1 Safety Instructions
These safety instructions are intended to prevent hazardous situations
and/or equipment damage. These instructions indicate the level of potential
hazard with the labels of “Caution,” “Warning” or “Danger.”
They are all important notes for safety and must be followed in addition to
International Standards (ISO/IEC), and other safety regulations.
ISO 4414: Pneumatic fluid power - General rules relating to systems.
ISO 4413: Hydraulic fluid power - General rules relating to systems.
IEC 60204-1: Safety of machinery - Electrical equipment of machines.
(Part 1: General requirements)
ISO 10218-1: Robots androbotic devices - Safety requirementsfor industrial
robots - Part 1: Robots.
Refer to product catalogue, Operation Manual and Handling Precautions
for SMC Products for additional information.
Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
If instructions are not followed there is a possibility of
injury or equipment damage.
If instructions are not followed there is a possibility of
serious injury or loss of life.
In extreme conditions, there is a possibility of serious
injury or loss of life.
Warning
Always ensure compliance with relevant safety laws and standards.
All work must be carried out in a safe manner by a qualified person in
compliance with applicable national regulations.
Use within the specified voltage and temperature limits.
Voltage outside of the specification may cause malfunction, damage,
electric shock and/or fire.
This instrument is for measurement of high voltage up to ± 20 kV.
The user must take all necessary precautions to use it safely, as high
voltages are dangerous.
Heavy impacts on the meter.
Do not drop, allow any collision or apply excessive shock to the meter
when handling. It can result in damage to the meter.
Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with the measurement
target.
Failure and accidents may occur.
Handling of ground wire.
To ensure safety and accurate measurements always use the ground wire.
If the ground wire is not connectedproperly, chargecan accumulatein the
sensor and/or the ground terminal and then discharge to operator. Handle
the sensor and ground terminal carefully.
NOTE
Follow the Notes for safe use given below when handling the meter.
If these instructions are not followed the meter may malfunction or become
damaged.
1 Safety Instructions (continued)
1.1 Notes for safe use
Do not carry or swing the meter by the sensor cable.
Do not press the setting buttons with sharp pointed objects.
Do not touch the detecting surface of the sensor directly or with a metal
object. Such action can result in damage or loss of specified function and
performance.
When measuring objects with a highly charged potential, there is a risk of
electrostatic discharge to the hand of the user holding the sensor. In this
situation use the high voltage measuring handle (optional extra) and wear
protective rubber gloves. Starting from a safe distance, slowly move the
sensor closer to the measurement target. Stop immediately if the display
shows "HHH" or "LLL" as the charged potential is out of range.
This means the charged potential is very high, which can be dangerous.
The display will not change if the sensor is moved closer to the charged
object.
Do not place objects and cables other than the measurement target near
the detecting port of the sensor. Doing so will cause interference and
result in an inaccurate display reading.
Handle cables carefully so they do not get tangled with the user’s
equipment, as this can be highly dangerous.
The measurement distance is 50 mm. Refer to scales shown on the label
attached to the sensor.
The meter is designed to measure static electricity and must not be used
for other purposes.
1.2 Environment Warning
Do not use in an environment where flammable or corrosive gases,
chemicals, salt water or steam are present.
Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.
Do not expose to direct sunlight. Use a suitable protective cover.
Do not install ina location subject to vibration or impact. Check the product
specifications.
Do not mount in a location exposed to radiant heat.
Use within the ambient temperature range.
Do not use this product in areas where dust explosion might be triggered
or where flammable or explosive gas is present.

4 Setting
4.1 Power ON
When the "POWER" button is pressed with the meter off, the meter will be
turned on. All display segments are displayed for 1 second after the meter
is turned on.
4.2 Power OFF
When the "POWER" button is pressed for 3 seconds or more with the meter
on, the meter will be turned off. If no buttons are pressed for a set time the
meter will automatically turn off. (refer to the operation manual on the SMC
website (URL: https://www.smcworld.com) for further details).
To conserve battery life turn the meter off immediately after use.
4 Setting (continued)
4.3 Auto Power-off
If no buttons are pressed for 5 minutes or more the meter will turn off
automatically.
4.4 Auto Power-off Extension
When the "POWER" button is pressed for 6 seconds or more with the meter
turned off, the auto power-off display will extend to 15 minutes (when the
auto power-off extension is activated, all the display segments will flash for
3 seconds).
When the meter is turned off again, the auto power-off extension will be
cleared.
4.5 Peak / Bottom Value Hold
When the "POWER" button is pressed with the meter turned on, the display
will be changed to instantaneous value, peak hold value, bottom hold value
and back to instantaneous value, in that order.
Note) Release the "POWER" button after "P" or "b" is displayed so the meter is not
turned off.
Peak hold value
The maximum charged potential detected and "P" are displayed.
The maximum charged potential is continuously detected and updated from
when the peak hold is started. If a value greater than the displayed charged
potential is detected, the display will update to show the new value.
Bottom hold value
The minimum charged potential detected and "b" are displayed.
The minimum charged potential is continuously detected and updated from
when the bottom hold is started. If a value less than the displayed charged
potential is detected, the display will update to show the new value.
