Operating Precautions
9
• Avoid stepping on or pinching cables, which could damage the cable
insulation.
• To avoid breaking the cables, do not bend or pull them.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the cord, when
unplugging it from the power outlet.
• Keep the cables well away from heat sources, as bare conductors
could be exposed if the insulation melts.
• Be careful to avoid dropping the clamps or otherwise subjecting them
to mechanical shock, which could damage the mating surfaces of the
core and adversely affect measurement.
• Be careful when handling the cords, since the conductor being mea-
sured may become very hot.
• When disconnecting the BNC connector, be sure to release the lock
before pulling off the connector. Forcibly pulling the connector without
releasing the lock, or pulling on the cable, can damage the connector.
Before Turning Power On
Battery Pack Operation
• For battery operation, use only the HIOKI Model 9459 Battery
Pack. We cannot accept responsibility for accidents or damage
related to the use of any other batteries.
See:
"Charge the 9459 Battery Pack"(p. 40)
"9.3 Battery Pack Replacement and Disposal" (p. 166)
AC Adapter Operation
• Use only the supplied Model 9418-15 AC Adapter. AC adapter
input voltage range is 100 to 240 VAC (with ±10% stability) at 50/60
Hz. To avoid electrical hazards and damage to the instrument, do
not apply voltage outside of this range.
• Turn the instrument off before connecting the AC adapter to the
instrument and to AC power.
• To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifica-
tions of this instrument, connect the power cord only to a 3-con-
tact (two-con ground) outlet.
• Before turning the instrument on, make sure the supply voltage
matches that indicated on the its power connector. Connection to
an improper supply voltage may damage the instrument and
present an electrical hazard.
