this manual may negate the provided safety features.
Before using the instrument, be certain to carefully read the
following safety notes.
DANGER
Mishandling during use could result in injury or death,
as well as damage to the instrument. Be certain that
you understand the instructions and precautions in
the manual before use.
WARNING
With regard to the electricity supply, there are risks
of electric shock, heat generation, re, and arc
discharge due to short circuits. If persons unfamiliar
with electricity measuring instruments are to use
the instrument, another person familiar with such
instruments must supervise operations.

Measurement categories
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC 61010
establishes safety standards for various electrical environments,
categorized as CAT II to CAT IV, and called measurement categories.
DANGER
• Using a measuring instrument in an environment
designated with a higher-numbered category than
that for which the instrument is rated could result in
a severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.
• Using a measuring instrument without categories in
an environment designated with the CAT II to CAT
IV category could result in a severe accident, and
must be carefully avoided.
This instrument conforms to the safety requirements for CAT III 1000 V, CAT
IV 600 V measuring instruments.
CAT II: When directly measuring the electrical outlet receptacles of
CAT III: When measuring the primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment
CAT IV: When measuring the circuit from the service drop to the service

AC electrical outlet by a power cord (portable tools, household
appliances, etc.)

Usage Notes
Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the
full benets of the various functions.
Use of the instrument should conrm not only to its specications,
but also to the specications of all accessories, options, batteries,
and other equipment in use.
DANGER
If the test lead or the instrument is damaged, there is
a risk of electric shock. Before using the instrument,
perform the following inspection.
• Before using the instrument, check that the coating of
the test leads are neither ripped nor torn and that no
metal parts are exposed. Using the instrument under
such conditions could result in electrocution. Replace
the test leads with those specied by our company.
• Before using the instrument for the rst time, verify that
it operates normally to ensure that no damage occurred
during storage or shipping. If you nd any damage,
contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
Installation
Installing the instrument in inappropriate locations may cause a
malfunction of instrument or may give rise to an accident. Avoid the
following locations. For details on the operating temperature and
humidity, see the specications. (p. 95)

• Exposed to direct sunlight or high temperature
• Exposed to corrosive or combustible gases
• Exposed to water, oil, chemicals, or solvents
• Exposed to high humidity or condensation

Usage Notes
HIOKI DT4281A981-09
Handling the cables
WARNING
To prevent electric shock, when measuring the
voltage of a power line use a test lead that satises
the following criteria:
• Conforms to safety standards IEC 61010 or EN 61010
• Of measurement category III or IV
• Its rated voltage is higher than the voltage to be
measured
All of the optional test leads for this device conform
to the safety standard EN 61010. Use a test lead in
accordance with its dened measurement category
and rated voltage.
CAUTION
• Avoid stepping on or pinching the cable, which could
damage the cable insulation.
• To avoid damaging the cables, do not bend or pull the
leads and the probe bases.
The ends of the test leads are sharp. Be careful to avoid
injury.
For the test leads supplied with the instrument or the options to be connected
to the instrument, see the following information.
See the Instruction Manual which
accompanies the optional clamp.
“2.4 Installation in Measurement
Location” (p. 31)

Precautions during measurement
HIOKI DT4281A981-09
WARNING
If the instrument is used in locations where the rating
indicated on the instrument or probes is exceeded,
the instrument may be damaged resulting in personal
injury. Do not use the instrument in such locations.
See “Measurement categories” (p. 10).
• With regard to the 10 A range, the maximum input
current is 10 A DC/10 A rms AC. Supplying a current
in excess of the maximum input may damage the
instrument and result in personal injury. Do not
supply current in excess of the specied limit. (Only
the DT4282)
Observe the following to avoid electric shock and/or
short circuits.
• Hazardous voltage may be generated in a free
measurement terminal. Do not touch the free
terminal.
• Use only test leads and optional equipment
specied by our company.
• Do not allow the metal part of the test lead to touch
any exposed metal, or to short between 2 lines.
Never touch the metal end.
• When connecting the clip-type test lead to the
active terminal, do not allow the lead to touch any
exposed metal, or to short between 2 lines.
• When the clamp-on probe is opened, do not allow
the metal part of the clamp to touch any exposed
metal, or to short between 2 lines, and do not
use over bare conductors. (For the clamp current
measurement, only the DT4281)

CAUTION
• Do not input voltage or supply current exceeding the
specied measurement range. Doing so may damage
the instrument.
• During the continuity check, diode test, or measurement
of resistance, conductance, or electrostatic capacity,
measurement signals are generated in the terminals of
the instrument. Depending on the target for measurement,
the measurement signal may cause damage.
Seeing “Measurement current” and “Open circuit
voltage” in the accuracy table (p. 81), check, in advance,
that there are no adverse effects of the measurement
current and the open circuit voltage.
Precautions during shipment
Observe the following during shipment. Hioki cannot be responsible
for damage that occurs during shipment.
CAUTION
• During shipment of the instrument, handle it carefully so
that it is not damaged due to a vibration or shock.
• To avoid damage to the instrument, remove the
accessories and optional equipment from the instrument
before shipment.
If the instrument is not to be used for an extended
period of time
IMPORTANT
To avoid corrosion and/or damage to the instrument due to battery
leakage, remove the batteries from the instrument if it is to be
kept in storage for an extended period.
