Overview
1.1 Overview and Features
The Slurry Analytical System can estimate the slurry mixing conditions.
Three quantitative indexes that dene the conductivity of slurries are output.
In the development of slurries, dierences in the material compositions and manufacturing
conditions can be compared based on these indexes.
New indexes for LIB electrode slurries (“Three quantitative indexes” are
output.)
The Slurry Analytical System analyzes the electrical properties of a slurry in terms of an equivalent
circuit.
The SA2632 Analytical Software calculates the three following quantitative indicators:
IndexDescription
DC resistance (DCR)
Resistant ratio (Rratio)
Uniformity (Uniformity)
Sum of resistance components in an equivalent circuit with
slurry electrical properties
Ratio of resistance components of a conductive material in
DCR
Distribution of relaxation (transient ow characteristic) by a
conductive material

Simple, easy measurement of slurry impedance
The impedance of slurry can be measured using the IM3536 LCR Meter, SA2633 Measurement
Software, SA9001 Electrode Cell, and SA9002 Test Fixture.
• You can set the frequency range required to observe the relaxation process of slurry using the
IM3536.
• The SA2633 seamlessly performs error compensation, impedance measurement, and measurement
result analysis.
• With the SA9001, which performs measurement with a slurry of approximately 1 mL, you can increase
the number of samples even if the slurry is a little.
• The SA9001 can be attached to and detached from the SA9002 with a single action.

2.3 Connecting the Power Cord to the IM3536
Connect the power cord to the IM3536.
WARNING
Do not use any cables with the coating melted and metal parts exposed.
Otherwise, the operator may experience an electric shock or be burned.
Connect the power cord to a grounded, two-prong power outlet.
If the power cord is connected to an ungrounded outlet, the operator may experience
an electric shock.
Be sure to ground the power cord.
Otherwise, half of the power voltage will be applied to the housing, causing electric
shock accidents.
Preparations Prior to Acquiring Data for Analysis
CAUTION
Make sure that the power voltage connection is correct.
Connection errors could damage the internal circuit.
Do not bend, pull on, or twist cables, including where they connect, with
excessive force.
The cables may be disconnected.
Do not step on cords or allow them to become caught between other objects.
Doing so may damage insulation, resulting in bodily injury.
Do not short-circuit the measurement terminals or input any voltage to the
measurement terminals.
The instrument can be damaged.
Before connecting the power cord, verify that the supply voltage you plan to
use falls within the supply voltage range noted on the IM3536.
Supplying a voltage that falls outside the specied range to the IM3536 could
damage it, causing bodily injury.
Check that the main power switch (rear) of the
1
IM3536 is set to o (○).

2.4 Connecting the IM3536 and Computer
Connect the IM3536 and your computer using a cable (commercially available).
A USB, LAN, or RS-232C cable may be used.
CAUTION
Do not disconnect the cable during communication.
Doing so may cause a malfunction of the instrument.
Be sure to install the SA2633 Measurement Software on the computer before
connecting the cable to the computer.
Installing the SA2633 Measurement Software after connecting the cable to the
computer may cause a malfunction or failure.
Use a common ground circuit for the IM3536 LCR Meter and computer.
Using dierent ground circuits will result in a potential dierence between the IM3536
LCR Meter’s ground and the computer’s ground. If a cable is connected while such a
potential dierence exists, it may result in equipment malfunction or failure.

Correcting Errors (Open Compensation, Short Compensation)
HIOKI SA2631A961-00
3.3 Correcting Errors (Open Compensation, Short
Compensation)
The Test Fixture has stray admittance and residual impedance, which can aect the measured
values. Performing open compensation and short compensation can reduce the eect of stray
admittance and residual impedance of the Test Fixture and improve the measurement accuracy.
Check the following before performing compensation.
• Warm up the IM3536 for at least 60 minutes after the power is turned on.
• Be sure to perform compensation again when the Test Fixture is replaced. Correct measured
values cannot be acquired if compensation is not performed after replacement.
• Make sure that there is no noise source nearby when performing compensation. An error may
occur during compensation due to the inuence of noise.
Noise source example: Servo motor, switching power supply, high voltage line
• Perform compensation under conditions similar to the environment in which the actual sample is
measured.
Open compensation, short compensation
Performing open compensation and short compensation is recommended after the IM3536 is turned on.

Putting Liquid to Be Measured into the SA9001 Electrode Cell
HIOKI SA2631A961-00
3.4 Putting Liquid to Be Measured into the SA9001
Electrode Cell
Put the liquid to be measured into the SA9001 Electrode Cell.
The measured impedance value of the liquid to be measured changes due to the temperature and
time (the change rate varies depending on the liquid).
Perform measurement in an appropriate environment (stable temperature and same measurement
timing).
CAUTION
Do not let the liquid to be measured come in direct contact with your skin.
The liquid coming in direct contact with your skin may have negative eects on your
body. Immediately rinse your skin under running water.
Do not touch the electrodes of the SA9001 Electrode Cell.
Otherwise, accurate measurement may not be performed.

Do not let the liquid to be measured come in contact with the electrodes of the
SA9001 Electrode Cell and SA9002 Test Fixture.
If the liquid comes in contact with an electrode, accurate measurement may not be
performed.
Do not touch the liquid
to be measured.
Always wear gloves when handling the Electrode Cell.
The liquid coming in direct contact with your skin may have negative eects on your
body.
Wear gloves.
Do not touch the
electrodes.

dropper, spatula, or syringe and put the liquid
into the SA9001.
Be sure to add the liquid so that the liquid level is
between the upper limit line and lower limit line of
the SA9001.
Do not let any air mix with the liquid since the
measured value may vary.
Close the lid of the SA9001.

Mount the SA9001 Electrode Cell onto the SA9002 Test Fixture.
CAUTION
Do not tilt the SA9001 Electrode Cell.
Otherwise, the liquid surface of the Electrode Cell tilts and the measured value may
be aected.
Do not let the liquid to be measured come in contact with the electrodes of the
SA9001 Electrode Cell.
If the liquid comes in contact with the electrodes, accurate measurement may not be
performed.
Do not apply excessive force to the SA9001 Electrode Cell and the SA9002 Test
Fixture.
The instrument can be damaged and the liquid can leak.
Setting the SA2633 Measurement Software
Securely close the lid of the SA9001 Electrode Cell.
Otherwise, the liquid in the Electrode Cell may spill.

Maintenance and Service
6.1 Repair, Calibration, and Cleaning
WARNING
Do not modify, disassemble, or repair the product.
Touching any of the high-voltage points inside the IM3536 is very dangerous. Doing
so may cause a re, electric shock, or injury.
Calibration
The calibration period varies with the conditions and environment of use. It is recommended to
determine a calibration period based on those factors and to have the system regularly calibrated
by Hioki. Please contact your Hioki distributor to have your system periodically calibrated.
Backing up the data
The system may be reset (The factory default settings may be restored) when it is repaired or
calibrated.
Before you ask for repair or calibration, it is recommended to back up (save or record) the
measurement conditions and measured data.
Shipping of this system
Observe the following when shipping the product.
Remove the accessories and options from the product.
Attach a description of the malfunction when sending the product for repair.
Use the packaging in which the product was initially delivered and then pack
that in an additional box.
Failure to do so could damage the product.
Cleaning
If the product becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft cloth slightly moistened
with water or a neutral detergent.
Never use solvents such as benzene, alcohol, acetone, ether, ketone, thinners, or
gasoline or wipe the product vigorously. The product may be deformed or discolored.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Maintenance and Service
When the mounting part of the Test Fixture is stained, gently wipe it using a soft cloth with a small
amount of alcohol.
