Operation Precautions
HIOKI MR8847G961-07
Handling the Instrument and Modules
• Do not use the modules or the cables with circuits that exceed those ratings or
specications.
Doing so may damage the instrument or cause it to become hot, resulting in
bodily injury.
Even including any devices, such as an attenuator, in the input terminal will
never increase the maximum rated voltage to earth. Take care of the connection
not to allow any input voltage to exceed the maximum rated voltage to earth.
• To avoid an electric shock, do not remove the instrument’s cover and the
modules’ cases.
The internal components of the instrument carry high voltages and may
become very hot during operation.
• It is recommended to measure the secondary side of a distribution panel with
the U8974 High Voltage Unit. Do not connect the connection cords on the
primary side of the distribution panel because an unrestricted current ow can
damage the connection cords and facilities if a short-circuit occurs.
DANGER
WARNING
• Each channel of Model U8979 Charge Unit has the BNC terminal and miniature
connector terminal with the common ground. Do not connect cords with each
of the terminals simultaneously to avoid a short-circuit.
• To avoid an electric shock, before removing or replacing an input module,
conrm that the instrument is turned off and that the connection cords are
disconnected.
• To avoid the danger of an electric shock, never operate the instrument with an
input module removed. To use the instrument with a module removed, install a
blank panel over the opening of the removed module.
• To prevent the instrument damage or an electric shock, use only the screws
that are originally installed for securing the module in place.
If you have lost any screws or nd that any screws are damaged, please contact
your Hioki distributor for a replacement.
• Setting the measurement mode to [PreAmp] allows Model U8979 Charge Unit
to constantly provide power (3.0 mA, 22 V) to sensors. Set any measurement
mode other than [PreAmp] or tum off the instrument before connecting a
sensor or probe with a BNC terminal to avoid an electric shock or damage to
the measurement target.

Operation Precautions
HIOKI MR8847G961-07
Before connecting cables
When measuring power line voltage
• Connect the connecting cables to only the secondary side of a breaker. Even
if a short-circuit occurs on the secondary side of the breaker, the breaker will
interrupt a short-circuit current. Do not connect them to the primary side of the
breaker because an unrestricted current ow could damage the instrument and
facilities if a short circuit occurs.
• To prevent an electrical shock and a bodily injury, do not touch any input
terminals on the VT (PT), CT or the instrument when they are in operation.
• Do not leave the measurement cables connected to the instrument in an
environment where voltage surges exceeding the maximum input voltage may
occur. Subjecting the instrument to such a voltage may result in damage to the
instrument or a serious accident.
• Do not short-circuit two wires to be measured by bringing the connection
cables into contact with them. Arcs or such grave accidents are likely to occur.
• To avoid a short-circuit or an electric shock, do not touch the metal parts of the
connecting cable clips.
• To avoid electrical shock, be careful to avoid shorting live lines with the
connection cable chips.
DANGER
WARNING
To avoid an electric shock and a short-circuit accident, use only the specied test
leads to connect the instrument input terminals to the circuit to be tested.
• To avoid an electric shock, do not exceed the lower of the ratings shown on the
instrument and connection cords.
To prevent an electric shock, conrm that the white or red portion (insulation
layer) inside the cable is not exposed. If a color inside the cable is exposed, do
not use the cable.
CAUTION
• The cable is hardened in the freezing temperatures. Do not bend or pull it to avoid
tearing its shield or cutting cable.
• Connecting cables to the BNC jacks on modules
• Do not use any cable terminated with a metal BNC connector. If you connect a metal
BNC cable to an insulated BNC connector, the insulated BNC connector and the
