Safety Notes
______________________________________________________________
WARNING
This product is designed to conform to 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 product. Be certain that you understand the
instructions and precautions in the manual before use.
We disclaim any responsibility for accidents or injuries
not resulting directly from product defects.
Safety Symbols
The symbol printed on the product indicates that the
user should refer to a corresponding topic in the
manual (marked with the symbol) before using the
relevant function.
In the manual, the symbol indicates particularly
important information that the user should read before
using the product.
Indicates the ON side of the power switch.
Indicates the OFF side of the power switch.
Indicates both DC (Direct Current) and AC (Alternating
Current).
Indicates DC (Direct Current).
Safety Notes
This manual contains information and warnings essential
for safe operation of the product and for maintaining it in
safe operating condition. Before using the product, be sure
to carefully read the following safety notes.

significant hazard that could result in serious injury or
death to the user.

operation of the product.
The following symbols in this manual indicate the relative
importance of cautions and warnings.

Safety Notes
______________________________________________________________
CAT I Secondary electrical circuits connected to an
AC electrical 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 outlets.
CAT IV 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 II 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.

Safety Notes
______________________________________________________________
Accuracy
We define measurement tolerances in terms of f.s. (full
scale), rdg. (reading) and dgt. (digit) 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 product.
dgt. (resolution)
The smallest displayable unit on a digital measuring
product, i.e., the input value that causes the digital display
to show a "1".

To avoid the risk of electric shock and damage to the
product
Do not apply more than 450 V AC or DC between the
analog inputs and product, or between the analog
inputs.
Use only the specified Model 9418-15 AC ADAPTER
(SA145A-1240V-6, SINO AMERICAN). AC adapter input
voltage range is 100 to 240 V AC (with 10% stability)
at 50/60 Hz. To avoid electrical hazards and damage to
the product, do not apply voltage outside of this range.
Terminal inputs should never exceed the limits
indicated below.

Analog input 450 V AC/DC
EXT TRIG -5 V to +10 V
TRIG OUT -20Vto+30V
500 mA max, 200 mW max
The maximum voltage applied to the probe and cables
connecting to the analog input of the product must
never exceed the limits in the following table.
Notwithstanding these limits, the voltage at the analog
input must not exceed 450V AC or DC.

ARNING
When using the batteries, use LR6 alkaline batteries
or 9447 BATTERY PACK. In this case, do not use
new batteries with old ones. Also, do not mix
batteries of different types. We take no responsibility
for an accident using the batteries and battery packs
which are not specified.
The logic inputs are not floating. Although two sets
of logic probes can be connected, they all have a
common ground with the main product.
CAUTION Use only the specified input cord. Using a non-specified
cable may result in incorrect measurements due to poor
connection or other reasons.
To avoid damage to the product, do not input a
voltage/current exceeding the rated maximum to the
external input terminals.
This product should be installed and operated indoors only,
between 5 and 40 and 35 to 80%RH.
Do not store or use the product where it could be exposed
to direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, or
condensation. Under such conditions, the product may be
damaged and insulation may deteriorate so that it no longer
meets specifications.
Do not use the product where it may be exposed to
corrosive or combustible gases. The product may be
damaged.
This product is not designed to be entirely water- or dust-
proof. To avoid damage, do not use it in a wet or dusty
environment.
Preliminary Checks
Before using the product the first time, verify that it
operates normally to ensure that the no damage occurred
during storage or shipping. If you find any damage, contact
your dealer or Hioki representative.

_____________________________________________________________________
Notes on Use
______________________________________________________________
(1) Before Powering On
Check that the 9418-15 AC ADAPTER (SA145A-1240V-6,
SINO AMERICAN), 9447 BATTERY PACK, or LR6
alkaline batteries are correctly fitted.
When using an AC adapter and if properly grounded three-
pin outlet is available, then using the three-core power cord
provides automatic grounding.
(2) Using the Printer
Avoid using the printer in hot, humid environments, as this
can greatly reduce printer life.
Printing is not possible if the recording paper is loaded
wrong-side up.
(3) Recording Paper
This product uses a thermal printer. The recording paper
supplied has characteristics finely tuned for use with the
printer.
Using recording paper of a different specification may not
only result in impaired printing quality, but even prevent
the printer from operating. Always use the 9234
RECORDING PAPER.
(4) Storage
Always place the product in the head-up condition when it
is stored for an extended period of time. If the product is
left idle for a long time with the head pressing on the roller,
the roller may be deformed, resulting in uneven printing.
(5) Shipment
Use the original packing materials when reshipping the
product, if possible.
