Operating Precautions
6
Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full ben-
efits of the various functions.
Operating temperature and humidity: -20 to70°C (-4.0 to 158.0°F), 80%RH or less
(non-condensating)
Storage temperature and humidity : -20 to70°C (-4.0 to 158.0°F), 80%RH or less
(non-condensating)
*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.Åj
4 : The equipment inside the enclosure is protected against the harmful ef-
fects of water splashed against the enclosure from any direction.
Operating Precautions
Installation Precautions
Avoid the following locations that could cause an accident or damage to the logger.
Exposed to direct
sunlight
Exposed to high tem-
perature
In the presence of
corrosive or explosive
gases
Exposed to oil, other
chemicals, or solvents
Exposed to high
humidity or condensa-
tion
Exposed to strong
electromagnetic
fields
Near electromagnetic
radiators
Subject to vibration
Near induction heat-
ing systems
(e.g., high-frequency
induction heating sys-
tems and IH cooking
utensils)
• The protection rating for the enclosure of this device (based on
EN60529) is *IP54.
• Although this logger 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.
Avoiding Logger Damage
To avoid damage to the logger, protect it from physical shock when
transporting and handling. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock
from dropping.
HIOKI LR5041B980-05

Operating Precautions
7
Before using the logger 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.
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 logger, make sure that the insulation on the con-
nection cables is undamaged and that no bare conductors are
improperly exposed. Using the logger in such conditions could
cause an electric shock, so contact your dealer or Hioki represen-
tative for replacements.

Measurement Preparation to Data Analysis
8
The steps from measurement preparation to data analysis are illustrated with a typ-
ical measurement example.
Example Case: Record a factory flow sensor output signal (1-5 V) at one-minute
intervals for one month, and store the data on a computer.
Quantities in parentheses ( ).

3Install the LR5000 Utility Program on the
computer.
See: "2.3" (p.23)
4Select the recording interval for the logger
(in this case, 1 minute).
See: "Recording Interval Setting" (p.31)
(The setting can be made also from the
LR5000 Utility Program.) (p.39)
5Set the logger to the correct date and time
(in this case, 15 May 2010, 13:00).
