Safety Notes
Safety Symbols This manual contains information and warnings essential for safe
operation of the instrument and for maintaining it in safe operating
condition. Before using the instrument, be sure to carefully read the
following safety notes.
The following symbols in this manual indicate the relative importance
of cautions and warnings.
Other Symbols
This instrument is designed to comply with IEC 61010 Safety
Standards, and has been thoroughly tested for safety prior to
shipment. However, mishandling during use could result in
injury or death, as well as damage to the instrument. Using the
instrument in a way not described in this manual may negate the
provided safety features. Be certain that you understand the

claim any responsibility for accidents or injuries not resulting
directly from instrument defects.
In the manual, the symbol indicates particularly important
information that the user should read before using the instru-
ment.
The symbol printed on the instrument indicates that the
user should refer to a corresponding topic in the manual (marked
with the symbol) before using the relevant function.
Indicates AC (Alternating Current).
Indicates a grounding terminal.
Indicates the ON side of the power switch.
Indicates the OFF side of the power switch.
Indicates that incorrect operation presents a significant
hazard that could result in serious injury or death to the
user.
Indicates that incorrect operation presents a possibility of

4Safety Notes
HIOKI
Quick Start Manual
Accuracy We define measurement tolerances in terms of f.s. (full scale), rdg.
(reading) values, with the following meanings:
• f.s. (maximum display value or scale length)
The maximum displayable value or the full length of the scale.
This is usually the maximum value of the currently selected range.
• rdg. (reading or displayed value)
The value currently being measured and indicated on the measuring
instrument.
Measurement categories
To ensure safe operation of measurement instrument, IEC 61010
establishes safety standards for various electrical environments, cate-
gorized as CAT II to CAT IV, and called measurement categories.
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.
Use of a measurement instrument that is not CAT-rated in CAT II to
CAT IV measurement applications could result in a severe accident,
and must be carefully avoided.
About the guarantee You should be aware that HIOKI cannot accept any responsibility
directly or indirectly if the unit has been incorporated in some other
system, or if it is resold to a third party.
CAT II Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to an AC electri-
cal outlet by a power cord (portable tools, household appliances,
etc.) CAT II covers directly measuring electrical outlet receptacles.
CAT III Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed installations)
connected directly to the distribution panel, and feeders from the
distribution panel to outlets.
CAT IV The circuit from the servicedropto the service entrance, and to the
powermeterand primaryovercurrentprotectiondevice(distribution
panel).

Usage Notes 5
HIOKI
Usage Notes
Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the
full benefits of the various functions.
Handling this device
• To avoid electric shock, do not allow the instrument to get wet,
and do not use it when your hands are wet.
• Never modify the instrument. Only a Hioki service engineer
can disassemble or repair the instrument. Failure to observe
these precautions may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Do not use the instrument where it may be exposed to corro-
sive or combustible gases. The instrument may be damaged or
cause an explosion.
• To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from vibration or shock
during transport and handling, and be especially careful to avoid
dropping.
• Do not use excessive force on the touch panel, and do not use sharp
objects that could damage the touch screen.
• Before using the instrument, make sure that the insulation on the
cables is undamaged and that no bare conductors are improperly
exposed. Using the instrument under such conditions could result in
electrocution. Replace the cables specified by HIOKI.
• If anything unusual happens during operation of the unit, turn off the
power switch immediately and contact any HIOKI service facility for
help, advice and service.
• Do not connect or disconnect the 9700-10 HEAD AMP UNIT or 9678
CONNECTION CABLE with the power turned on. This may cause a
malfunction.
• Do not apply any voltage to the measurement terminals. This may
cause a malfunction in the unit.

6Usage Notes
HIOKI
Quick Start Manual
• Do not store or use the instrument where it could be exposed to
direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, or condensation. Under
such conditions, the instrument may be damaged and insulation may
deteriorate so that it no longer meets specifications.
• This instrument should be installed and operated indoors only,
between 10 and 40°C, 80% RH or less, and at an altitude of 2000 m
or less, and also stored in a range of temperature and humidity from
-10°C to 55°C, 80% RH or less.
• This instrument is not designed to be entirely water- or dust-proof. To
avoid damage, do not use it in a wet or dusty environment.
• Do not use the instrument near a device that generates a strong
electromagnetic field or electrostatic charge, as these may cause
erroneous measurements.
• Do not install the instrument with any side except the bottom facing
down. This may cause a fire or other malfunction in the instrument.
• Ventilation holes for heat radiation are provided on the side and rear
panels of the instrument. Leave sufficient space around the ventila-
tion holes and install the instrument with the holes unobstructed.
Installation of the instrument with the ventilation holes obstructed
may cause a malfunction or fire.
Setting up the 3535
OK
10 cm or more
5 cm or more
Before connection and powering on
• To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifi-
cations of this instrument, connect the power cord provided
only to a 3-contact (two-conductor + ground) outlet.
2.3, "Connecting the Power Cord"(page 19)
• Before turning the instrument on, make sure the source voltage
matches that indicated on the instrument's power connector.
Connection to an improper supply voltage may damage the
instrument and present an electrical hazard.
• Various connectors are present on the outside of the 3535.
Never connect any cable to any of these connectors without
first turning off the power supply and removing the power cord.
Moreover, check the connections carefully in order to avoid
any chance of setting up a short-circuit etc.
