────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Safety Notes
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
CATⅠ Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC electrical
outlet through a transformer or similar device.
CATⅡ Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to an AC
electrical outlet by a power cord (portable tools, household
appliances, etc.)
CATⅢ Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed
installations) connected directly to the distribution panel,
and feeders from the distribution panel to outlets.
CATⅣ The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance,
and to the power meter and primary overcurrent protection
device (distribution panel).
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 categories. 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 environments.
The measurement categories comply with the Overvoltage Categories of the
IEC60664 Standards.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Notes on Use
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
DANGER This unit cannot be used on voltage lines of 600 Vrms. If the
voltage exceeds 600 VAC, there will be a short-circuit accident or
electrocution accident will result.
The maximum input voltage and current are 600 Vrms, 60 Arms. Do
not exceed the maximum input voltage and current. Doing so can
damage the unit or cause a serious accident.
The maximum rated voltage between input terminals and ground is
600 Vrms. Attempting to measure voltages exceeding 600 Vrms
with respect to ground could damage the instrument and result in
personal injury.
Always connect the powermeter input to the secondary side of the
breaker. On the secondary side of a breaker, even if the lines are
shorted the breaker can trip and prevent an accident. On the
primary side, however, the current capacity may be large, and in
the event of a short-circuit there may be a serious accident.
WARNING Before turning on the power, make sure that the voltage of the
power supply being used matches the supply voltage indicated on
the rear panel of the unit. If an attempt is made to use an improper
supply voltage, there is danger of damage to this unit and of life-
threatening risk to the operator.
In order to prevent electric shock and short-circuit accidents, shut
off the power to the line to be measured before connecting the
direct connection voltage and current cables to the terminals.
Be sure to connect the voltage input terminals or current input
terminals correctly. Measurement which is attempted with the
wiring connected incorrectly may cause damage to the unit or a
short-circuit.
Since the power switch is of a micro gap construction, always use
near an outlet. When not in use and when connecting a device to
be measured, make sure that the power cord is unplugged, or any
other means so that the unit is cut off from the power.
The unit is constructed so as to be connected to a ground line via
a three-core power cord that is supplied with the unit. In order to
avoid electric shock, connect the unit to a properly grounded (3-
pin) outlet using the power cord provided.
Do not remove the case of the unit. There are components inside
carrying high voltages or becoming hot, and this could cause an
electric shock accident.
Do not use the unit where it may be exposed to corrosive or
explosive gases. The unit may be damaged, or explosion may
occur.
Notes on Use
In order to ensure safe operation and to obtain maximum performance from
the unit, observe the cautions listed below.

v
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Notes on Use
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
CAUTION ・ Before measurement, check the position of the measurement range.
The unit may be damaged if voltage or current at levels in excess of
the measurement limit is applied for a long time.
・ To avoid damage to the unit, do not short the output terminal and do
not input voltage to the output terminal.
・ Do not store or use the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight,
high temperatures, high humidity, or condensation. If exposed to such
conditions, the unit may be damaged, the insulation may deteriorate,
and the unit may no longer satisfy its specifications.
・ This unit is designed for indoor use and can be safely used at
temperatures ranging from 0℃ to 40℃.
・ To avoid damage to the unit, do not subject the equipment to
vibrations or shocks during transport or handling. Be especially careful
to avoid dropping the equipment.
・ Should the unit emit smoke, or a strange smell or strange sound,
immediately stop testing operations, power the unit off, and remove the
power cord from the outlet, shut off the circuit being tested,
disconnect the unit, and consult your HIOKI representative. Continued
use of the unit could lead to fire or electric shock accidents.
・ Do not insert foreign objects through the ventilation holes. Particularly
if metallic, liquid, or combustible substances get inside the case, this
may lead to fire or electric shock, or to malfunction.
・ Do not use the unit near any device which generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or near a static electrical charge, as these
may cause errors.
・ To prevent electric shock, do not allow the unit to become wet and do
not use the unit when your hands are wet.
・ This unit is not constructed to be waterproof or dustproof, so do not
use it in a very dusty environment or in one where it will get wet.
・ Do not place the unit on an unstable stand, or in an uneven location. It
may fall to the ground, or fall over, and either of these events may lead
to malfunction or accident.
・ Avoid treading on or pinching the cable so as not to damage the cable
sheaths.
・ Keep the cables well away from heat, to prevent the possibility of
melting the insulation.
・ For long-term storage, remove the power cord.
・ Do not use the unit near any device which generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or near a static electrical charge, as these
may cause errors.
・ The recommended calibration interval for this instrument is six months.

vi
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Notes on Use
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
NOTE ・This unit is electrically configured specifically for AC currents. Thus signals
with elements of DC currents (such as all-wave rectifier) cannot be
measured.
・For accurate measurement, allow the unit to warm up for more than half an
hour before starting operation.
・Note that limits are specified for the range in which voltage and current level
accuracies are guaranteed.
・The values for apparent power (S), reactive power (Q), power factor (λ)
and phase angle (φ) produced by this unit are computed from the measured
voltage (U), current (I), and active power (P), using the expressions given in
the specifications. The values given may be different from those measured
with an instrument of different operating principles or using different
calculation expressions.
・This machine's integration value is derived from the measured values of the
electrical current and electrical power and calculated by the software. The
integration value may be different from other instruments that have differing
response times, sample rate or calculation expressions.
・Accurate measurement may be impossible in locations subject to strong
external magnetic fields, such as transformers and high-current conductors,
or in locations subject to strong external electric fields, such as radio
transmission equipment.
・Due to the internal circuitry, when measuring objects that contain certain
specific wave lengths, the indicated value of power may periodically shift
and not settle down. (Specifically, this occurs when measuring distorted
waves containing a large amount of high frequency waves which are the
even number multiple of 2.44 kHz.)
・When the input is less than 0.1% of the measurement range for current and
less than 40μA, the indication is forcibly set to zero. It is also set to zero
when the input is less than 0.2% of the measurement range for voltage, or
less than 0.1% for active power.
・The 3332 has a frequency measurement function, but this may produce
unexpected results on a waveform which is severely distorted.
・When a maximum rated voltage to earth of high frequency is applied (as for
example when measuring the secondary side of an inverter), errors may
occur in the measured values.
・To ensure the accuracy of measurement be careful not to let the unit
overheat. (Keep away from sources of heat, and provide sufficient ventilation
space around the unit, or when rack-mounted provide a cooling fan.)
