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. This is usually the name of the currently selected range.
In this instrument, the maximum 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
Accuracy
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 61010 establishes safety standards for vari-
ous electrical environments, categorized as CAT I to CAT IV, and called measurement categories. These
are defined as follows.
CAT I: Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC electrical
outlet through a transformer or similar device.
CAT II: Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to an
AC electrical outlet by a power cord (portable tools,
household appliances, etc.)
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 over-
current protection device (distribution panel).
Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments with greater momentary energy. So a
measurement device designed for CAT III environments 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.
Never use a CAT I measuring instrument in CAT II, III, or IV environments.
The measurement categories comply with the Overvoltage Categories of the IEC60664 Standards.
Measurement categories (Overvoltage categories)
The applicable measurement category is determined by the input module being used. Refer to “Applicable Standards”
in "Chapter 5 Specifications" in the Input Module Guide for the applicable measurement categories.

Operating Precautions
5
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.
• Before using the instrument, make sure that the insulation on the probes 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.
Operating temperature and humidity: 0 to 40°C at 20 to 80% RH (non-conden-
sating)
However, the operating temperature range may depend on the options used.
Temperature and humidity range for guaranteed accuracy:
23±5°C, 20 to 80%RH

• The instrument should be operated only with the bottom or rear side down-
wards.
• Vents must not be obstructed.
At least 50 mm
At least 50 mm spacing
on all sides
When using the optional printer, provide enough space for ejected recording
paper or use the Model 220H Paper Winder (optional recording paper auto
winder).
Handling the Instrument
• Do not allow the instrument to get wet, and do not take measurements
with wet hands. This may cause an electric shock.
• Never modify the instrument. Only Hioki service engineers should disas-
semble 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.
• Use the handle to carry the instrument.
See "Chapter 2 Names and Functions of Parts" (⇒p. 19)
• When the Model 8958 16-Ch Scanner Unit is installed, do not lift up on the
connector section of the unit. The connector section could be damaged.
Handling the Cords and Probes
• Avoid stepping on or pinching cables, which could damage the cable insula-
tion.
• To avoid breaking the cables and probes, do not bend or pull them.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplug-
ging it from the power outlet.
Use only the specified connection cables. Using a non-specified cable may
result in incorrect measurements due to poor connection or other reasons.

Operating Precautions
7
For additional information about input modules, their connections and
measurement precautions, refer to the Input Module Guide.
Before Connecting
Before turning power on
• Before turning the instrument on, make sure the supply voltage matches
that indicated on the its power connector. Connection to an improper
supply voltage may damage the instrument and present an electrical haz-
ard.
• To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifications of
this instrument, connect the power cord only to a 3-contact (two-conduc-
tor + ground) outlet.
Installing and removing input modules
• To avoid electric shock accident, before removing or replacing an input
module, confirm that the instrument is turned off and that the connection
cords are disconnected.
• The mounting screws must be firmly tightened or the input module may
not perform to specifications, or may even fail.
• To avoid the danger of electric shock, never operate the instrument with
an input module removed. To use the instrument after removing an input
module, install a blank panel over the opening of the removed module.
Using an Optional Printer
When the instrument is not to be used for a long time, or when transport-
ing
To avoid straining some parts of the printer, and to prevent dirt adhering to the
print head, set the print head to its lowered position (so that the print head rests
against the print roller).
After storing the printer without use for a long time, inspect the following before
use:
1. Move the head raising lever up and down.
2. Perform test printing (printer check) three or four times.
When printing
• Avoid slow printing as much as possible in hot or humid environments. Other-
wise, printer life may be severely shortened.
• Please use only the specified recording paper. Using non-specified paper may
not only result in faulty printing, but printing may become impossible.
• If the recording paper is skewed on the roller, paper jams may occur. If the
recording paper is skewed on the roller, paper jams may result.
• Printing is not possible when the recording paper is loaded upside-down.
Refer to "3.3 Loading Recording Paper (With a Printer Module Installed)" (⇒p.
42) for printing precautions.

Use the original packing materials when transporting the instrument, if possible.
The optional Model 9723 and 9724 Carrying Cases are available for shipping the
Models 8860 and 8861, respectively.
To avoid accidents in the event of a short circuit, when measuring com-
mercial mains voltage using the Model 8936, 8938, 8956, 8957 or 8959 input
modules, connection should be made only at the secondary side of a
breaker. Never make connections at the primary side of a breaker, as unre-
stricted current flow could cause a serious accident if a short circuit
occurs.
When measuring AC mains voltage, for example, using a power transformer, be
sure to connect the ground terminal of the power transformer to ground.
