Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the HIOKI Model CT9667 Flexible Clamp on
Sensor. To obtain maximum performance from the device, please read
this manual first, and keep it handy for future reference.
Initial Inspection
When you receive the device, in spect it carefully to ensure th at no damage occurred during shipping. If damage is evident, or if it fails to operate according to the specifications, contact your authorized Hioki
distributor or reseller.
Overview
The CT9667 measures large currents of up to 5000 A AC.
The hollow core coil makes the sensor unit highly flexible, allowing it to
be used for clamping in narrow spaces with crowded wiring.

Preliminary Checks
Before using the device for the first time, verify that it operates normally
to ensure that no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you
find any damage, contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
• Before using th e device, make sure that the insulation on the cables is undamaged and that no bare
conductors are improperly exposed. Using the
device in such conditions could cause an electric
shock, so contact your authorized Hioki distributor
or reseller for repair.
• To avoid short circuits and potentially life-threatening hazards, never attach the device to a circuit that
operates at more than 1000 V AC.
• This device should only be connected to the secondary side of a breaker, so the breaker can prevent an
accident if a short circuit occurs. Connections
should never be made to the primary side of a
breaker, because unrestricted current flow could
cause a serious accident if a short circuit occurs.
• The maximum input current is 10,000 A. Attemptin g
to measure current in excess of the maximum input
could destroy the device and result in personal
injury or death.
• The maximum rated voltage between input te rminals
and the ground is as follows;
(CAT III) 1000 Vrms AC
(CAT IV) 600 Vrms AC
Attempting to measure voltages exceeding this level
with respect to ground could damage the device and
result in personal injury.
• Do not allow the device to get wet, and do not take measurements with wet hands. This may cause an electric shock.
• To avoid electric shock when measuring live lines, wear
appropriate protective gear, such as insulated rubber gloves,
boots and a safety helmet.
• To avoid electric shock, stop using this device if it shows
either of the following signs of damage, and do not use the
device again until it has been repaired.
1.The yellow sensor cover is damaged, and any red part
is visible beneath the cover.
2.The yellow connector cover is damaged, and any
black part is visible beneath the cover.
• Before turning the devic e on, make sure the supply voltage
matches that indicated on the AC adapter. Connection to an
improper supply voltage may damage the device or AC
adapter and present an electrical hazard.
• Be careful to avoid dropping the d evice or otherwise subjecting
them to mechanical shock, which could damage the mating surfaces and adversely affect measurement.
• Do not slant the device or place it on top of an uneven surface.
Dropping or knocking down the device can cause injury or damage
to the device.
• Keep the clamp sensor connector free from foreign objects, which
could interfere with clamping action.
• Avoid stepping on or pinching cables, which could damage the cable insulation.
• To avoid damaging the cables, do not bend or pull them.
• Note that the device may be damaged if current exceeding the selected measurement range is applied for a long time.
Accurate measurement may be impossible in the presence of strong
magnetic fields, such as near transformers and high-current cond uctors, or in the presence of strong electromagnetic fields such as near
radio transmitters.

Names of Parts
Pre-Operation Inspection
Check the following before using the device.
Check Items Diagnose and Solution
Is there a broken connection
involving the connector or sensor
base?
Is the cable insulation torn?
When the switch is placed in any
position other than “OFF ,” does the
POWER LED turn green?
If you are unable to make measurements
properly, discontinue use and contact
your authorized Hioki distributor or
reseller.
If there is any damage, electric shock
may result. Discontinue use and have the
sensor repaired.
If the LED turns red, the remaining battery life is low. Replace the batteries
soon.
If the LED does not turn on, there is no
battery life remaining. Replace the batteries.
Measurement Procedures
• To avoid electric shock when replacing the batteries, first disconnect the clamp from the object to be measur ed, and then
remove the battery cover.
• After replacing the batteries, replace the battery cover and
screws before using the device.
• Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not short-circuit,
recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire.
• Handle and dispose of batte ries in accordanc e with local regulations.
Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.
Also, be careful to observe battery polarity during installation. Otherwise, poor performance or damage from battery leakage could
result.
• After use, always turn OFF the power.
• The [POWER] LED will turn red when battery voltage becomes low.
Replace the batteries as soon as possible.
• When using an AC adapter, always use the optional AC adapter.
• When using the AC adapter and batteries at the same time, the AC
adapter takes precedence. Switching between the AC adapter and
battery power during measurement may cause interference in the
output.
Attach the clamp around only one conductor. Single-phase (2-wire) or
three-phase (3-wire) cables clamped together will not produce any
reading.
When disconnecting the BNC connector or sensor connector, be
sure to release the lock before pulling off the connector. Forcibly
pulling the connector without releasing the lock, or pulling on the
cable, can damage the BNC connector or sensor connector.
Maintenance and Service
Do not attempt to modify, disassemble or repair the device; as
fire, electric shock and injury could result.
To avoid corrosion and damage to this device from battery leakage,
remove the batteries from the device if it is to be stored for a l ong
time.
• To clean the device, wipe it gently with a soft cloth moistened with
water or mild detergent. Never use solvents such as benzene, alcohol, acetone, ether, ketones, thinners or gasoline, as they can
deform and discolor the case.
• If the device seems to be malfunctioning, contact your authorized
Hioki distributor or reseller. Pack the device so that it will not sustain
damage during shipping, and include a descrip tion of existing damage. We do not take any responsibility for damage incurred during
shipping.
