The symbol printed on the device indicates that the user
should refer to a corresponding topic in the manual
(marked with the

symbol) before using the relevant
function.
In the manual, the symbol indicates particularly
important information that the user should read before
using the device.

Wear appropriate protective insulation (insulating rubber
gloves and boots, helmet and etc.) when connecting and
disconnecting from live electric circuits.

Measurement categories (Overvoltage categories)

This device conforms to the safety requirements for CAT II

(600V), CAT III (300V) measurement instruments.

To ensure safe operation of measurement devices, IEC 61010

establishes safety standards for various electrical environments,

categorized as CAT I to CAT IV, and called measurement

categories. These are defined as follows.

CAT I : Secondary electrical circuits that are connected to a wall

outlet through a transformer or similar instrument.

CAT II : Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to a

wall outlet via a power cord (portable tools, household

appliances, etc.)

CAT III : Primary electrical circuits of heavy equip ment (fixed

installations) connected directly to the distribution

panel, and feeders between the distribution panel and

outlets.

CAT IV : The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance,

then to the power meter and to the primary overcurrent

protection instrument.

Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments

with greater momentary energy. So a measurement device

designed for CAT III environments can endure greater momentary

energythanadevicedesignedforCATII.

Using a measurement device in an environment designated with a

higher-numbered category than that for which the device is rated

could result in a severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.

Never use a CAT I measuring device in CAT II, III, or IV

environments.

The measurement categories comply with the Overvoltage

Categories of the IEC60664 Standards.

DANGER

To avoid short circuits and potentially life-threatening
hazards, follow these precautions.
z Never attach the clamp to a circuit that operates at

more than the maximum rated voltage to earth.

z For safety's sake, avoid clamping around bare

conductors, while clamping or measuring.

z While clamping and measuring, do not touch the

clamp in front of the barrier or the conductor being
measured.

z Be careful to avoid damaging the insulation surface

while taking measurements.

z This device is made for use with the 3269 or 3272

POWER SUPPLY. It is possible to use a power
supply other than the 3269 or 3272, provided that
the connector and pin assignments match, and that
voltage and other electrical specifications are
satisfied. In the interest of safety, make sure that
the power supply has a protective earthing with
double-insulation construction.

z Make sure that the waveform measuring equipment

connected to this device's output terminal (BNC) is
equipped with a protective earthing with double­insulation construction.

Notes on Use

Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain

the full benefits of the various functions.

DANGER

z If the waveform measuring instrument being

connected to the output terminal (BNC) on this
device is equipped with any other measurement
terminals, take the following precautions to ensure
that the other instrument does not form a bridge
between the probe and any hazardous live of a
part.

1. Isolate the terminal to which the probe is
connected from other terminals on the measuring
instrument using basic insulation

conforming to

the measurement category

, working voltage, and

pollution degree

requirements of the circuit being

tested.

2. If basic insulation

requirements cannot be met
between the terminal to which this device is
connected and other terminals of the measuring
instrument, make sure that the voltage input to
the measurement terminal does not exceed the
Separated Extra-Low Voltage Earthed (SELV-E)

.

3. Read and observe all warnings and precautions
relating to electrical safety for the measuring
instrument being connected to the probe.

Refer to the following standards regarding the
meanings of underlined terms.

IEC 61010-1
IEC 61010-031
IEC 61010-2-032

DANGER

z 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

z 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 non­ground potential. Otherwise, short-circuit current
will flow through the 3269 or 3272, or this device
from the ground terminal, which could cause an
electrical accident or damage.

WARNING

z Do not allow the device to get wet, and do not take

measurements with wet hands. This may cause an
electric shock.

CAUTION

z To avoid damage to the device, protect it from vibration

or shock during transport and handling, and be
especially careful to avoid dropping.

z Do not store or use the device where it could be

exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature, humidity,
or condensation. Under such conditions, the device
may be damaged and insulation may deteriorate so
that it no longer meets specifications.

z 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.

z 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.

z 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.

z The matching surfaces of the sensor head are

precision ground, and should be treated with care. If
these surfaces are scratched, performance may be
impaired.

z 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.

z To avoid damaging the sensor cable and power supply

cable, do not bend or pull the cables.
