Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Hioki 3280-10F AC Clamp Meter. To obtain maximum performance from
the instrument, please read this manual rst, and
keep it handy for future reference.

Safety Notes

This instrument is designed to conform to IEC 61010 Safety Standards, and has been thoroughly tested for safety prior to shipment. However, using the instrument in a way not described in this manual may negate the provided safety features. Before using the instrument, be certain to carefully read the following safety notes.
Notation
In this document, the risk seriousness and the
hazard levels are classied as follows.
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
Imminent risk of operator death or serious injury
Potential for operator death or serious injury
Potential for minor operator injury or device damage or malfunction

DANGER
Measuring a location with a higher category number than the measurement category indicated on this device may result in a serious accident such as electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, do not touch the portion beyond the protective barrier during use.
Never apply voltage to the test leads when the resistance and continuity functions are selected. Doing so may damage the instrument and result in bodily injury. To avoid electrical accidents, remove power from the circuit before measuring.

Safety Notes
WARNING
Installing the instrument in inappropriate locations may cause a malfunction of instrument or may give rise to an accident. Avoid the following
locations:
Exposed to direct sunlight or high
temperature
Exposed to corrosive or combustible
gases
Exposed to a strong electromagnetic eld or electrostatic charge
Near induction heating systems (such as high-frequency induction heating systems and IH cooking equipment)
Susceptible to vibration
Exposed to water, oil, chemicals, or
solvents
Exposed to high humidity or
condensation
Exposed to high quantities of dust particles

Safety Notes
CAUTION
Do not place foreign objects between the
jaw tips (or exible loop couplings) or insert
foreign objects into the gaps of the jaws
(or exible loop couplings). Doing so may
worsen the performances of the sensor or interfere with clamping action.
Poor performance or damage from battery leakage could result. Observe the cautions listed below:
• Do not use batteries after their recommended expiry date.
• Do not allow weak batteries to remain in the instrument.
Replace batteries only with the specied type.
• Remove the batteries from the instrument if it is to be stored for a long time.
• The indicator lights up when the remaining battery capacity is low. In this case, the instrument's reliability is not guaranteed. Replace the battery immediately.
• To avoid battery depletion, turn the rotary switch OFF after use (the auto power save feature consumes a small amount of current).
EN-7

Inspection Before Measurement

Inspection Before Measurement
• Verify that the instrument operates normally to ensure that no damage occurred during storage
or shipping. If you nd any damage, contact your
authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
• If damage is suspected, check the section below before contacting your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
Check that the test lead is not broken.
1
Replace with the specied L9208 Test Lead.
Check that the resistance measurement and
2
continuity test operates normally.
Have the instrument repaired by the your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller. The instrument may have been subject to a voltage of greater than 600 V during resistance measurement or continuity testing.
Check that the battery voltage is not low.
3
Replace the batteries.
EN-8

Maintenance/Inspection

Maintenance/Inspection
Cleaning
• Measurements are degraded by dirt on the mating
surfaces of the jaw (or exible loop coupling), so
keep the surfaces clean by gently wiping with a soft, dry cloth.
• To clean the device, wipe it gently with a soft cloth moistened with water or mild detergent.
Wipe the LCD display gently with a soft, dry cloth.

Insert/Replace Batteries

Necessary tool: Phillips screwdriver and CR2032 Coin­shaped lithium battery
