Safety Information

Safety Information
Be sure to also read the separate document “Operating Precautions” before use.

Usage Notes

Check before use
Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full benets of the various
functions.
WARNING
If a connection cable or the device is damaged, there is a risk of an electric shock. Perform the following inspection before using the device.
• Before using the device, check that the coating of the connection cables are neither ripped nor torn and that no metal parts are exposed. Using the device under such conditions could result in an electric shock. Replace any damaged cable with a new one.
Before using the device the rst time, verify that it operates normally to ensure
that no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you nd any damage,
contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
This device is designed to measure voltages of 60 V or lower. Do not input voltages over 60 V or measure locations exceeding 60 V from the ground potential.
If the relay of the device fails, the battery of the measuring object may be shorted
(p. 145).
Installing the device and module
CAUTION
Do not position the device on an unstable table or inclined surface. Dropping or knocking down the device can cause injury or damage to the device.
Installing
To prevent overheating, be sure to leave the specied clearances around the device.
• The device should be operated only with the bottom side downwards.
Rear: 10 mm or moreSide: 50 mm or more

Handling the device
This device may cause interference if used in residential areas. Such use must be avoided unless the user takes special measures to reduce electromagnetic emissions to prevent interference to the reception of radio and television broadcasts.
Before installing the module
WARNING
To prevent an electric shock, before removing or replacing a module, conrm that the device is turned off and that all the measurement cables, connection cables, and the power cord are disconnected.
• Installing a module while the device is turned on may prevent detection of the contact state of relays on the module or result in short-circuiting of the measuring object. Damage of the device or module may cause the measuring object to be shorted or the instrument to fail.
• Be careful about short circuits when connecting a measuring object with electromotive force (battery, power supply, etc.).
• The maximum voltage of the device contact is 30 V (rms value) and 42.4 V (peak value) or 60 V (direct current). Do not directly connect a withstand voltage tester or an insulation resistance tester.
Usage Notes

4
When installing or removing the module, be sure to observe the following precautions:
• Touch the GND terminal of the device with your hand to release static and then use antistatic gloves to perform procedures.
• Hold the sheet metal area of the module. Directly touching the board with your hand may damage the circuit board due to static. If the measurement target has high resistance, the
error component due to factors such as oil from your ngers may increase in magnitude.
Before measurement
Do not short-circuit between electrodes or terminals using a probe when measuring the battery or capacitor. Doing so may cause an electric arc, resulting in serious injury.
• Do not use the device or the connection cables that exceed its ratings or
specications. Doing so may damage the device or cause it to become hot,
resulting in a bodily injury.
• Do not use the instrument to be used in conjunction with the device outside of
its ratings or specications. Doing so may damage the instrument or cause it to
become hot, resulting in a physical injury.

WARNING
The maximum rated voltage between the module and ground is 60 V DC. To avoid an injury and damage to the device, ensure that voltage between channels never exceeds this limit. Prevent the voltage potential difference of the entire system from exceeding 60 V DC.
The measurement connector frame of the module is connected to the casing (metal) of the device as well as the protective ground terminal of the power inlet (conductive).

Usage Notes
Before starting the external control
WARNING
To prevent an electric shock or damage to the device, always observe the following precautions when connecting the cables to the EXT. I/O terminals.
• Always turn off the device and any devices to be connected before making connections.
• Be careful to avoid exceeding the signal ratings of the EXT. I/O terminals.
• During operation, a wire becoming dislocated and contacting another conductive object can be a serious hazard. Use screws to secure the external connectors.
• Ensure that devices and systems to be connected to the EXT. I/O terminals are properly isolated from one another.
Before connecting the communications cables
CAUTION
• Use a common ground for both the device and the PC. Using different ground circuits
will result in a potential difference between the device's ground and the computer's ground. If the communications cable is connected while such a potential difference exists, it may result in device malfunction or failure.
• Before connecting or disconnecting any communications cables, always turn off the
device and the PC. Failure to do so could result in equipment malfunction or damage.
• After connecting the communications cables, tighten the screws on the connector
securely. Failure to secure the connector could result in device malfunction or damage.
• To avoid device failure, do not disconnect the communications cables while
communications are in progress.
Precautions during shipment
Store the packaging in which the device was delivered, as you will need it when transporting the device.
Disc precautions
• Exercise care to keep the recorded side of discs free of dirt and scratches. When writing text on
a disc’s label, use a pen or marker with a soft tip.
• Keep discs inside a protective case and do not expose to direct sunlight, high temperature, or
high humidity.
• Hioki is not liable for any issues your computer system experiences in the course of using this
disc.

Overview

1.1 Overview of Product

This device is a module type switching system that is ideal for multi-channel measurement of batteries. You can choose a main frame from two choices according to the required number of channels. You can also choose a module from two module types according to the instrument to be used with the device (2-wire/4-wire module and 4-terminal pair module).

1.2 Features

Reduction of errors when measuring internal resistance
When AC low resistance measurement is performed using the BT4560 Battery Impedance Meter
or the BT3562 Battery HiTester, the inuence of electromagnetic induction (eddy current) on the
measured value can be minimized.
Ability to switch measurement between two instruments
For example, you can connect a BT3562 and DM7276 to the device and use it to switch between internal resistance measurement and high-precision OCV measurement.
Protection against short circuit with fuses
To protect batteries to be measured if a short circuit occurs in a channel, a protective fuse is built into each channel.

Thoroughly read "Usage Notes" (p. 4) beforehand.

3.1 Inspection before Measurement

Verify that it operates normally to ensure that no damage occurred during storage or shipping.
If you nd any damage, contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.

Inspecting the device and peripheral devices

Check item Action
Is the sheath of the power cord normal without any damage or exposed metal part?
Are the sheaths of the measurement cables or connection cables to be used normal without any damage or exposed metal part?
Is the device normal without any damage?

Damage may cause an electric shock or a short circuit
accident. Do not use it.
Contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
Damage may cause an electric shock. Stop using it and replace it with a specied one.

Inspection before Measurement

Checking for relay contact welding

If a relay contact welds, the battery of the measuring object may short or the channels may be connected in parallel, resulting in improper measurement. You can check that the relays are not welded according to the following procedure.
Short all the module terminals.
1
Send inspection command: TEST:RELAYSHORT <No. of slot to be inspected>,CH, and set the
2
test state of the channel relay.
Example: Inspect the channel relay of SLOT 1.
:TEST:RELAYSHORT 1,CH
Check that the terminals of the shorted modules and the following points of the terminals on

Tester
Send inspection command: TEST:RELAYSHORT <No. of slot to be inspected>,BUS, and set the
4
test state of the bus relay, then conrm step 3.
Send inspection command: TEST:RELAYSHORT <No. of slot to be inspected>,OPEN, and end the
5
inspection for this slot.
Perform steps 1 to 5 for all the slots.
