Avoiding Logger Damage
To avoid damage to the logger, protect it from physical shock when
transporting and handling. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock
from dropping.
• 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
use 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. Always wipe from the inside to the outside,
and do no wipe with circular movements. Never use abrasives or solvent cleaners.

Chapter 2 Measurement Preparations
* The FET switch between the preheat signal and ground is turned on during preheating.
Connect to allow preheat signal current flow to ground.
Preheat Signal Connection Circuit Example
The preheat signal switches power to the sensor on and off. Connect the logger, sensor, power supply, and re
lay as shown below.
< Typical Circuit >
< When Sensor Output Volta
ge Is Low >
In the above circuit, if relay current (i) is large and sensor output voltage is low, measurement values may be affected by current flow in the connection cable. The amplitude of the effect is determined by cable resistance (about 0.2Ω) and relay current (i).
For example, if the relay current is 10 mA, the effect is 10 mA × 0.2 Ω=2 mV. When
the sensor output voltage is low, this 2 mV results in erroneous measurements. In
such cases, the effect can be minimized using the circuit on the next page.
< Isolating the Preheat Signal >
If the ground side of the power supply cannot be connected to measurement signal
ground, isolate the preheat signal as shown in the following circuit diagram. However,
in this case, a separate photocoupler power supply is required.
• When connecting a relay, transistors, and a photocoupler to the preheat signal line, be sure that the connected supply voltage and drive
current do not exceed the maximum preheat signal ratings (30 V, 50
mA).
• When using a relay, be sure to include a back-emf protection diode to
prevent damage from counter-emf when relay coil power is removed.
To save, browse, or print data, or to make logger settings from a computer, first
install the "LR5000 Utility Program".

What is Scaling?
Scaling converts actual measurement values to their corresponding values in arbitrarily determined units for display. This is convenient for converting the voltage values provided by the logger for display as the corresponding physical values the
sensor is intended to measure.
For example, if a flow sensor provides a 1 to 5 V output signal corresponding to 0 to
100 liters flow measurement, set as follows.

4.2 Installing the Logger
4.2Installing the Logger
After inspection, install the logger at the measurement site.
Be sure to read the "Installation Precautions" (p.6) before installing.
Install the logger as necessary according to the following procedure.
Persons wearing electronic medical devices such as a pacemaker
should not use the Z5004 strap with magnet. Such persons should
avoid even proximity to the Z5004, as it may be dangerous. Medical device operation could be compromise
to human life.
Do not apply heavy downward pressure with the stand extended. The
stand could be damaged.
• Avoid shocking the Z5004, such as by dropping. Shock can cause it to
be chipped or cracked.
• Do not use the Z5004 where it may be subject to rain, dust, or condensation. Use in such conditions may cause corrosion or deterioration of
the magnet.
• If t
he Z5004 is brought near a magnetic memory device such as a
floppy disk, credit/debit card, or pre-paid card or ticket, the device may
become unusable due to data corruption. It can also cause damage if
brought near a precision electronic device such as a computer, TV, or
electronic wristwatch.
Mount the LR9901 to the wall using the two
screws.

Install the logger, connect the leads to the measurement object, and start recording.
To avoid electrical shock, be careful to avoid shorting live lines
with the connection cable.
• In order to prevent electric shock and short-circuit accidents,
shut off the power to the line to be measured before connecting
the connection cable.
• Ensure that the input does not exceed the maximum rate
age or current to avoid logger damage, short-circuiting and electric s
hock resulting from heat building.
• The maximum rated voltage between input terminals and ground
is 60 VDC. Attempting to measure voltages exceeding 60 V with
respect to ground could damage the logger and result in personal injury.
Recording cannot start when the battery is depleted. When the battery
becomes exhausted during recording, recording stops.
See: "2.1 Installing (or Replacing) the Battery" (p.17)
The [REC] indicator in the display turns on,
but recording does not start yet.
At 12:10:00

Replaceable part and service life
A part used in the instrument is characterized by performance that degrades over
years of use. It is recomm
functionality over the long term. To order a replacement, please contact your Hioki
distributor. Part service life varies with the operating environment and frequency of
use.
PartService life
Electric double-layer
capacitor
ended to replace this part regularly to ensure instrument
The instrument uses an electric double-layer capacitor to back up internal components, including the clock.
Even if it takes only a short time (about 30 s or less) to replace the batteries, the internal clock may not be backed up, with the result that all
segments of the screen ma
ed. In this case, the life of the capacitor has expired.
Especially in high-temperature environment
may be significantly shortened.
Wipe the LCD gently with a soft, dry cloth.
To clean the instrument, wipe it gently with a soft cloth moistened with water or
mild detergent.
IMPORTANT
Never use solvents such as benzene, alcohol, acetone, ether, ketones, thinners or
gasoline, as they can deform and discolor the case.
