WARNING
This unit cannot be used on voltage lines of 600 Vrms. If the
voltage exceeds 600 VAC, there will be a short-circuit accident or
electrocution accident will result.
The maximum input voltage and current are 600 Vrms, 60 Arms. Do
not exceed the maximum input voltage and current. Doing so can
damage the unit or cause a serious accident.
The maximum rated voltage between input terminals and ground is
600 Vrms. Attempting to measure voltages exceeding 600 Vrms
with respect to ground could damage the instrument and result in
personal injury.
Always connect the powermeter input to the secondary side of the
breaker. On the secondary side of a breaker, even if the lines are
shorted the breaker can trip and prevent an accident. On the
primary side, however, the current capacity may be large, and in
the event of a short-circuit there may be a serious accident.
Before turning on the power, make sure that the voltage of the
power supply being used matches the supply voltage indicated on
the rear panel of the unit. If an attempt is made to use an improper
supply voltage, there is danger of damage to this unit and of lifethreatening risk to the operator.
In order to prevent electric shock and short-circuit accidents, shut
off the power to the line to be measured before connecting the
direct connection voltage and current cables to the terminals.
Be sure to connect the voltage input terminals or current input
terminals correctly. Measurement which is attempted with the
wiring connected incorrectly may cause damage to the unit or a
short-circuit.
Since the power switch is of a micro gap construction, always use
near an outlet.When not in use and when connecting a device to
be measured, make sure that the power cord is unplugged, or any
other means so that the unit is cut off from the power.
The unit is constructed so as to be connected to a ground line via
a three-core power cord that is supplied with the unit.
To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety
specifications of this instrument, connect the power cord provided
only to a 3-contact (two-conductor + ground) outlet.
Do not remove the case of the unit. There are components inside
carrying high voltages or becoming hot, and this could cause an
electric shock accident.
Do not use the unit where it may be exposed to corrosive or
explosive gases. The unit may be damaged, or explosion may
occur.
・ Before measurement, check the position of the measurement range.
The unit may be damaged if voltage or current at levels in excess of
the measurement limit is applied for a long time.
・ To avoid damage to the unit, do not short the output terminal and do
not input voltage to the output terminal.
・ Do not store or use the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight,
high temperatures, high humidity, or condensation. If exposed to such
conditions, the unit may be damaged, the insulation may deteriorate,
and the unit may no longer satisfy its specifications.
・ This unit is designed for indoor use and can be safely used at
temperatures ranging from 0℃ to 40℃.
・ To avoid damage to the unit, do not subject the equipment to
vibrations or shocks during transport or handling. Be especially careful
to avoid dropping the equipment.
・ Should the unit emit smoke, or a strange smell or strange sound,
immediately stop testing operations, power the unit off, and remove the
power cord from the outlet, shut off the circuit being tested,
disconnect the unit, and consult your HIOKI representative. Continued
use of the unit could lead to fire or electric shock accidents.
・ Do not insert foreign objects through the ventilation holes. Particularly
if metallic, liquid, or combustible substances get inside the case, this
may lead to fire or electric shock, or to malfunction.
・ Do not use the unit near any device which generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or near a static electrical charge, as these
may cause errors.
・ To prevent electric shock, do not allow the unit to become wet and do
not use the unit when your hands are wet.
・ This unit is not constructed to be waterproof or dustproof, so do not
use it in a very dusty environment or in one where it will get wet.
・ Do not place the unit on an unstable stand, or in an uneven location. It
may fall to the ground, or fall over, and either of these events may lead
to malfunction or accident.
・ Avoid treading on or pinching the cable so as not to damage the cable
sheaths.
・ Keep the cables well away from heat, to prevent the possibility of
melting the insulation.
・ For long-term storage, remove the power cord.
・ Do not use the unit near any device which generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or near a static electrical charge, as these
may cause errors.
・ The recommended calibration interval for this instrument is six months.
・ This unit is electrically configured specifically for AC currents. Thus signals
with elements of DC currents (such as all-wave rectifier) cannot be
measured.
・ For accurate measurement, allow the unit to warm up for more than half an
hour before starting operation.
・ Note that limits are specified for the range in which voltage and current level
accuracies are guaranteed.
・ The values for apparent power (S), reactive power (Q), power factor (λ)
and phase angle (φ) produced by this unit are computed from the measured
voltage (U), current (I), and active power (P), using the expressions given in
the specifications. The values given may be different from those measured
with an instrument of different operating principles or using different
calculation expressions.
・ This machine's integration value is derived from the measured values of the
electrical current and electrical power and calculated by the software. The
integration value may be different from other instruments that have differing
response times, sample rate or calculation expressions.
・ Accurate measurement may be impossible in locations subject to strong
external magnetic fields, such as transformers and high-current conductors,
or in locations subject to strong external electric fields, such as radio
transmission equipment.
・ Due to the internal circuitry, when measuring objects that contain certain
specific wave lengths, the indicated value of power may periodically shift
and not settle down. (Specifically, this occurs when measuring distorted
waves containing a large amount of high frequency waves which are the
even number multiple of 2.44 kHz.)
・ When the input is less than 0.1% of the measurement range for current and
less than 40μA, the indication is forcibly set to zero. It is also set to zero
when the input is less than 0.2% of the measurement range for voltage, or
less than 0.1% for active power.
・ The 3332 has a frequency measurement function, but this may produce
unexpected results on a waveform which is severely distorted.
・ When a maximum rated voltage to earth of high frequency is applied (as for
example when measuring the secondary side of an inverter), errors may
occur in the measured values.
・ To ensure the accuracy of measurement be careful not to let the unit
overheat. (Keep away from sources of heat, and provide sufficient ventilation
space around the unit, or when rack-mounted provide a cooling fan.)
・ This instrument may cause interference if used in residential areas. Such use
must be avoided unless the user takes special measures to reduce
electromagnetic emissions to prevent interference to the reception of radio
and television broadcasts.

