Basic Operation
CAUTION
Do not clean probes with liquid.
If the probe tips are cleaned with a liquid such as alcohol
or water, the electrode material that has been attached
to probes could melt, penetrate the gaps and solidify,
preventing probes from moving.
Do not use any tool not specied by Hioki that
makes direct contact with the probe.
Doing so could cause damage to probes.
Wear a dust mask and protective goggles during
operation.
Failure to do so could cause splash of air to get into the
eye or mouth.
Limit the projecting pressure of the air to 207 kPa
(2.1 kgf/cm2 or 30 psi).
Otherwise, the operator could suer from air embolism.
Check that the locking lever of the RM9004 Test
1
Fixture is lowered.
Disconnect the RM9005 Connection Cable from the
2
RM9004.
Disconnect the grounding cable from the RM9004’s
3
ground terminal.
Turn the test xture xing knob counterclockwise
4
to disengage the lock.
At this time, while pressing down the RM9004, turn the xing
knob on the Test Fixture to the UNLOCK side until the screw
is completely removed.
The bottom of the RM9004 faces slowly.
Pull the RM9004’s maintenance plunger outward to

probe tips of the RM9004 on the display.
Rotate the focus magnication adjustment dial to focus on
and observe the tips of the probes. If there are multiple
cameras connected to the computer, switch the cameras so
that the image from the device’s camera is displayed.
Turn the digital microscope so that the TP6 probe is visible in
the position shown below.

Try to eliminate deposits on the tips of the probes
9
by injecting air while checking the camera image.
Insert the blower’s nozzle all the way into the vent before
supplying air.
While observing deposits, spray air from multiple supply
ports.
Operating precautions
• To ensure proper operation of the RM9004 over a long
period of time, remove any probe deposits after you have
nished working.
• Remove any deposits as soon as possible. Repeated
measurements while there are deposits on probes will
cause the deposits to settle between the probes, making
it dicult to remove with air. Moreover, an error may be
displayed during the open and short inspections of the
RM2610.
• If deposits cannot be removed, have the text xture
repaired.
• If any objects adhere to the transparent protective cover of
the device, remove them with air or a soft, dry cloth.
Cleaning lm
Removing insulation at the tips of the probes using the
included cleaning lm may cause the electrical contact to
resume. Use the cleaning lm only when the short test of
the RM2610 yields fail judgments frequently. The abrasive
contained in the cleaning lm could scratch the plating on the
surface of the probes, causing it to oxidize, resulting in more
liable to yield fail judgment during the short inspection.
How to use
Place the cleaning lm on the measurement stage
1
with the non-glossy side facing up.
Move the test xture up or down several times and
2
allow the probes to make contact with the cleaning
lm.
The tips of the probes are polished, resulting in better contact.
• Replace the lm with a new one when it comes ineective.
• If the short inspection of the RM2610 yields fail judgment
frequently, even when a cleaning lm is used, have the
RM9004 repaired.
You will need:
• Air
(e.g., air duster spray, air gun, blower included accessories)
Keep in mind that if the air contains oil or other foreign objects,
it could settle on the RM9004.
• Nozzle outer diameter: 1 mm to 9 mm
• Nozzle length: 40 mm or more
• Computer
Prepare a computer that matches the operating environment of
the device.
