Notes on Use
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
CAUTION
・ Should the unit emit smoke, or a strange smell or strange sound,
immediately stop testing operations, power the unit off, and remove
the power cord from the outlet, shut off the circuit being tested,
disconnect the unit, and consult your HIOKI representative.
Continued use of the unit could lead to fire or electric shock
accidents.
・ Do not insert foreign objects through the ventilation holes in the top
and bottom of the case. Particularly if metallic, liquid, or combustible
substances get inside the case, this may lead to fire or electric
shock, or to malfunction. When using several devices at the same
time, do not stack them.
・ Never allow the ventilation holes in the top and bottom covers to
become blocked while using this unit. Blocking the ventilation will
cause internal temperature to rise, possibly resulting in fire or
damage to the equipment.
・ To prevent electric shock, do not allow the unit to become wet and
do not use the unit when your hands are wet.
・ This unit is designed for indoor use and can be safely used at
temperatures ranging from 0℃ to 40℃ and should be operated at
80% RH or less.
・ This unit is not constructed to be waterproof or dustproof, so do
not use it in a very dusty environment or in one where it will get
wet.
・ Do not store or use the unit where it will be exposed to direct
sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, or condensation. If
exposed to such conditions, the unit may be damaged, the insulation
may deteriorate, and the unit may no longer satisfy its
specifications.
・ To avoid damage to the unit, do not subject the equipment to
vibrations or shocks during transport or handling. Be especially
careful to avoid dropping the equipment.
・ Do not place the unit on an unstable stand, or in an uneven
location. It may fall to the ground, or fall over, and either of these
events may lead to malfunction or accident.
・ Do not use the unit near any device which generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or near a static electrical charge, as these
may cause errors.
・ Avoid treading on or pinching the cable so as not to damage the
cable sheaths.
・ When unplugging the power cord from the power receptacle or from
the unit, grasp the plug, not the cord, in order to avoid damaging the
cable.
・ To avoid damaging the sensor cables or probes, do not bend or pull
them, especially where they connect to the sensor.
