Operating Precautions
• The protection rating for the enclosure of this device (based on
EN60529) is *IP54.
• The Humidity Sensor is not designed to be entirely water- or dust-proof.

Operating Precautions
• Always hold the disc by the edges, so as not to make fingerprints on
the disc or scratch the printing.Never touch the recorded side of the
disc. Do not place the disc directly on anything hard.
• Do not wet the disc with volatile alcohol or water, as there is a possibility of the label printing disappearing.
• To write on the disc label surface, use a spirit-based felt pen. Do not
u
se a ball-point pen or hard-tipped pen, because there is a danger of
scratching the surface and corrupting the data. Do not use adhesive
labels.
• Do not expose the disc directly to the sun's rays, or keep it in conditions of high temperature or humidity, as there is a danger of warping,
with
consequent loss of data.
• To remove dirt, dust, or fingerprints from the disc, wipe with a dry
cloth, or use a CD cleaner. Alway s wipe from the insid e to the o utside,
and do no wipe with circular movements. Never use abrasives or solvent cleaners.
• Hioki shall not be held liable for any problems with a computer system
th
at arises from the use of this CD, or for any problem related to the
purchase of a Hioki product.
Preliminary Checks
Before using the instrument the first time, verify that it operates normally to ensure
that the no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you find any damage, contact your dealer or Hioki representative.
Before using the instrument, make sure that the insulation on the
sensor cables is undamaged and that no bare conductors are
improperly exposed. Using the instrument in such conditions
could cause an electric shock, so contact your dealer or Hioki representative for replacements.

Battery Status Indicator
This indicator is displayed at the top right corner.
Battery charge remains. Fewer blocks within the indicator signify weaker battery charge.
Replace the discharged battery as soon as possible. (Even when the battery is removed
during recording, operation can continue for about 30 seconds.)
In this state, recording and communication with the LR5091 Communication Adapterr
and LR5092-20 Data Collector are not possible.
Using a NiMH Battery
The battery status indicator does not accurately show the remaining battery capacity
wh

using it.
The device's battery status display and battery life are based on the usage of a brandnew alkaline battery.

To avoid corrosion and damage to this instrument from battery leakage,
remove the batteries from the instrument if it is to be stored for a long
time (1 week).

Values are not displayed correctly if the sensor
plug is inserted incorrectly or not inserted far
enough.
If values are not displayed correctly even when the
plug is inserted properly, the logger or sensor may

2.2 Connecting a Temperature/Humidity Sensor
2.2Connecting a Temperature/Humidity Sensor
Connect a temperature/humidity sensor to the logger's sensor jacks.
• A temperature/humidity sensor is precision machined. Applying an
excessively high voltage pulse or static electricity may damage the
sensor.
• Avoid subjecting the temperature/humidity sensor tip to physical
shoc
k, and avoid sharp bends in the leads. These may damage the
probe or break a wire.
• Take care that the temperature/humidity sensor does not exceed the
spec
ified temperature range.
• To avoid breaking the sensor, do not bend or pull it.
• Avoid stepping on or pinching cables, which could damage the cable
tion.
