Measurement categories (Overvoltage categories)
This instrument complies with CAT III safety requirements.
To ensure safe operation of measurement instruments, IEC 61010
establishes safety standards for various electrical environments,
categorized as CAT I to CAT IV, and called measurement catego-
ries. These are defined as follows.
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 envi-
ronments.
The measurement categories comply with the Overvoltage Catego-
ries of the IEC60664 Standards.
CAT I Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC elec-
trical 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 out-
lets.
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).

Connect the clamp-on sensors or voltage cords to the instru-
ment first, and then to the active lines to be measured.
Observe the following to avoid electric shock and short cir-
cuits.
• To avoid short circuits and potentially life-threatening haz-
ards, never attach the clamp to a circuit that operates at
more than the maximum rated voltage to earth (1000 VAC:
9667, 600 VAC: 9661, 9669, 300 VAC: 9660, 9694, 9695-02,
9695-03, 9657-10, 9675), or over bare conductors.
• Clamp sensor and voltage cable should only be connected
to the secondary side of a breaker, so the breaker can pre-
vent an accident if a short circuit occurs. Connections
should never be made to the primary side of a breaker,
because unrestricted current flow could cause a serious
accident if a short circuit occurs.
• Do not allow the voltage cable clips to touch two wires at
the same time. Never touch the edge of the metal clips.
• Use only the supplied 9438-02 VOLTAGE CORD to connect
the product input terminals to the circuit to be tested.
• When the clamp sensor is opened, do not allow the metal
part of the clamp to touch any exposed metal, or to short
between two lines, and do not use over bare conductors.
Using the clamp-on sensors and voltage
• Be careful when handling the cords, since the conductor
being measured may become very hot.
• To avoid electrocution, turn off the power to all devices
before plugging or unplugging any of the interface connec-
tors.
Handling the cords

Usage Notes
10 Quick Start Manual
• To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the cord,
when unplugging the cord or AC adapter from the power outlet.
• To avoid damaging the voltage cords or clamp sensor cables, do
not bend or pull near their ends.
• Avoid stepping on or pinching the cable, which could damage
the cable insulation.
• Keep the cables well away from heat sources, as bare conduc-
tors could be exposed if the insulation melts.
• When disconnecting the BNC connector, be sure to release the
lock before pulling off the connector. Forcibly pulling the connec-
tor without releasing the lock, or pulling on the cable, can dam-
age the connector.
• Failure to fasten the connectors properly may result is sub-spec-
ification performance or damage to the equipment.

• Note that the product may be damaged if current or voltage
exceeding the selected measurement range is applied for a long
time
• When the power is turned off, do not apply voltage or current to
the voltage input terminals or clamp sensor. Doing so may dam-
age the product.
• To prevent damage to the instrument and sensor, never connect
or disconnect a sensor while the power is on, or while the sensor
is clamped around a conductor.
• When the voltage or current for the power line being measured
exceeds the maximum rated input for this device, use an exter-
nal PT or CT.
• When using an external PT or CT, make sure you use a device
with a minimal phase difference. By setting the PT or CT ratio,
you can read measurement values directly.
Using Potential Transformer (PT or VT) and
Current Transformer (CT)
• To ensure measurements are precise, warm up the device for
at least 30 minutes after plugging it in.
• This device is designed to measure commercial power lines
with a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. It cannot measure power lines
of other frequencies or power lines where the waveforms are
controlled using an inverter.
• This device cannot measure power lines with superposed
direct current.
• This device uses algorithms to measure values for input volt-
age and current waveforms using (see the specifications). On
devices using different operation principles or algorithms differ,
differences in measurement values may result.
• When the display value for voltage, current, active power, reac-
tive power, apparent power, or the power factor is less than

Overview
1.1 Product Overview 13
The 3196 POWER QUALITY ANALYZER detects power line
anomalities and analyzes power line quality.
Correctly analyze abnormal phenomena
Analysis can be performed by correlating measurement items with
particular standard characteristics to ascertain the causes of power
line anomalies.
Continuous long-term monitoring and recording
Power line anomalies often occur intermittently, so they must be
captured when an anomaly occurs, along with its type and inten-
sity.
Remote control
The type and time of occurrence of anomalies can be instantly
determined through a variety of interfaces (RS-232C, LAN, printer
and modem).
