before transporting the instrument, disconnect all cables and remove any CF
card, USB memory stick and recording paper.
Handling the Probes
• Avoid stepping on or pinching cords, which could damage the probe insulation.
• To avoid breaking the cords, do not bend or pull them.
Use only the specified connection cords. Using a non-specified cable may result
in incorrect measurements due to poor connection or other reasons.
Handling the CD
• Always hold the disc by the edges, so as not to make fingerprints on the disc or
scratch the printing.
• Do not wet the disc with volatile alcohol or water, as there is a possibility of the
label printing disappearing.
• To write on the disc label surface, use a spirit-based felt pen. Do not use a ball-
point pen or hard-tipped pen, because there is a danger of scratching the sur-
face and corrupting the data. Do not use adhesive labels.
• Do not expose the disc directly to the sun's rays, or keep it in conditions of high
temperature or humidity, as there is a danger of warping, with consequent loss
of data.
• To remove dirt, dust, or fingerprints from the disc, wipe with a dry cloth, or use
a CD cleaner. Always wipe radially from the inside to the outside, and do no
wipe with circular movements. Never use abrasives or solvent cleaners.
• Hioki shall not be held liable for any problems with a PC system that arises