If the measured line is active when the 3332 is tuned on, the 3332 may
malfunction or Err105 may be displayed. Thus, turn on the 3332 first and
check that Err105 is not displayed, and then turn on the measured line.
Do not exceed the maximum input voltage and current. Doing so can
damage the unit or cause a serious accident.
The maximum rated voltage between input terminals and ground is
600 Vrms. Attempting to measure voltages exceeding 600 Vrms with
respect to ground could damage the instrument and result in
personal injury.
Always connect the powermeter input to the secondary side of the
breaker. On the secondary side of a breaker, even if the lines are
shorted the breaker can trip and prevent an accident. On the
primary side, however, the current capacity may be large, and in the
event of a short-circuit there may be a serious accident.
To avoid electric shock accidents, do not touch the input terminals
of the unit on live lines, which is exposed.
In order to prevent electric shock and short-circuit accidents, shut
off the power to the line to be measured before connecting the
direct connection voltage and current cables to the terminals.
Be sure to connect the voltage input terminals or current input terminals
correctly. Measurement which is attempted with the wiring connected
incorrectly may cause damage to the unit or a short-circuit.

If an attempt is made to use an improper supply voltage, there is
danger of damage to this unit and of life-threatening risk to the
operator.
Before turning on the power, make sure that the voltage of the power
supply being used matches the supply voltage indicated on the rear
panel of the unit.
The unit is constructed so as to be connected to a ground line via a
three-core power cord that is supplied with the unit.
To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety
specifications of this instrument, connect the power cord provided
only to a 3-contact (two-conductor + ground) outlet.
When using an external voltage transformer, do not leave the
secondary side short-circuited. If a voltage is applied to the primary
while the secondary is short-circuited,a high current will flow
through the secondary, which could lead to fire or malfunction.
When using an external current transformer, do not leave the
secondary side open-circuit. If a current flows through the primary
while the secondary is open-circuit, this can generate a high voltage
on the secondary, which is extremely dangerous.
・ To avoid electric shock, the wiring which is used for making the
connections to the current input terminals should have sufficient
current carrying capacity and insulation.
・ This unit is designed for indoor use and can be safely used at
temperatures ranging from 0℃ to 40℃.
・ Do not store or use the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight,
high temperatures, high humidity, or condensation. If exposed to such
conditions, the unit may be damaged, the insulation may deteriorate,
and the unit may no longer satisfy its specifications.
・ This unit is not constructed to be waterproof or dustproof, so do not
use it in a very dusty environment or in one where it will get wet.
・ Do not use the unit near any device which generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or near a static electrical charge, as these
may cause errors.
・ To prevent electric shock, do not allow the unit to become wet and do
not use the unit when your hands are wet.
NOTE
・ This unit is designed only for AC measurements. Significant DC components
(such as full-wave rectifier output) cannot be measured.
・ Because the polarity of the voltage and current will affect electrical
measurement, be sure the wiring is connected correctly.
・ If the voltage and current of the device being measured exceeds the
measurement range of this unit, please use an outside-connected PT, or CT.
The measurement value can be directly read if the scaling function is used.
・ When using an outside connected trans (PT, CT), the phase differences of
those may cause differences in the electrical measurement. If a precise
electrical measurement is necessary, use a PT or CT that has only a small
phase difference from the wiring's wave length area that is to be used.
・ Make sure that the wiring of the electric wires are separated from this unit,
