Operating Precautions
Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full benefits of the various functions.
Preliminary Checks
Before using the unit 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.
Before using the unit, make sure that the insulation on the probes and
cables is undamaged and that no bare conductors are improperly
exposed. Using the unit in such conditions could cause an electric
shock, so contact your dealer or Hioki representative for replacements.

• Do not install the unit with any side except the bottom facing down.
• Vents must not be obstructed.
Handling this device
• To avoid damage to the unit, protect it from physical shock when transporting and handling. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock from dropping.
• Do not apply heavy downward pressure with the stand extended. The stand
could be damaged.
Never modify the unit. Only Hioki service engineers should disassemble or repair the unit. Failure to observe these precautions may result in
fire, electric shock, or injury.
If anything unusual happens during operation of the unit, turn off the
power switch immediately and contact any HIOKI service facility for
help, advice and service.
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.

Before connection and powering on
• Before turning the unit on, make sure the supply voltage matches
that indicated on the its power connector. Connection to an improper
supply voltage may damage the unit and present an electrical hazard.
• The power supply voltage for this unit is switchable. To avoid electrical accidents, check that the voltage selector is set correctly for the
supply voltage you are using.
See
Setting Procedure for the Power Voltage : 2.2 "Checking the Power Voltage"
(p. 18)
• To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifications
of this unit, connect the power cord provided only to a 3-contact (twoconductor + ground) outlet.
See
Connection Procedure : 2.3 "Connecting the Power Cord" (p. 19)
• To avoid shock and short circuits, turn off all power before connecting probes.

2.2 Checking the Power Voltage
2.2 Checking the Power Voltage
• Before turning the unit on, make sure the supply voltage matches that
indicated on the its power connector. Connection to an improper supply voltage may damage the unit and present an electrical hazard.
• The power of the unit can be changed with the voltage selectors. To
avoid an electric accident, use the unit with the voltage selectors set to
a voltage value that matches the voltage to be used.
• Make sure the power is off when you change the voltage with the voltage selectors. Changing the power voltage when the power is on may
result in damage to the unit or an electric accident.
• The maximum rated power is 110 VA.
• Replace the fuse only with one of the specified characteristics and voltage and current ratings. Using a non-specified fuse or shorting the
fuse holder may cause a life-threatening hazard.
Fuse type: 100 V 120 V setting: 250 V F1.0AL 20 mm x 5 mm dia
220 V 240 V setting: 250 V F0.5AL 20 mm x 5 mm dia
See
10.2 "Replacing the Power Fuse" (p. 265)
The power voltage specification of the unit is set as specified when the unit was
ordered.
You can select from 100 V, 120 V, 220 V, and 240 V.
You can determine which voltage is set by checking the positions of the voltage
selectors.
Refer to the diagram between the voltage selectors.

2.3 Connecting the Power Cord
1. Make sure the power switch of the unit is off.
2. Make sure the power voltage matches and connect the power
cord to the power inlet with voltage selectors on the rear of the
unit.
3. Insert the plug into the power outlet.
Connection
Procedure
2.3 Connecting the Power Cord
To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifications of
this unit, connect the power cord provide only to a 3-contact (two-conductor + ground) outlet.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the cord, when
unplugging it from the power outlet.
• Turn off the power before disconnecting the power cord.

• Do not apply a voltage to the measurement terminals. Doing so may damage
the unit.
• When disconnecting the
pulling off the connector. Forcibly pulling the connector without releasing the
lock, or pulling on the cable, can damage the connector.
• To avoid breaking the probes, do not bend or pull them.
• The ends of the probes are sharp. Be careful to avoid injury.
• Avoid stepping on or pinching cables, which could damage the cable insulation.

2.5 Turning the Power On and Off
Set the power switch on the rear of the unit to ON ( ).
All LEDs on the front panel light up.
The measurement conditions at startup are the same as
the last time the power was turned off.
After turning the power on, wait 60 minutes for the unit to
warm up before beginning measurement.
Power ON
Power OFF
Turning the power On
Turning the power Off
Set the power switch on the rear of the unit to OFF ( ).
The measurement conditions are saved when the power
is turned off.
Even if there is a power failure or other problem with the
power, the unit will be in the measurement mode prior to
the power failure after it recovers.

3.1 Pre-Operation Inspection
Basic
Measurement Chapter 3
3.1 Pre-Operation Inspection
To ensure safe use of the unit, be sure to check the following inspection
items prior to performing measurements.
Items Countermeasure See:
Inspect the unit, probe, and fixture
(Are there any damaged parts?)
Inspect the connection cord
(Is the covering cracked or is any
metal exposed?)
Check the power supply voltage
setting
(Does the setting of the voltage
selector on the rear of the unit
match the power supply voltage to
be used?)
When the power is turned on,
does the fan spin and do the
“3504-40, 3504-50, 3504-60” and
version number indications appear on the MAIN display area?
If there is damage:
Unit and fixture: Submit them for repairs.
Probe: Replace it with a new one.
Do not use a damaged cord because doing so
may result in electric shock. (Replace the cord
with a new one.)
Use of the unit outside the specified power supply voltage range may result in the unit being
damaged or an electrical fault. Set the voltage
selector in accordance with the power supply
voltage to be used.
If the fan does not spin or the “3504-40, 350450, 3504-60” and version number indications
are not displayed, the unit may be malfunctioning. Submit it for repairs.

Does the CV LED light up when
measurement is performed with
the measurement terminals
open while the probe and fixture
are connected to the unit?
(Range: AUTO)
Are the measurement values indicated on the unit normal when
measuring known samples such
as standard capacitors?
If the CV LED does not light up, the unit, probe,
or fixture may be malfunctioning.
Unit and fixture: Submit them for repairs.
Probe: Replace it with a new one.
If the measurement values are abnormal,
check/perform the following.
• Are the measurement conditions set appropriately?
• Perform open circuit and short circuit compensation again.
• Turn load compensation off.
• Set an appropriate trigger delay time or wait
time for trigger synchronous output function.
If the measurement values are still abnormal after you have checked/performed the above, the
unit, probe, or fixture may be malfunctioning.
Unit and fixture: Submit them for repairs.
Probe: Replace it with a new one.
