Preliminary Check
Before using the device the first time, verify that it operates normally to ensure that the no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you find any damage, contact your dealer or Hioki representative.
Notes on Use

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
DANGER
Do not measure around a bare conductor.
Doing so may result in short-circuit or electric shock. Take measurements at a location on an insulated wire where there is sufficient insulation for the circuit voltage.
Refer to the derating characteristics when
measuring current that includes a highfrequency component and never measure any current that exceeds the rated current.
Use with high frequencies or strong magnetic
fields may cause the device to become abnormally hot, resulting in fire, equipment damage, or burns. (See3 Specifications
(p5.))
Observe the following to avoid electric shock
and short circuits.
Connect the device to the 3269 or the 3272 Power Supply and waveform measurement instrument (oscilloscope or recorder) first, and then to the active lines to be measured
When the sensor is opened, do not shortcircuit the conductor being measured or other two wires with the metal part of the tip.
Be careful to avoid damaging the insulation surface while taking measurements.

Notes on Use

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
DANGER
Before clamping the conductor being
measured,make sure that the insulation on the conductor isundamaged. Also, take care not to damage theinsulation when clamping the conductor. Any damageto the insulation could cause an electric shock.
This instrument is made for use with the 3269
or 3272 POWER SUPPLY.
To prevent fire or damage of the measurement
target and device as well as burns, exercise caution concerning the following when measuring high-frequency currents or currents that contain high-frequency components:
Eddy current loss may cause heating of the
sensor head.
Dielectric heating may cause heating of cord
insulation and other materials.
This device should only be connected to the secondary side of a breaker, so the breaker can prevent an accident if a short circuit occurs. Connections should never be made to the primary side of a breaker, because unrestricted current flow could cause a serious accident if a short circuit occurs.

DANGER
Be sure to observe all operating precautions for the waveform monitoring instrument (oscilloscope or recorder) and other measurement instruments to which this device is connected. When using a measurement instrument that does not provide isolation between its input terminals and chassis or other input terminals, please pay attention to the following points. If a signal is applied to an input terminal other than that to which this device is connected, do not connect the ground-side terminal to any non-ground potential. Otherwise, short-circuit current will flow through the 3269,3272 or this device from the ground terminal, which could cause an electrical accident or damage.

WARNING
Do not allow the device to get wet, and do not take
measurements with wet hands. This may cause an electric shock.
Do not press the demagnetizing switch (DEMAG)
to perform demagnetization while the conductor being measured is clamped. Doing so could damage the circuitry or cause an accident that might result in injury or death.
Ensure that the input does not exceed the
maximum rated current to avoid device damage, shortcircuiting and electric shock resulting from heat building.

Notes on Use
viii
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the device, protect it from
physical shock when transporting and handling. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock from dropping.
This device should be installed and operated
indoors only, between 0 and 40
(32 to 104 )
and 80% RH or less.
Do not store or use the device where it could be
exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, or condensation. Under such conditions, the device may be damaged and insulation may deteriorate so that it no longer meets specifications.
This device is not designed to be entirely water- or
dust-proof. To avoid damage, do not use it in a wet or dusty environment.
The sensor head is a precision assembly including
a molded component, a ferrite core, and a Hall effect element. It may be damaged if subjected to sudden changes in ambient temperature, or mechanical strain or shock, and therefore great care should be exercised in handling it.
The matching surfaces of the sensor head are
precisely ground, and should be treated with care. If these surfaces are scratched, performance may be impaired.
Measurements are degraded by dirt on the mating
surfaces of the sensor head, so keep the surfaces clean by gently wiping with a soft cloth.

CAUTION
Foreign substances such as dust on the contact
surfaces of the sensor head can cause acoustic resonance and degrade measurement, so it should be cleaned by gently wiping with a soft cloth. Refer to NOTE (p. 23) for resonance sound.
To avoid damaging the cables, do not bend or pull
the sensor cable and power supply cable.
Keep the clamp jaws and core slits free from
foreign objects, which could interfere with clamping action.
Do not apply a static electricity or other source of
high voltage to the sensor. Doing so may damage its internal Hall elements and circuitry
To clean the device, wipe it gently with a soft cloth
moistened with water or mild detergent. Never use solvents such as benzene, alcohol, acetone, ether, ketones, thinners or gasoline, as they can deform and discolor the case.
When the power is on, keep the core section of the
sensor closed, except when clamping them onto the conductor to be measured. The facing surface of the core section can be scratched while it is open
.Do not short-circuit the output terminal and do not
input voltage to the output terminal. The device may be damaged.
