Cautionary Notes for Safe Use of the Product

When operating the instrument, be sure to observe the cautionary notes given below to ensure correct and  

safe use of the instrument. 

If you use the instrument in any way other than as instructed in this manual, the instrument’s protective 

 

measures may be impaired.

This manual is an essential part of the product; keep it a safe place for future reference.

YOKOGAWA is by no means liable for any damage resulting from use of the instrument in contradiction to  

these cautionary notes.

■ The following safety symbols are used on the instrument and in the manual:

Danger! Handle with Care.

This mark indicates that operator must refer to an explanation in

the instruction manual in order to avoid risk of injury or death of

personnel or damage to the instrument.

This mark indicates earth (ground).

■ Since mishandling the instrument can result in an accident that may lead to 

 

injury or death of the operator, such as an electric shock, be sure to observe 

 

the following instructions.

WARNING

 

● Protective Measures

• If a crack appears in the instrument after it has been accidentally dropped or bumped, 

 

the safety-purpose insulation may be damaged.

  By all means do not use the instrument, but ask the manufacture for repair.

● Connection

• To avoid electric shock, be sure to apply protective grounding to the grounding terminal.
• Install a protection fuse as shown in the example of measurement.

● Measurement

• Always maintain the instrument within the limits for allowable current, voltage and power, 

 

during operation.

  If there is more than one limit for any of these parameters, the lowest limit takes precedence.

● External Power Supply

• Only operate the instrument on a supply voltage no greater than 60 VDC.

● Operating Environment

• Do not operate the instrument in a flammable or explosive gas atmosphere.
• Do not operate the instrument if there is any condensation on it.

● Do Not Remove the Case or Disassemble

• Do not open the case except when replacing batteries.

  Only Yokogawa service personnel are authorized to remove the casing or disassemble or  

modify the instrument.

  Do not attempt to repair the instrument yourself, as doing so is extremely dangerous.
