Operating Precautions
6
*IP54 :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.
5 : Protected against access to hazardous parts with wire measuring 1.0
mm in diameter. Dust-proof type (The penetration of dust cannot be pre-
vented completely, but quantities of dust that may hinder the stated op-
eration of equipment or safety cannot penetrate the enclosure.)
4 : The equipment inside the enclosure is protected against the harmful ef-
fects of spraying water.
• The protection rating for the enclosure of this device (based on
EN60529) is *IP54.
• Although this instrument is designed to resist the ingress of dust and
water, it is not entirely water- or dust-proof, so to avoid shock or dam-
age, do not use it in a wet or dusty environment.
• If used outside the specified environmental ranges for operation (or
storage), the operation of the unit cannot be guaranteed.
• Temperature sensors other than Models LR9601 to LR9604 are not
designed with ingress prevention against water and dust. Do not use it
in an especially dusty environment, nor where it might be splashed
with liquid. This may cause damage.
• This temperature sensor is not drip-proof. Water droplets on the grip
or connector may result in malfunctions.
Avoiding Logger Damage
To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from physical shock when
transporting and handling. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock
from dropping.
HIOKI LR5011B980-04

Operating Precautions
7
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, con-
tact your dealer or Hioki representative.
CD Handling
• Always hold the disc by the edges, so as not to make fingerprints on
the disc or scratch the printing.Never touch the recorded side of the
disc. Do not place the disc directly on anything hard.
• Do not wet the disc with volatile alcohol or water, as there is a possibil-
ity 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 surface and corrupting the data. Do not use adhesive
labels.
• Do not expose the disc directly to the sun's rays, or keep it in condi-
tions 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 from the inside to the outside,
and do no wipe with circular movements. Never use abrasives or sol-
vent cleaners.
• Hioki shall not be held liable for any problems with a computer system
that arises from the use of this CD, or for any problem related to the
purchase of a Hioki product.
Preliminary Checks
Before using the instrument, make sure that the insulation on the
sensor cables 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 rep-
resentative for replacements.

3Install the LR5000 Utility Program on the
computer.
See: "2.3" ( p.21)
4Select the recording interval for the logger
(in this case, 10 minutes).
See: "Recording Interval Setting" ( p.28)
(The setting can be made also from the
LR5000 Utility Program.) ( p.35)
