Operating Precautions
WARNING
Your instrument can be used to measure voltages in excess of 1000 V
DC if and only if both of the following conditions are satisfied:
1. The circuit under measurement is isolated from the commercial
power grid.
2. The circuit under measurement is isolated from ground.
e.g.: when measuring the no-load voltage of an ungrounded PV panel
Do not use the instrument with circuits whose terminal-to-ground voltage
exceeds 1000 V. Doing so may result in electric shock.

Usage Notes
Usage Notes
Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full benets of the various
functions. Read the separate document “Operating Precautions” carefully before using the
instrument. Ensure that your use of the product falls within the specications not only of the
instrument itself, but also of any accessories, options, batteries, and other equipment being
used.
DANGER
•To prevent an electric shock, do not touch any areas beyond the barrier
while the instrument is in use.
See: “Part Names” (p.12)
•The maximum measurement current varies with the frequency, and the
current that can be measured continuously is limited. Operating the
instrument at less than this limitation is referred to as derating. Do not
measure currents in excess of the derating curve. Doing so may result in
instrument damage or malfunction, a re, or burn due to sensor heating.
•Never apply a voltage to the instrument when the resistance, continuity
check, diode check, capacitance, or temperature functions are selected.
Damage to the instrument can cause bodily injury. To avoid electrical
accidents, turn off the circuit before measuring it.

7
Usage Notes
DANGER
•To prevent an electric shock, conrm that the white portion (insulation layer)
inside the cable is not exposed. If a color inside the cable is exposed, do not
use the cable.
WARNING
Do not allow the instrument to get wet, and do not take measurements with wet
hands. This may cause an electric shock. (This precaution does not apply to
insulated conductors.)
To prevent an electric shock, do not exceed the lower of the ratings shown on
the instrument and test leads.
CAUTION
Do not place any foreign object between the jaws or any insert foreign
object into the gap of the sensor head. Doing so may worsen the
performance of the sensor or the opening-closing operation of the
sensor head.

8
Usage Notes
CAUTION
Avoid dropping or jarring the instrument, which could damage the jaw,
adversely affecting measurement.
IMPORTANT
Clamp the instrument around only one conductor. The instrument will
not be able to make a measurement if you clamp it around two or
more wires together, regardless of whether they are part of a single-
phase or three-phase circuit.

9
Usage Notes
Test Lead
WARNING
To prevent an electric shock, when measuring the voltage of a power line use a
test lead that satises the following criteria:
•Conforms to safety standards IEC61010 or EN61010
•Measurement category III or IV
•Its rated voltage is higher than the voltage to be measured
The optional test leads provided for the instrument conform to the safety
standard EN61010. Use a test lead in accordance with its dened measurement
category and rated voltage.
•To prevent a short-circuit accident, be sure to use the test leads with the
sleeves attached when performing measurements in the CAT III and CAT IV
measurement categories.
•If the sleeves are removed during measurement, stop the measurement.
CAUTION
The cable is hardened in freezing temperatures. Do not bend or pull it to avoid tearing
its shield or cutting cable.

10
Usage Notes
Model L4937, 9804 Magnetic Adapter Set (optional)
DANGER
P ersons wearing electronic medical devices such as a pacemaker should not
use the Magnetic Adapter Set. Such persons should avoid even proximity to the
Magnetic Adapter Set, as it may be dangerous. Medical device operation could be
compromised, presenting a hazard to human life.
CAUTION
•Do not subject the Magnetic Adapter Set to mechanical shock, for example, due to
dropping it. Shock can cause it to be chipped or cracked.
•Do not use the Magnetic Adapter Set in locations where it may be exposed to
rainwater, dust, or condensation. In those conditions, the Magnetic Adapter Set
may be decomposed or deteriorated. The magnet adhesion may be diminished. In
such case, the instrument may not be hung in place and may fall.
•Do not bring the Magnetic Adapter Set near magnetic storage device such as
oppy disks, magnetic cards, pre-paid cards, or magnetized tickets. Doing so may
corrupt and may render them unusable. Furthermore, if the Magnetic Adapter
Set is brought near precision electronic equipment such as PCs, TV screens, or
electronic wrist watches, they may fail.

This instrument is a clamp meter that can
perform true RMS measurement of current
simply by clamping it around a circuit. In
addition to current, it provides voltage
measurement, frequency measurement, rush
current measurement, resistance measurement,
diode measurement, capacitance measurement,
and temperature measurement.
Model CM4142 also provide Bluetooth®
communications functionality, allowing
measurement data to be monitored and logged
from a mobile device.

2.1 Inspection Before Measurement
Check if there is any damage to the instrument occurred during storage or shipping and
verify that instrument operates normally before using it. If you nd any damage, contact your
authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
Check item
The battery cover is closed and its screw has
been securely tightened.
There is no damage to the test lead
insulation, and neither the white sheathing nor
metal conductor inside the wire are exposed.
There is no foreign matter on the
measurement terminals. (p.12)
The instrument is neither damaged nor cracked.