so that there is no effect on this unit from an outside magnetic field.
・ If the measured line is active when the 3332 is tuned on, the 3332 may
malfunction or Err105 may be displayed. Thus, turn on the 3332 first and
check that Err105 is not displayed, and then turn on the measured line.
Always connect the power meter to the secondary side of a breaker.
On the secondary side of a breaker, even if the lines are shorted the
breaker can trip and prevent an accident. On the primary side,
however, the current capacity may be large, and in the event of a
short-circuit there may be a serious accident.
Shut off the line power supply before connecting the voltage cable
and current cable.
If the voltage cables should be detached and touch the two wires, a
shorting accident or electric shock may result.
The maximum input voltage and current are 600 VAC, 60 A. Do not
measure an input in excess of these limits, as the resulting heat
buildup may damage the unit or cause a short-circuit accident.
Once the connections are made, do not touch the input terminals of
the voltage and current transformers. There are exposed live parts,
and a danger of electric shock or serious accident.
Check that the terminals are tightened securely. If the connections
should become detached, there is a danger of a short-circuit or
electric shock accident. Additionally, if the connections are not
properly tightened, the contact resistance increases, which may lead
to the generation of heat, or fire.
WARNING
In order to prevent electric shock and short-circuit accidents, shut
off the power to the line to be measured before connecting the
direct connection voltage and current cables to the terminals.
Be sure to connect the voltage input terminals or current input
terminals correctly. Measurement which is attempted with the wiring
connected incorrectly may cause damage to the unit or a shortcircuit.
Do not short circuit between voltage input terminals, when making a
connection. If not, a shorting accident or electric shock may result.
To prevent accidental electrocution or short-circuits, make
connections to the voltage and current input terminals using only
insulated wire that is terminated with pressure-fitted terminals. (The
voltage and current input terminals have an M6 axial diameter.)
Before switching on power for the line to be measured, check that
the connections and the wiring are not shorting between the voltage
input terminals. If there is a short circuit, a electrical shock and or
short circuit accident will occur.

Once the connections are made, do not touch the input terminals of
the voltage and current transformers. There are exposed live parts,
and a danger of electric shock or serious accident.
Check that the terminals are tightened securely. If the connections
should become detached, there is a danger of a short-circuit or
electric shock accident. Additionally, if the connections are not
properly tightened, the contact resistance increases, which may lead
to the generation of heat, or fire.

CAUTION
NOTE
To avoid electric shock, the wiring which is used for making the
connections to the current input terminals should have sufficient
current carrying capacity and insulation.
・ By setting the PT ratio and the CT ratio, it is possible to directly read the
first side of the PT and CT. For details, refer to Section 4.7, "Setting the PT
and CT Ratios and SC."
・ The secondary side of the PT or CT must be grounded for safely. (Since
most previously attached PT and CT's are already grounded, please check
before grounding.)
・ When using an outside connected trans (PT,CT), the phase differences of
those may cause differences in the electrical measurement.If a precise
electrical measurement is necessary, use a PT or CT that has only a small
phase difference from the wiring's wave length area that is to be used.
・ Depending on the input level, power meter losses may affect measured
values. Refer to Section 2.3.3 for how to make connections that minimize
power meter losses.
The power meter can be connected either using the method shown below in
Fig.1, with the voltage measurement terminal connected on the load side, or
as shown in Fig.2, with the current measurement terminal connected on the

