value that causes the digital display to show a “1” as the least-signicant digit.
Operating Precautions
Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full benets of
the various functions.
DANGER
• Do not use the unit beyond its rated and specication ranges. Doing
so could make the unit break or heat up, possibly resulting in bodily
injury.
• The sensor's maximum measurable current generally varies with
the frequency, and this restricts the current that can be measured
continuously with derating. Do not use the unit to measure currents
that exceed the derating. Doing so could cause heat emission from
the sensor, which could result in a malfunction, cause re or burn
injury.
• Persons wearing electronic medical devices such as a pacemaker
should not use the Z5004 Magnetic Strap. The Z5004 Magnetic
Strap could interfere with electrical medical devices, and should be
kept away. The medical device's operation could be compromised,
posing risk to the wearer's life.
Do not use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or a DC-AC inverter that
produces rectangular waves or pseudo-sine-wave output to power the unit.
Doing so may damage the unit.

HIOKI CM7290A961-03
Overview
1.1 Overview and Features
The CM7290 Display Unit is to be used with a current sensor equipped with a Hioki
PL14 output connector. It will automatically recognize the current sensor when
it is connected, and the range and output rate will be automatically set. Set the
measurement mode to AC or DC so that the unit can display or output values.
The unit supports simultaneous dual displays – for example, of the measured value
and output rate during output, or of the current measured value and maximum value.
You can clamp the sensor in high or conned locations, and view the display close
at hand. And even when you're in low-light conditions, the backlight feature will allow
easier reading of displayed values.
With the optional output cord, waveforms, rms vales and so forth can be output in
analog form to a recorder, logger or power meter for waveform observation, long-term
recording, power analysis or similar application.
Supports 2 power sources – AC adapter and batteries – for prolonged measurement.
The unit can be turned on by powering an AC adapter, so installation into other
devices is made possible.
The CM7291 also provide Bluetooth communications functionality, allowing
measurement data to be monitored and logged from a smartphone or tablet.
CAUTION
Because the CM7291 emits radio waves, an approval or a license issued by a
country or region where it is used is required to use it. Use in a country or region
where it has not been approved may be subject to nes or other penalties as a
violation of applicable laws or regulations.
For more information about approved countries/regions for use, see the attached
“Precautions Concerning Use of Equipment That Emits Radio Waves” or visit
Hioki’s website.

Connecting the Sensor
HIOKI CM7290A961-03
2.2 Connecting the Sensor
When the optional current sensor (output connector: Hioki PL14 Connector) (p. 43)
is connected, its type will be automatically recognized, and settings that match the
sensor will be congured automatically (measurement mode, current rating, output
rate).
Insert the output connector of the sensor so that the arrow is aligned with the arrow
on the sensor input connector of the unit.
Connecting a sensor consuming a large current while operating the unit on battery
power with low battery voltage may cause the unit to shut off due to its inability to
supply sufcient power to the sensor.

HIOKI CM7290A961-03
2.3 Supplying Power
Installing/replacing the batteries
When using the unit for the rst time, be sure to install two LR6 alkaline battery (AA)
batteries. Also, before measurement, check that there is adequate power in the
batteries. If there is not, replace the batteries. Batteries can be replaced with the
protector installed. Disconnect the sensor from the conductor to be measured, before
replacing the batteries.
See “Batteries” (p. 10).
IMPORTANT
When
possible.
• When batteries are installed, the unit will switch to battery power when the supply
of power from the AC adapter is interrupted, allowing continued measurement.
(Duration of operation in this state will depend on the sensor connected and the
remaining power of the batteries.)
• After use, always turn OFF the power.
You will need: Phillips screwdriver (No. 2), LR6 alkaline battery (AA) ×2
indicator is lit, the batteries are low. Please replace the batteries as soon as

Connecting the AC adapter (optional)
Be sure to read “AC adapter” (p. 9) and “Handling of the cables” (p. 10) before
connecting the AC adapter.
Use the optional AC adapter to supply power from an outlet. When power is supplied
via the AC adapter, the unit will run on AC adapter drive even if batteries are installed.

Connecting to an external DC power supply
Be sure to read “Handling of the cables” (p. 10) before connecting the power
supply.
When connecting to an external DC power supply, make sure that the supply has the
correct rating and uses a compatible connector.
See “Power supply” (p. 41).
When power is supplied from an external DC supply, that power supply will receive
priority and the unit will operate on power from the external DC power supply even if
batteries have been installed.
Connection Example
When using an external DC power supply
(other than the optional AC adapter), be sure
to use a power supply connector that qualies
as JEITA RC5320A Classication 3
(EIAJ RC5320A TYPE 3) (grip portion
external diameter not more than φ10 mm).

The unit must have an exclusive power supply – the optional AC adapter, or an
isolated DC power supply satisfying the power supply specications – that is used
for the unit alone. If the power source is shared with the measurement circuitry, the
zero-point for output values will shift when the load on the measurement circuitry
uctuates, making accurate measurement impossible.

If the unit is to be used in combination with another device, use the output cord
(optional) to connect to the external device.
If the sensor cable is not long enough, use an extension cable (optional).
See “Options” (p. 2).
Insert the output cord all the way into the unit. Otherwise the contacting will be poor

Maintenance and Service
Cleaning
IMPORTANT
Never use solvents such as benzene, alcohol, acetone, ether, ketones, thinners or
gasoline, as they can deform and discolor the case.
• Dirt on the mating surfaces of the sensor's jaws will degrade measurement,
so keep the surfaces clean by gently wiping with a soft cloth.
• Clean the display area by wiping it gently with a soft dry cloth.
Calibration
How often you should calibrate the unit will depend on the usage conditions and the
environment. Determine a calibration interval that is suited to your usage conditions
and environment, and request to have calibration done by Hioki.
Precautions when transporting the unit
• To avoid damage to the unit, remove the accessories and optional equipment from
the unit. Moreover, be sure to pack in a double carton. Damage occurring during
transportation is not covered by the warranty.
• When sending the unit for repair, be sure to include details of the problem.
Disposal
Dispose of the unit in accordance with local regulations.
