User Manual 1409.8262.02 ─ 02

Immediately after powering on, this device may be subject to an appre-
ciable offset drift due to the effect of self-heating. To counteract this,
allow the device to warm up for about 30

 

minutes before carrying out

measurements.

When performing continuous measurements, it is necessary to be
aware that the offset voltage drifts, depending on factors such as the
ambient temperature.

Under certain circumstances, oscillation may occur while the power sup-
ply is on. This does not indicate a malfunction. Oscillation can be stop-
ped and operation restored to normal by opening and closing the sensor
head.

Depending on the amplitude and frequency of the current being mea-
sured, the sensor head may emit a resonant sound. This sound may
also occur during demagnetizing operation, but it does not represent a
malfunction or device failure.
If foreign matter is adhered to the facing surfaces on the sensor head so
that a slight gap exists between the upper and lower sensors, the sen-
sor head may also emit a resonant sound. Remove any foreign matter
using the cleaning method described in this manual.
An increase in the volume of the resonant sound during use may indi-
cate that the gap between the upper and lower sensors has increased.
Since the sensor characteristics may change, it is recommended to cali-
brate the device.
