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 pres ent 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 40 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

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.
• Use Hioki fixtures (option), etc.
Appendix 6 "Options" (p. A9)
See
• This device is adjusted for 1.5D-2V coaxial cable use. Using other cable
types may cause an increase in measurement errors.
• If all four terminals are disconnected, a meaningless number may be displayed on the unit.
• As this device has a four terminal configuration, always connect all 4 terminals’ shields in the vicinity of the sample. If you do not make a connection to
the 4 terminals’ shields in the vicinity of the sample, there is the possibility of
the measurement error becoming greater.