The method of connection should be shown so as to minimize the loss;
which connection is better depends on the relative magnitude of the current
and voltage. For example, measuring 600 V, 20 A supply:
Fig.1 loss = (600 [V])2÷ 2[MΩ] = 0.18 [VA]
Fig.2 loss = (20 [A])2× 2[mΩ] = 0.8 [VA]
In this case, therefore, the connection shown in Fig.1 should be used.
Next consider the case of measuring 600 V, 1 A system:
Fig.1 loss = (600 [V])2÷ 2[MΩ] = 0.18 [VA]
Fig.2 loss = (1 [A])2×2[mΩ] = 0.002 [VA]
In this case, the connection shown in Fig 2 allows more accurate
Before turning on the power, make sure that the voltage of the power
supply being used matches the supply voltage indicated on the AC
power inlet of the unit.
If an attempt is made to use an improper supply voltage, there is
danger of damage to this unit and of life-threatening risk to the
operator.
The unit is constructed so as to be connected to a ground line via a
three-core power cord that is supplied with the unit.
To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety
specifications of this instrument, connect the power cord provided
only to a 3-contact (two-conductor + ground) outlet.
The power switch has a microgap construction, and it is therefore
essential to use it close to a power outlet. When the unit is not in
use, and while making connections to the circuit being tested, isolate
the unit electrically from the power supply, for example by removing
the power cord plug from the outlet.
・ When the power is turned off, do not apply voltage or current to the
voltage input terminals and the current input terminals. Doing so may
damage the unit.
・ Should the unit emit smoke, or a strange smell or strange sound,
immediately stop testing operations, power the unit off, and remove the
power cord from the outlet, shut off the circuit being tested,
disconnect the unit, and consult your HIOKI representative. Continued
use of the unit could lead to fire or electric shock accidents.
NOTE
Before measuring, please perform a warm-up at least for 30 minutes after the
power is turned on.
1. Make sure that the voltage of the power supply being used matches the
supply voltage indicated on the rear panel. (power supply voltage 100 V to
240 V)
2. Confirm the power switch on the front panel is OFF.
3. Connect the power cord supplied to AC inlet on the rear panel.
4. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded (3-pin) outlet that has a safety
grounded terminal.
5. Turn the power switch on.
6. All Indicators on the front panel are displayed and the self testing start.
Refer to Section 2.5, "Self Test" for details. This test ends about for 10
seconds.
To enable stable measurements in the low frequency range, there are two
response settings available.
FAST (response time: 0.2 to 0.3 seconds)
This allows stable measurement for a constant input of at least 45 Hz, but at
frequencies below 45 Hz the measured value fluctuates. When power
transients or fluctuations occur, they are followed.
SLOW (response time: 5 to 15 seconds)
This allows stable measurement down to 1 Hz, but sudden fluctuations
cannot be followed.

(1) For voltage measurement this unit has three rectifier circuits. Before
measurement, select the following type.
① RMS Measure true RMS value
② MEAN Measure average rectifier effective value converted for
voltage, true RMS value for current
③ MEAN+FILTER Measure average rectifier effective value converted for
voltage with a 500Hz low-pass filter (L.P.F.), true RMS
value for current.
(2) The rectifier type selected displays on rectifier display.
(3) Pressing the RECTIFIER key changes the rectifier type.
Select suitable rectifier type repeating these operation.

・ Both "average rectifier effective value converted (MEAN)" and "real
effective value (RMS)" indicate correct effective value. Howeve r, only "real
effective value" indicates correct value for the input which include distorted
wave.
・ When "average rectifier effective value converted with 500Hz low-pass filter
(L.P.F.) (MEAN+FILTER)" is set, a 500Hz filter is applied during
measurement. With this filter, inverter carrier elements are eliminated for a
closer measurement of the fundamental frequency. However, the power
computation circuit uses input waveform as is, so the measurement value
does not differ when RMS, MEAN, or MEAN+FILTER is chosen.
Moreover, accuracy is not guaranteed for measurement with MEAN+FILTER
of high frequency input over 60Hz.
・ During integrating (with RUN lit or flashed), the rectifier type cannot be
changed ("Err.012"). Before changing the rectifier type, press the RESET
key to reset the integration (RUN goes off).
・ During holding the displays (with HOLD lit or flashed), the rectifier type
cannot be changed ("Err.016"). Before changing the rectifier type, press the
HOLD key to release the hold state (HOLD goes off).
・ When the rectifier type is changed, read the measurement value after the
condition of internal circuit is stable (for 5 seconds or more).

