To evaluate whether batteries have deteriorated, measure the
internal resistance of a fresh battery. Deteriorated batteries will have
about 1.5 to 2 times (values for reference purposes) as high internal
resistance as a fresh one. Use these values as guidelines when
determining deterioration evaluation values.

Operating Precautions
HIOKI BT3554F961-03
Operating Precautions
Observe the following precautionary information to ensure that the
instrument can be used safely and in a manner that allows it to
perform as described in its specications.
Use of the instrument should conrm not only to its specications,
but also to the specications of all accessories, options, LR6
Alkaline batteries, and other equipment in use.
Installing the instrument
CAUTION
Installing the instrument in inappropriate locations could
cause a malfunction of the instrument or an accident.
• Exposed to direct sunlight or high temperature
• Exposed to corrosive or combustible gases
• Exposed to a strong electromagnetic elds or
electrostatic charges
• Near induction heating systems (such as high-frequency
induction heating systems and IH cooking equipment)
• Susceptible to vibration
• Exposed to water, oil, chemicals, or solvents
• Exposed to high humidity or condensation
• Exposed to high concentrations of dust particles
Do not place the instrument on an unstable or uneven
surface. Doing so could cause the instrument to fall or turn
over, causing bodily injury or damage to the instrument.
12
Operating Precautions
HIOKI BT3554F961-03
Preliminary checks
DANGER
If the test lead or the instrument is damaged, there
is a risk of an electric shock. Perform the following
inspection before use:
• Check that the insulation of the test lead is neither
ripped nor torn and that no metal parts are exposed.
Replace the test lead with a one specied by Hioki.
• Check the instrument for any damage that may
have occurred during storage or shipping, and
perform functional checks before use. If you nd
any damage to the instrument, please contact your
authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
Precautions for Transportation
During shipment of the instrument, handle it carefully so that it is not
damaged due to a vibration or shock.
13
Operating Precautions
HIOKI BT3554F961-03
Handling the instrument
To prevent an electric shock, do not remove the
instrument’s case. The internal components of the
instrument carry high voltages and may become very
hot during operation.
To avoid damage to the instrument, do not subject it to
vibration or mechanical shock during transportation and
handling. Exercise particular care to avoid subjecting the
instrument to mechanical shock, for example by dropping.
DANGER
CAUTION
14
Precautions for measurement
HIOKI BT3554F961-03
DANGER
To prevent an electric shock, be careful to avoid
shorting live lines with the test lead tip.
WARNING
• Do not use the instrument to measure circuits that
exceed its ratings or specications. Damage to the
instrument can cause an electric shock.
• Do not measure any voltage that would exceed the
instrument’s maximum input voltage (terminal-toterminal) or maximum rated line-to-ground voltage
of 60 V.
Maximum input voltage
(terminal-to-terminal)
60 V DC
Operating Precautions
Maximum rated
voltage to earth

• Do not measure
AC voltage.
15
Operating Precautions
HIOKI BT3554F961-03
• Connect the test lead correctly.
• Wear gloves of rubber or similar material during
measurement.
• Ventilate the rooms where batteries have been
installed before measuring batteries to prevent
explosions. Sparks may occur when a test lead is
connected to a battery to be measured, which can
ignite any accumulated inammable gases such as
hydrogen.
After measuring a high-voltage battery, rst short-circuit
the test lead to discharges the DC elimination capacitor
connected across the lead before continuing to measure a
low-voltage battery. Otherwise the low-voltage battery may
be subject to an excess voltage, causing damage to the
battery.
To avoid damage to the instrument, do not apply voltage
to the EXT.HOLD and TEMP.SENSOR terminal.
