Overview
The VT1005 is an AC/DC voltage divider that converts an input voltage of
up to 5 kV (no measurement category) into a one-thousandth for output with
high accuracy.
The device has good atness in frequency characteristics and stable
temperature characteristics. It can be used not only for voltage
measurement but also for high-precision power measurement by combining
it with a wattmeter.

Precautions for Use
Be sure to follow the precautions listed below in order to use the device
safely and in a manner that allows it to function eectively.
DANGER
Never touch the metal areas at the tips of voltage
cords during measurement.
Doing so could cause serious bodily injury or a short- circuit.
Do not use the device to measure circuits that exceed
its ratings or specications.
Doing so could cause damage to the device or overheating,
resulting in serious bodily injury.
WARNING
Do not use any cables whose insulation is damaged or
whose metal portion is exposed.
Doing so could cause serious bodily injury.
Do not touch the voltage cords after turning on the line
under measurement.
Do not disconnect the voltage cords from the device
while the voltage cords are connected to the line under
measurement.
Failure to do so could cause bodily injury.
If you notice smoke, an unusual sound, or a strange
odor, immediately turn o the device and the line
under measurement, unplug the power cord from the
outlet, and disconnect the wiring.
Failure to do so could cause serious bodily injury or re.
Turn o the line under measurement before connecting
the voltage cords.
Failure to do so could cause bodily injury.
When using the device, use only Hioki-specied
voltage cords and power cord.
Using a cord other than those specied could result in bodily injury
or a short-circuit.
CAUTION
Do not bend, pull on, or twist cords, including where
they connect, with excessive force.
Doing so could cause the cords to break.
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 bend cords at temperatures of 0°C or lower. Do
not pull on cables.
The cords are hardened. Doing so could damage the insulation or
cause a wire break, resulting in an electric shock.
Do not input a voltage to input terminals while the
device has been turned o.
Doing so could cause damage to the device.
Securely connect the included power cord to the
device and a grounded-type power outlet before
measurement.
Failure to ground the device with the power cord could cause the
operator to experience an electric shock.
When disconnecting cords, disengage the lock and
then pull out the connector while gripping it at the
connection (do not pull on the cord).
Doing so could damage the connector or junction.
Use the L9217 Connection Cord (which is made of
resin) with insulated BNC connectors.
Connecting a metal BNC cable to an insulated BNC connector
could damage the insulated BNC connector or connected
equipment.
• The device is not designed to insulate an measuring instrument electrically
from lines under measurement.
• The device is classied as a Class A device under the EN 61326 standard.
Use of the device in a residential setting such as a neighborhood could
interfere with reception of radio and television broadcasts.
If you encounter this issue, take steps as appropriate to address it.
• If the device seems to be malfunctioning, contact your authorized Hioki
distributor or reseller.

L1050 Voltage Cord
WARNING
Inspect the L1050 Voltage Cord before use, and if
you nd the sheath is damaged or internal sheath or
conductors are exposed, do not use the Voltage Cord.
Use of an abnormal Voltage Cord could cause an electric shock to
the operator. Replace it with a new one.
Do not damage the insulation when processing cables.
Doing so could cause serious bodily injury or a short- circuit.
The L1050 consist of a red cord and a black cord and each cord is cut o on
one side (half-stripped).
Crimp solderless terminals to the L1050 Voltage Cord according to the
circuit to be measured.
The sizes and dimensions of the L1050’s wires are as described below:
• Size: 22 AWG (0.326 mm
• Outer dimension: 5.2 mm
If you need to strip any insulation, use a wire stripper that supports 22 AWG
twisted wires.
Crimp solderless terminals compatible with the wire listed above.
Put heat-shrinkable tubes on crimped parts to secure the solderless
terminals to wires. Otherwise, the wires could be subjected to mechanical
stress, such as tensile, torsion, and bending stress, resulting in wire breaks.
