Operating Precautions

Operating Precautions
Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full benefits of the various functions.
Preliminary Checks
Before using the instrument for the first time, verify that it operates normally to ensure that no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you find any dam­age, contact your dealer or Hioki representative.
Instrument Installation
Operating temperature and humidity:
0 to 40°C at 80%RH or less (non-condensing)
Temperature and humidity range for guaranteed accuracy:
23±5°C, 80%RH or less (non-condensing)
Avoid the following locations that could cause an accident or damage to the instrument.
Exposed to direct sun­light Exposed to high tem­perature
Exposed to water, oil, other chemicals, or solvents Exposed to high hu­midity or condensa­tion(
Exposed to high lev­els of particulate dust
Subject to vibration
In the presence of corrosive or explosive gases
Exposed to strong electromagnetic fields Near electromagnetic radiators
Near electromagnet­ic radiators (e.g., high-frequency induc­tion heating systems and IH cooking uten­sils)
Do not slant the instrument or place it on top of an uneven surface. Dropping or knocking down the instrument can cause injury or damage to the instrument.
Handling the Instrument
Do not allow the instrument to get wet, and do not take measurements
with wet hands. This may cause an electric shock.
Touching any of the high-voltage points inside the instrument is very
dangerous. Do not attempt to modify, disassemble or repair the instru­ment; as fire, electric shock and injury could result.
To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from physical shock when trans­porting and handling. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock from drop­ping.
Handling the Cords
5
Operating Precautions
Before Connecting
Before using the instrument, make sure that the insulation on the Connec­tion Cable is undamaged and that no bare conductors are improperly exposed. Using the instrument in such conditions could cause an electric shock, so contact your dealer or Hioki representative for replacements.
• Avoid stepping on or pinching cables, which could damage the cable insula­tion.
• To avoid breaking the cables, do not bend or pull them.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplug­ging it from the power outlet.
• Keep the cables well away from heat sources, as bare conductors could be exposed if the insulation melts.
Use only the specified connection cables. Using a non-specified cable may result in incorrect measurements due to poor connection or other reasons.
Before turning the instrument on, make sure the supply voltage matches
that indicated on its power connector. Connection to an improper supply voltage may damage the instrument and present an electrical hazard.
To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifications of this instrument, connect the power cord only to a 3-contact (two-conduc­tor + ground) outlet.

Operating Precautions
Input and Measurement Precautions
The maximum input voltage and maximum rated voltage to earth are 1000
VDC. If their voltages are exceeded, this instrument will be damaged and personal injury will result. Therefore, do not input signals in excess of these values.
To avoid electrical hazards and damage to the instrument, do not apply
voltage exceeding the rated maximum to the voltage input terminal.
To ensure measurements are accurate,
• Warm up the instrument 60 minutes or more before use.
• The instrument should be calibrated once a year.

Overview Chapter 1
1.1 Product Overview and Features
The instrument is an 8-channel, high-sensitivity ammeter for use in measuring insulation resistance. It can perform insulation measurement of target objects such as electrical insulators with high resistance values, measuring all 8 chan­nels simultaneously at high speed. The instrument is designed for use in applica­tions such as automatic insulation testing, particularly of capacitors. This insulation measuring instrument requires an external measurement power source to be provided by the operator. HIOKI offers a recommended power source (Model SM7860 series Power Source Unit).

1.1 Product Overview and Features

Operating Principles and Block Diagram

The instrument is an 8-channel, high-sensitivity ammeter for use in measuring insulation resistance. After connecting the dedicated external power source to the voltage input terminal (A) and applying voltage to the object under measurement from the voltage output terminals (OUTPUT), current is measured at the current input terminals (INPUT). The resistance value is then calculated from the measured current values and the set measurement voltage values.
The measurement block performs current/voltage conversion using charge measurement type current-voltage converters (B) that integrate input current values and A/D converters (C). This method allows precise mea­surement of minute currents by using long integration times.
Having been converted into digital data, measurement block output is sent to the control block (D) memory. The control block (D) performs arithmetic processing on measurement data that has been input to its memory and sends output to the instrument’s LCD screen and interfaces.

2.2 Connecting the Power Cord

2.2 Connecting the Power Cord
Before turning the instrument on, make sure the supply voltage matches
that indicated on its power connector. Connection to an improper supply voltage may damage the instrument and present an electrical hazard.
To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifications of
this instrument, connect the power cord only to a 3-contact (two-conduc­tor + ground) outlet.
Before using the instrument, make sure that the insulation on the power
cord is undamaged and that no bare conductors are improperly exposed. Using the instrument in such conditions could cause an electric shock, so contact your dealer or Hioki representative for replacements.
To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplug­ging it from the power outlet.
Turn off the power before disconnecting the power cord.

For more information about measurement cables and voltage output cables, please contact your dealer or HIOKI representative.
2.3 Connecting the Measurement Cables
To avoid damage to the instrument, do not apply voltage to measurement termi­nals.
Connection Methods
13
• The current input terminals incorporate a two-tiered design with both center and outer conductors. The center conductors are connected to measurement input, while the outer conductors are connected to guard signals.
• Because the instrument performs high-sensitivity current measurement, noise occurring on the measurement cables may prevent measured values from sta­bilizing. Use low-noise shielded measurement cables that meet HIOKI’s speci­fications.
