Measurement categories
This instrument complies with CAT safety requirements. To ensure safe operation of measurement instruments, IEC 61010 establishes safety standards for various electrical environments, categorized as CAT CAT CAT
, and called measurement categories. These are defined as follows.. : Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to an AC electrical
outlet by a power cord (portable tools, household appliances, etc.)
covers directly measuring electrical outlet receptacles.
CAT
CAT
: Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed installations)
connected directly to the distribution panel, and feeders from the distribution panel to outlets.
CAT
: The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and to the
power meter and primary overcurrent protection device (distribution
panel). Using a measurement instrument in an environment designated with a higher­numbered category than that for which the instrument is rated could result in a severe accident, and must be carefully avoided. Use of a measurement instrument that is not CAT-rated in CAT II to CAT IV measurement applications could result in a severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.

Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full benefits of the various functions.
DANGE
Probe Connection, Measurement Voltage Input Maximum input voltage ratings for the input units and the input
terminals of the 8826 are shown below. To avoid the risk of electric shock and damage to the units, take care not to exceed these ratings.
The maximum rated voltage to earth of the input units (voltage between input terminals and 8826 frame ground, and between inputs of other analog units) is shown below. To avoid the risk of electric shock and damage to the units, take care that voltage between channels and between a channel and ground does not exceed these ratings.

DANGE
The external I/O terminal and the unit have a common GND. The maximum rated voltage to earth rating applies also if an input
attenuator or similar is used. Ensure that voltage does not exceed these ratings.
When measuring power line voltages with the 8936 or 8938, always connect the probe to the secondary side of the circuit breaker. Connection to the primary side involves the risk of electric shock and damage to the units.
Before using the instrument, make sure that the insulation on the connection cords is undamaged and that no bare conductors are improperly exposed. Using the instrument under such conditions could result in electrocution. Replace the connection cords specified by Hioki.
To prevent an electric shock accident, confirm that the white or red portion (insulation layer) inside the cable is not exposed. If a color inside the cable is exposed, do not use the cable.
Logic Probe Connection The logic input and 8826 Unit share a common ground. Therefore, if powe
is supplied to the measurement object of the logic probe and to the 8826 from different sources, an electric shock or damage to the equipment may result. Even if power is supplied from the same system, if the wiring is such that a potential difference is present between the grounds, current will flow through the logic probe so that the measurement object and 8826 could be damaged. We therefore recommend the following connection method to avoid this kind of result. Refer to Section 2.5 for details. (1) Before connecting the logic probe to the measurement object, be sure
that power is supplied from the same outlet box to the measuremen object and the 8826 using the supplied grounded 2-wire power cord.
(2) Before connecting the logic probe to the measurement object, connec
the ground of the measurement object to the 8826 ground terminal. Also in this case, power should be supplied from the same source. Refer to Section 2.2 for grounding terminal details.

WARNIN
Replacing the input unitsTo avoid electric shock accident, before removing or replacing an input
module, confirm that the instrument is turned off and that the power cord, connection cords, and thermocouples are disconnected.
To avoid the danger of electric shock, never operate the instrument with
an input module removed. To use the instrument after removing an input module, install a blank panel over the opening of the removed module.
Preliminary ChecksBefore using the instrument 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 instrument, make sure that the insulation on the
connection cords is undamaged and that no bare conductors are improperly exposed. Using the instrument under such conditions could result in electrocution. Replace the connection cords specified by Hioki
Power supply connectionsBefore turning the instrument on, make sure the source voltage
matches that indicated on the instrument’s power connector. Connection to an improper supply voltage may damage the instrument and present an electrical hazard.
Grounding the unitTo avoid electric shock and ensure safe operation, connect the power
cable to a grounded (3-contact) outlet. (refer to Section 2.2).
Usage Precautions for the Internal MO Drive (option)Please do not attempt to disassemble the MO drive.Laser radiation can be emitted when the MO drive is open. Avoid
looking directly into the laser when the MO drive is open. Maximum laser output is 50 mW (at 685 nm, pulsed).
laser warning label is attached to the bottom of the 8826 Uni
efer to Section 1.2 for the label location.

CAUTIO
Installation environmentThis instrument should be installed and operated indoors only, between 5 and
40and 35 to 80% RH.
Do not store or use the instrument where it could be exposed to direct
sunlight, high temperature or humidity, or condensation. Under such conditions, the instrument may be damaged and insulation may deteriorate so that it no longer meets specifications.
To avoid electric shock, do not allow the instrument to get wet, and do not
use it when your hands are wet.
Do not use the instrument where it may be exposed to corrosive or
combustible gases. The instrument may be damaged or cause an explosion.
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 powering on
The microgap power switch construction necessitates that the instrument be
used near a power outlet. When not in use and while making connections to the circuit to be tested, disconnect the instrument from the power source by unplugging it from the outlet.
Using a connection cable
■ ・ Use only the specified connection cord. Using a non-specified cable may
result in incorrect measurements due to poor connection or other reasons.
Storing
■ ・ When the unit is not to be used for an extended period, set the head
up/down lever to the "head up" position. This will protect the printer head and prevent deformation of the rubber roller.
Precautions on carrying this equipment
The terminal guard of the equipment protects the inputs. Do not hold this
guard when carrying the equipment. To carry this equipment, use the handle. See section 1.2.
Shipping
Remove the printer paper from the unit. If the paper is left in the unit, paper
support parts may be damaged due to vibrations.
To avoid damage to the instrument, be sure to remove the floppy disk, MO
disk, PC card, and SCSI cable before shipping.

NOTE
Using a printerAvoid using the printer in hot, humid environments, as this can greatly reduce
printer life.
Recording paper
■ ・ This unit uses a thermal printer. The recording paper supplied has
characteristics finely tuned for use with the printer. Using recording paper of a different specification may not only result in impaired printing quality, but even prevent the printer from operating. Always use the HIOKI specified instrument.
Printing is not possible if the recording paper is loaded wrong-side up. (See
Section 2.8)