When the range select function is set (SEL lamp is lit), ranges that haven't
been set are skipped.
"AUTO" means auto-ranging function.
Shift level for auto-ranging function shows as follows;
① When the measured value exceeds 110% for range: range up
② When "OVER" illuminates: range up
③ When the measured value is under full scale of 30% and under 90% of the
lower range: range down
The 3332 can quickly move to the most suitable range through internal
circuitry. Therefore, when the auto-ranging function is on, the 3332 will not
necessarily go to the next range automatically. (However, only on the current
side). The range which was already set to OFF is skipped. To release the
auto-ranging function, press the

keys once.
NOTE
・ In auto-ranging function sometimes range goes on up and down according to
distortion of input wave or size of measuring value. In this case, release
auto-ranging function and select range manually.
・ The current-measuring range will not automatically shift down unless the
peak measured value is below 90% of the high end of the lower range.
・ When auto-ranging is enabled, depending on the distortion of the input
waveform and the size of the measured values, range switching may be
unable to stabilize.
In this case, cancel auto-ranging and select the range manually. If a similar
type of behavior occurs with a manually selected range, switch to the next
higher range.
・ The OVER indicator is lit when peak value of voltage input and current input
waveform are over six times for range. In this case, internal circuit works
abnormally. Select the range not to lit the OVER indicator.
・ Even if it is either voltage or current, when massive input that will display
out of range (o.r.) is applied, sometimes other measuring values become
abnormal. Be sure to select ranges for voltage and/or current that will not be
out of range or lit the OVER indicator.
・ Apparent power shows out of range (o.r) when either voltage or current
shows same display.
・ Reactive power, power factor and phase angle shows out of range (o.r.) when
either active power and apparent power shows same display.
・ Pow e r factor and phase angle shows out of range (o.r.) when apparent power is
0.
・ If the function's crest factor is exceeded (OVER is lit), the indicated data is
not correct.
・ After changing range, wait until the internal circuitry settles (5 seconds)
3.5.2Current Waveform Peak Hold Function and Maximum

(5) While the peak hold function is activated, for other measurement items the
unit shows the maximum value since the peak hold function was activated.
Pressing the
HOLD
key also resets these maximum values to the present
instantaneous values.
・ The displayed peak value or maximum value is not necessarily measurements
at the same time.
・ For all items, the absolute values are compared.
・ When the averaging function is used, the maximum value is taken from the
averaged values, but the peak value is taken from the original values before
averaging.
・ Pressing the
SHIFT→HOLD
keys while the hold function is active (HOLD
indicator lit) switches to the peak hold function.
・ Power factor or phase angle "o.r" indications are treated as a power factor of
zero or phase angle of zero. (As minimum values) A frequency "o.r"
indication or "-----" indication is treated as a frequency of 0 Hz. (As
minimum value) For other items, an "o.r" indication is treated as a maximum
value.
・ The integration value is update during peak hold.

4.3.4Notes on Integration
(1) When starting integration, auto range setting of voltage and current is
canceled and the range at starting point is fixed. It is necessary to set the
range so that it will not be out of range during integrating.
If the input of current or active power for channels exceeds 130% of range
during integration, the value for the channel is integrated as input of
130%f.s.
The Ah or Wh unit indication flashes to indicate that an out-of-range value
has occurred. This continues flashing until the integration value is reset.
(7) When the integrate value achieves ±999999 MAh (MWh) or when the
integrate time achieves 10000 hours, integrating cannot restart. ("Err.014" is
displayed).
In this case, press the
indicator off)
(8) When the GP-IB setting is "Pr." (printer mode), and a GP-IB listen-only
printer is connected, at the same time that integration values start to be sent
to the printer, measurement values can be printed at regular intervals. If,
however, communications are lost because of any fault, "Err. 023" is
displayed. Refer to Section 4.8, "Setting the Printer Output."
(9) When using the RS-232C interface, set the unit to printer mode and connect
RS-232C printer, measuring value are able to print according to every certain
interval simultaneously as starting integration. Refer to Section 4.8, "Setting
the Printer Output." If, however, communications are lost because of any
fault, "Err. 023" is displayed.
(10) When doing system resetting, integrating is stopped and the equipment is
reset to initial condition. For system resetting refer to Section 6.2, "System
Resetting."
(11) When the power is cut off during integrating, integration starts again after
returned. If the interface is Pr. (printer) mode, the data, integrate elapsed
time, and comment "POWER FAILURE" are printed out.
When dealing with input that changes greatly, an average measurement value
is displayed.
This unit does measurement averaging by the number of settings.

