Overview

The SP3000 Non-Contact AC Voltage Probe and the SP9001 AC
Voltage Probe are voltage probes that can make measurements
in a non-contact manner from outside cable insulation.
The SP3000 and SP9001 cannot be used alone. Instead, the two
units must be used together.
The model (order code) SP3001-01 Non-Contact AC Voltage
Probe indicates a package that includes both the SP3000 and
the SP9001.

Safety Information

This device is designed to conform to IEC 61010 Safety
Standards, and has been thoroughly tested for safety prior to
shipment. However, using the device in a way not described in
this manual may negate the provided safety features. Before
using the device, be certain to carefully read the following safety
notes:

Operating Precautions

WARNING

•

Installing the device in inappropriate locations
may cause a malfunction of device or may give
rise to an accident. Avoid the following locations:

• Exposed to direct sunlight or high temperature

• Exposed to corrosive or combustible gases

• Exposed to a strong electromagnetic eld or

electrostatic charge

• Susceptible to vibration

• Exposed to water, oil, chemicals, or solvents

• Exposed to high humidity or condensation

• Exposed to high quantities of dust particles

• To avoid injury or damage to the device, do not

attempt to measure AC voltage, or DC voltage
exceeding 30 V

•

Use only the Model Z1013 AC Adapter. AC
adapter input voltage range is 100 V to 240 V
AC at 50 Hz/60 Hz. To avoid electrical hazards
and damage to the device, do not apply voltage
outside of this range.

• To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the

safety specications of this device, connect the

power cord provided only to an outlet.

• Do not place foreign objects between the hookclip or
insert foreign objects into the gaps of the sensor head.
Doing so may worsen the performances of the sensor
or interfere with clamping action. Exercise caution due

to the potential for injury if a nger is pinched by the

hookclip.

• Be careful to avoid dropping the device or otherwise
subjecting them to mechanical shock, which could
damage the hookclip and adversely affect measurement.

• If you connect to metal BNC connector, the output
terminal (BNC connector) of the device may be
damaged.

• Do not use the probe in temperatures that exceed
the temperature at which the insulation on the cable
being measured softens. Doing so may result in cable
damage if the probe is connected to cable above that
temperature.

Before turning the device on, make sure the supply

•

voltage matches that indicated on its power connector.
Connection to an improper supply voltage may damage

the device and present an electrical hazard.

• Do not connect the supply voltage improperly. Doing so
may damage the device’s internal circuitry.

• This device is not drip-proof. Water droplets on the
device may result in malfunctions.

• To avoid damage to the device, protect it from physical
shock when transporting and handling. Be especially
careful to avoid physical shock from dropping.

• The cable of the device is hardened under the 0°C
or colder environment. Do not bend or pull it to avoid
tearing its shield or cutting cable

.

CAUTION

.

CAUTION

• To prevent damage to the BNC connector or junction, be
sure to unlock the connector and then pull it out while
gripping the BNC connector itself (rather than the cable)

• Displayed values can frequently uctuate due to induction
potential even when no voltage is applied. This, however, is not
a malfunction.

• Unplugging the USB cable kills power to the device. Be sure to
provide enough unobstructed space to unplug the USB cable
immediately in an emergency.

.

Maintenance and Service

WARNING

Customers are not allowed to modify, disassemble,

or repair the device. Doing so may cause re,

electric shock, or injury

• To prevent damage to terminals from repeatedly connecting
and disconnecting them, leave the USB cable, AC voltage
probe, and GND connection cable connected when storing the
device in a container such as its carrying case.

• To clean the device, wipe it gently with a soft cloth moistened
with water or mild detergent.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to lightly wipe away any dirt or other
material on the metal portion of the hookclip as it may affect
measurement.

• If the device seems to be malfunctioning, conrm that the AC
adapter, the UCB cable, the AC voltage probe and the GND
connection cable are connected properly before contacting

your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.

Replacing the protective sleeve of hookclip

Protective sleeve of the SP9001 AC Voltage Probe can be

replaced. Replacement sleeves can be purchased via authorized

Hioki distributor or reseller.

Remove Attach

Protective
sleeve

Grip the protective sleeve at its
base and pull up to remove.

.

Protective
sleeve

Push the protective sleeve down
securely all the way to attach.

Exercise care not to tear the
protective sleeve on the opening
of the hookclip when attaching it.

Measurement Procedure

CAUTION

• Do not connect the device’s output terminal (BNC
connector) to an instrument with an input resistance of

or less. Doing so may damage the device. The

10 k

Ω

device’s signal output circuit includes an output resistor.
When monitoring the device’s output signal with a digital
multimeter or similar instrument, use an instrument with
a high input resistance (recommended input resistance:

or greater).

1 M

Ω

• GND terminal of the SP3000, USB power terminal GND
pin, and output terminal (BNC connector) GND pin are
not insulated (i.e., they share a common ground). In
the event there were a potential difference between

any of these ground signals, a current could ow

through the ground circuit of the SP3000, damaging the
measurement object and device.

• Although the measurement waveform’s zero point
may exhibit wobble at low frequencies, this is a normal
characteristic of the device and does not indicate a
problem. When using a Memory HiCorder, oscilloscope,
or other waveform measuring instrument, this wobbling
characteristic can be improved by selecting the
instrument’s AC coupling setting. (The AC coupling
characteristics will affect the waveform, so be sure that
you have a thorough understanding of AC coupling
before using this feature.)

• Do not connect the probe to a bare conductor with
exposed metal or a measurement cable with damaged
insulation. Doing so may damage the device as well as
the connected instrument.

• Be sure to wipe the cable to remove any dirt before
connecting the probe and ensure that no dirt gets
onto the probe. In particular, any dirt that gets onto the
hookclip may adversely affect the sensor characteristics
or damage the device.

• The probe is affected by nearby conductors (cables).
Exercise care as this effect becomes more pronounced
the closer a conductor is to the opening in the hookclip.

Supply power to the device.

This can be accomplished by either of the following two
methods:

• Use the Z1013 AC Adapter to supply power from commercial
power.

• Connect the device to a USB receptacle that has USB bus
power functionality.
