Battery Pack Installation
Another Hioki 9447 BATTERY PACK can be
installed in the Digital I/O unit to supplement the
battery pack in the instrument, approximately
doubling the operating time.
For details of battery pack installation, refer to the
Memory HiLogger Instruction Manual.

Logic Inputs
WARNING
The logic inputs share common ground with the instrument. Therefore,
electric shock or damage to the instrument could result if the source of
power supplied to the instrument by the AC adapter is not the same as that
supplied to the measurement object. Even if power is supplied from the
same source, potential difference can result from wiring conditions,
resulting in unintended current flow through the measurement lead and
measurement object which could damage the instrument.
To avoid such hazards, use only power cords with two power
conductors plus a ground conductor for both the measurement object
and the instrument, and connect both cords to the same mains outlet
before connecting the leads to the measurement object.