(2) When integration has started, D/A output begins to change. When integration has stopped,
the last D/A output is maintained. When integration has restarted, D/A output begins to
change again.
(3) When the integration value is reset, D/A output returns to 0V.
(4) When the integration value exceeds ±5 V, D/A output returns to 0V and then begins to
change again.
(5) If the displayed value is held (by the HOLD function) during integration, the D/A output will be
held, too. When the display HOLD is cancelled, D/A output begins to change again according
to integration value.
NOTE
・ Maximum output is 130% (±6.5 V) of range.
・ In the case of plus out of range, about 6.5 V are outputted, for minus out of range, about -6.5 V
are outputted.
・ During holding or averaging, the value displayed is outputted.
・ D/A exchanging rate is about five times/second. There is a filter in the output circuit, and the
response time is about 0.5 seconds.
・ When integrating by external control, the set range multiplied by integrate time will be 5 Vf.s.

It makes no difference if the larger of the two values is set in display a or b.
The two values are compared, and the larger one is made the HI limit value;
the smaller one is made the LO limit value.
(1) Operation when the two limit values are set with different values
1. When the measurement value is larger than the HI limit value, the HI lamp
lights and the HI relay turns on.
2. When the measurement value is smaller than the LO limit value, the LO
lamp lights and the LO relay turns on.
3. When the measurement value is above the LO limit value and below the HI
standard value, the IN lamp lights and the IN relay turns on.
4. When the measurement value is same as limit value, the IN lamp lights.
(2) Operation when the two limit values are set with the same value
1. When the measurement value is above the limit value, the HI lamp lights
and the HI relay turns on.
2. When the measurement value is smaller than the limit value, the LO lamp
lights and the LO relay turns on.
3. When the measurement value is same as limit value, the LO lamp lights.
(3) The comparator during averaging operation
Carries out comparator decisions using averaged data.
(4) When "o.r" or "S.Err" is displayed, the HI lamp is lit and the HI relay turns

operate (See chapter 7, External Control Terminal and Output Terminal).
(8) Until the measurement value has been recognized by auto-ranging, the
previous state is saved.
(9) The comparator operates using displayed values, so when HOLD is active,
It is possible to check instantaneous values of comparator items while
displaying limit values of comparator items. Moreover, instantaneous values
of other measurement items can also be displayed singly.

・ Output resistance of output terminals is about 100 Ω.
・ Always use the A.GND terminal (pin 1, 10, 14, 17, 22) for the common of
output terminal.
・ Analog output and D/A output voltage is ±5 VDC f.s. for each range. If
scaling or (PT, CT, SC) are being used, the value reached by multiplying the
range times scaling value becomes ±5 VDC.
・ When using the measuring range as auto ranging, analog output rate changes
as range changing. Be careful of making mistake for range conversion when
recording on the such line measuring value changes hard. In such
measurement we advice you to measure in fixed ranging.
・ The analog output response time is 0.2 to 0.3 seconds (FAST), 5 to 15
seconds (SLOW). Note that if there are fluctuations on the line being
measured which happen faster than the response time of the unit, errors in
the output voltage may occur.
When the response is FAST, analog output below 45 Hz includes ripple, and
cannot be used as a correct wave form.
・ Always use shielded cables for output and for external control.

When the comparator function is ON, either HI, IN or LO is conducted to
COM, depending on the decision results of the comparator. When the
comparator function is OFF, neither HI, IN, nor LO is conducted.
Comparator decisions are made during display updates (approx. 5 times
/sec.).
However, it is necessary to wait until display becomes stable after inputting
the measurement signal to carry out a real decision because of the
relationship between 3332 analog response and display switching (analog

However, because the time to reach a steady decision level can vary due to
load and power fluctuations, we recommend that an appropriate wait time be
determined by experimentation with actual measurements.

When the COMPHOLD1 terminal is set to LO, the relay output of
comparator CH1 is put in the Hold state. During this time, decisions are not
made by the comparator.
For the COMPHOLD2 terminal, the output for CH2 is put in the Hold state.
The external control terminals accept a 0/5 V logic signal or a relay contact
short/open signal to control the unit.
For details of the settings, refer to Sections 4.9, "Setting the Interface",
Section 4.3, "Setting the Integration", and Section 4.8, "Setting the Printer
