• Measurements may be affected by noise or other electromagnetic
ingress if input leads are longer than about three meters.
• Route measurement leads and cables as far away as possible from
power and earth lines.
• Measurement values may be scattered if the leads are routed in parallel
with other devices. If they must be parallel, check operation before taking
measurements.

Operating Precautions
Connecting to the Pulse Input, Alarm Output, and Other External Control Terminals
• The External Control Terminals is not isolated from the HiLogger’s
chassis ground. Make certain that there will be no potential difference between the External Control Terminals and the ground of any
connected device. Otherwise, the HiLogger or device could be damaged.
• To avoid electric shock or damage to the equipment, always
observe the following precautions when connecting to pulse input
terminals, alarm output terminals, and External Control Terminals.
• Always turn off the power to the HiLogger and to any devices to be
connected before making connections.
• Be careful to avoid exceeding the ratings of External Control Terminals.
• Ensure that devices and systems to be connected to the External
Control Terminals are properly isolated.
Using a CF Card/USB flash drive
• Inserting a CF card/USB flash drive upside down, backwards or in the wrong
direction may damage the CF card, USB flash drive, or HiLogger.
• Never eject a CF card /USB flash drive while measuring or when the
HiLogge
may be destroyed. (The CF icon/USB flash drive icon at the lower left is
red while the card is being accessed.)
• Do not transport the HiLogger while a USB flash drive is connected.

• As the CF card/USB flash drive is sensitive to static electricity, damage to
the CF card/USB flash dr
occur due to static electricity. Please be careful when handling it.
• With some USB flash drives, the HiLogger may not start up if power is

• The Flash memory in a CF card/USB flash drive has a limited operating
life. After long-term usage, data storage and retrieval become difficult. In
this case, replace the CF card/USB flash drive with a new one.
• We cannot provide compensation for data loss in a CF card/USB flash
drive, regardless of content or cause of the damage. Data is also cleared
from memory if a long time passes after measuring. Always maintain a
backup of important data stored on a CF card/USB flash drive.
• Although real-time saving to USB flash drive is supported, a CF card is
reco
mmended for data preservation. Performance can not b e gu aran teed
when using storage media other than a Hioki-specified CF card option.

Operating Precautions
CD Handling
• 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
o
f 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,
o
r 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.
• Hioki shall not be held liable for any problems with a PC system that
a
rises from the use of this CD, or for any problem related to the purchase
of a Hioki product.
