CAUTION
(Continued)
● If not used for a long time, remove the power cord plug of this instrument from the
receptacle for safety.
● Do not use the instrument without cleaning internal for a long term.
Long-term use of an instrument having a dirty or dusty interior may cause a fire or
malfunction. It is recommended that you contact Iwatsu office or sales distributors to check
and clean the interior, calibrate, etc., about once per year.
● The weight of this instrument is about 43 kg for CS-3200/CS-3300 and about 28 kg for
CS-3100. When moving or transporting it, two persons or more should carry it.
If not, injury may be caused.
● When "OVERHEAT ALERT!!!" or "Overheat alert was detected." is displayed, the inner
temperature is high: i.e., overheating state. When the overheating is displayed, stand
by for five minutes or more (the time that an in-flight temperature falls enough) after
the breaker of "COLLECTOR SUPPLY" is switched to "Disable", and return to
"Enable", and restart the measurement. After that, output of current and voltage is
automatically set to 0. Wait un54he indication disappears while keeping the power on
state (fan moving).
Since the fan moves when the power switch is on, the inner temperature is easy to decrease.
If the power switch is turned off, it takes much time to decrease the temperature.
● Please work carefully so that neither the hand nor the finger, etc. are placed
when you
handle the lid of the test fixture on.
It might cause the injuries such as hands and fingers when placed.
● Please use special red Test Leads in the connection of the collector terminal when
you measure high voltage (HIGH VOLTAGE).
When the Test Leads other than red are used, the resisting voltage might damage the
measurement sample and this instrument due to the insufficiency.
● Do not apply a voltage exceeding 1 kV (500 V for CS-510) or a current exceeding 1A on
each terminals of the test adapters (TO type adapter option) CS-501A , CS-502 (AXIAL
type adapter option) and CS-503/CS-504/CS-505/CS-506/CS-510 (SURFACE MOUNT
type adapter options). And, do not apply a voltage exceeding 100 V or exceeding 0.5 A
on each terminal of the test adapter (SURFACE MOUNT type adapter option)
CS-507/CS-509. Moreover, do not apply a voltage exceeding 3 kV or exceeding 40 A on
each terminal of the test adapter (SMD CHIP type adapter option) CS-508.
If the above-mentioned voltage values and current values are exceeded, test adapter
intrument or a device to be measured might be damaged.
●Avoid the measurements of parts other than the semiconductor device because the
measurements might cause the breakdown of this instrument and the damage of the
measurement device. Moreover, when you measure the semiconductor device that has
not been described to this manual, contact Iwatsu office or our sales distributors.
●Do not use this instrument by method of no regulations with this instruction manual.
If not, protection means does not function.
