Safety Notes
Safety Notes
This instrument is designed to conform to IEC 61010 Safety Standards, and has been thoroughly
tested for safety prior to shipment. However, using the instrument in a way not described in this
manual may negate the provided safety features.
Before using the instrument, be certain to carefully read the following safety notes.
WARNING
•Protective gears
Wear appropriate protective gear before measuring a strong laser light.
• With regard to the electricity supply, there are risks of an electric shock, a heat
generation, a re, and an arc ash due to a short-circuit. Individuals using an
electrical measuring instrument for the rst time should be supervised by a
technician who has experience in electrical measurement.
CAUTION
Mishandling during use could damage to the instrument. Be certain that you understand
the instructions and precautions in the manual before use.
Notations
In this document, the risk seriousness and the hazard levels are classied as follows.
DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that will result in death or serious injury
to the operator.
WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that may result in death or serious injury to
the operator.
CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that may result in minor or moderate injury
to the operator or damage to the instrument or malfunction.
IMPORTANT
Indicates information related to the operation of the instrument or maintenance tasks
with which the operators must be fully familiar.
Indicates prohibited actions.
Indicates the action which must be performed.
*Additional information is presented below.
p. Reference
[ ] Menus, dialogs, buttons in a dialog, and other names on the screen and the keys are
indicated in brackets.
• Unless otherwise specied, “Windows” represents Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10.

Safety Notes
Symbols afxed to the instrument
Indicates cautions and hazards.
When the symbol is printed
on the instrument, refer to a
corresponding topic in the
Instruction Manual.
Indicates DC (Direct Current).
Symbols for various standards
Indicates the Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) in EU
member states.
Indicates that the product conforms to
regulations set out by the EU Directive.
Accuracy
We dene measurement tolerances in terms of f.s. (full scale) and rdg. (reading) values, with the
following meanings:
f.s. f.s. (Maximum display value)
The maximum display value. Generally, this value indicates the range currently being used.
rdg. (Reading or displayed value)
The value currently being measured and displayed on the measuring instrument.

Usage Notes
Usage Notes
• Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full benets of the various
functions.
• Ensure that your use of the product falls within the specications not only of the instrument itself,
but also of any accessories, options and other equipment being used.
• Before using the instrument, verify that it operates normally to ensure that no damage occurred
during storage or shipping. If you nd any damage, contact your authorized Hioki distributor or
reseller.
• This instrument may cause interference if used in residential areas. Such use must be avoided
unless the user takes special measures to reduce electromagnetic emissions to prevent
interference to the reception of radio and television broadcasts.
WARNING
•The instrument itself does not radiate any laser light. However, when a strong
laser light is irradiated to the detector window of the sensor, a strong reected
light is generated. In this case, do not look into the detector window directly.
Doing so may adversely affect your eyes or cause visual disturbance.
The instrument can measure lasers classied into classes I to IIIB. As required,
refer to the risks during measurement of the relevant class laser and cautions
on use stated in IEC60825-1 and FDA21CFR1040.10. When handling a laser
product, always follow the caution and warning labels adhered to the laser
product, and the contents described in the instruction manual.
•Refer to the description of safe use of the laser and laser system stated in
ANSI Z136.1. Only authorized operators who have trained in operation of the
laser and laser system are allowed to perform the measurement.
•Do not input a light exceeding the maximum input level. Otherwise, accurate
measurements cannot be performed or the sensor may be damaged by
excessive energy.
•When an extremely focused beam is measured, the energy density on the
sensor is excessive, causing inaccurate measurements. In addition, the sensor
may deteriorate.
•To avoid the risk of re, do not irradiate a strong laser light to the instrument
or cap, nor focus a strong laser light on the instrument or cap. In particular, do
not place any combustible materials near the instrument in the unmanned state
such as automatic measurement.
•Use only the supplied Model Z1008 AC Adapter. The AC adapter input voltage
range is 100 V to 240 V AC at a frequency of 50 Hz/60 Hz. To avoid electrical
hazards and damage to the instrument, do not apply voltage outside of this
range.
•To prevent an electrical shock and to maintain the safety specications of this
instrument, connect only the power cord provided to an outlet.

Usage Notes
CAUTION
• Avoid using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or DC/AC inverter with rectangular
wave or pseudo-sine-wave output to power the supplied AC adapter. Doing so may
damage the instrument.
• The instrument consists of precision optical components. Dropping the instrument
or subjecting it to mechanical shock may damage it. Optical components inside the
instrument may fall out of alignment if the instrument is dropped or subjected to
mechanical shock, affecting measured values.
• To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from physical shock when transporting
and handling it. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock due to dropping it.
• Do not connect the power supply improperly. Doing so may damage the instrument’s
internal circuitry.
• If a light outside the measurement wavelength range enters, this may cause the
sensor to deteriorate. Attach the cap when the instrument is not in use.
• Attach the cap when the instrument is not used for a long time.
Installing the instrument
Installing the instrument in inappropriate locations may cause a malfunction of instrument or may
give rise to an accident. Avoid the following locations.
WARNING
•Exposed to direct sunlight or high temperature
•Exposed to corrosive or combustible gases
•Exposed to water, oil, chemicals, or solvents
•Exposed to high humidity or condensation
•Exposed to a strong electromagnetic eld or electrostatic charge
•Exposed to high quantities of dust particles
•Near induction heating systems (such as high-frequency induction heating
systems and IH cooking equipment)
•Susceptible to vibration
CAUTION
• Do not place the instrument on an unstable table or an inclined place. Dropping or
knocking down the instrument can cause injury or damage to the instrument.
• The instrument consists of precision optical components. The instrument should be
securely mounted on a jig using the screw hole in its base. Dropping the instrument or
applying an impact to it can cause the accuracy to deviate from its specication. If an
impact is applied to the instrument, it needs to be inspected.
• When orienting the instrument so that a part other than its base is facing down, x it
in place so that it cannot fall. Failure to do so may cause a re or other malfunction in
the instrument.
• The instrument is housed in a metal case and emits heat. Be sure to leave adequate
space around the instrument. Failure to do so may cause the ambient temperature to
rise, affecting measured values and potentially damaging the instrument.
• Install the instrument so that no load is applied to the detector window.
In an emergency, unplug the power cord to kill power to the instrument. Be sure to provide enough
unobstructed space to unplug the power cord immediately.
