Installation and Maintenance Manual

Handheld Electrostatic Meter
Type IZH10

Safety Instructions

• This manual contains essential information for the protection of users
and others from possible injury and/or equipment damage.

• Read this manual before using the product, to ensure correct
handling, and read the manuals of related apparatus before use.

• Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

• These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard by label of
"DANGER", "WARNING" or "CAUTION", followed by important safety
information which must be carefully followed.

• To ensure safety of personnel and equipment the safety instructions
in this manual and the product catalogue must be observed, along
with other relevant safety practices.

WARNING

• Do not disassemble, modify (including the change of a printed
circuit board) or repair.

An injury or failure can result.

• Do not operate outside of the specification.

Fire, malfunction or damage can result.
Please confirm the specifications before use.

• Do not operate in an environment of flammable, explosive or
corrosive gas.

Fire or an explosion can result.
The meter is not an explosion proof type.

• This instrument is supplied for the measurement of high voltage
up to ± 20 kV.

The user must take all necessary precautions to use it safely, as high
voltages are dangerous.

• Heavy impacts on the meter.

Do not drop, allow any collision or apply excessive shock to the meter
when handling. It can result in damage to the meter and accidents.

• Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with the
measurement target.

Failure and accidents may occur.

• Handling of ground wire.

To ensure safety and accurate measurements always use the ground
wire. If the ground wire is not connected properly, charge can
accumulate in the sensor and/or the ground terminal and then
discharge to operator. Handle the sensor and ground terminal
carefully.

Safety Instructions (continued)

NOTE

Follow the instructions given below when handling the meter.
If the instructions are not followed the meter may malfunction or become
damaged.

Notes for use

• Do not carry or swing the meter by the sensor cable. If the sensor cable
breaks, the meter can hit people or objects, causing injury or damage.

• Do not press setting buttons with sharp, pointed objects.

• Do not touch the detecting surface of the sensor by hand, directly or with
a metal object. Such action can result in damage and accidents as well
as a loss of specified function and performance.

• When measuring objects with a high charged potential, there is a risk of
electrostatic discharge to the hand of the user holding the sensor. In this
situation use the high voltage measuring handle (optional extra) and
wear protective rubber gloves. Starting from a safe distance, slowly move
the sensor closer to the measurement target. Stop immediately if the
display shows "HHH" or "LLL" as the charged potential is out of range.
This means the charged potential is very high, which can be highly
dangerous.
The display will not change if the sensor is moved closer to the charged
object.

• Do not place objects and cables other than the measurement target near
the detecting port of the sensor. Doing so will cause interference and
result in an inaccurate display reading.

• Handle cables carefully so they do not get tangled with userís equipment,
as this can be highly dangerous.

• The measurement distance is 50 mm. Refer to scales shown on the label
attached to the sensor.

• The meter is designed to measure static electricity and must not be used
for other purposes.

Environment for use/storage

• Do not use in areas where electromagnetic noise is generated.
It can result in malfunction (display of incorrect value), deterioration and
damage to internal components.

• Do not leave the meter in areas exposed to direct heat or sunlight, such
as inside a closed car or near a heating appliance. High temperatures
can cause deformation, discolouration and damage to the meter.

• Do not use in areas where the meter could be splashed by oil or
chemicals.

Maintenance and Other Precautions

• Use 2 of AA (LR6) alkaline dry cell batteries in the meter. Other batteries
are not suitable and their use may result in damage.

• When fitting the batteries pay particular attention to the polarity markings
("+" and "-") stamped on the body of the meter. If fitted incorrectly, the
batteries may leak or even burst.

• Remove the batteries when the meter will not be used for extended
periods.

• If the meter body becomes dirty, clean by wiping with a soft cloth.
For more stubborn dirt wipe with a cloth dampened with a dilute solution
of neutral detergent, then dry thoroughly with another clean, dry cloth.

Peak/Bottom Hold Value

When the "POWER" button is pressed with the meter turned on, the display
will be changed to instantaneous value, peak hold value, bottom hold value
and back to instantaneous value, in that order.

Note) Release the "POWER" button after "P" or "b" is displayed so the meter is not

urned off.

Peak hold value
The maximum charged potential detected and "P" are displayed.
The maximum charged potential is continuously detected and updated from
when the peak hold is started. If a value greater than the displayed charged
potential is detected, the display will update to show the new value.

Bottom hold value
The minimum charged potential detected and "b" are displayed.
The minimum charged potential is continuously detected and updated from
when the bottom hold is started. If a value less than the displayed charged
potential is detected, the display will update to show the new value.

potential if it is in the range of the factory zero setting

5 % F.S. (There
may be a slight deviation from the factory setting, due to variations in the
sensor itself and the ambient environment where the meter is used.)

When "POWER" and "LIGHT" buttons are pressed simultaneously for 6
seconds or more (with the meter on), the displayed value is reset to zero
and the meter will then return to measurement mode. Once the meter is
turned off, the offset value for Zero Clear is cleared.

Backlight

When the "LIGHT" button is pressed while the meter is in measurement
mode, the backlight will turn on. Pressing the "LIGHT" button again will turn
the backlight off.

System
error

The sensor is broken.

Stop using
immediately and
contact the local
SMC sales
branch.

Sensor error

The value of charged
potential being
measured is higher than
the upper limit for the
sensor or the sensor is
too close to the
measurement target.

Eliminate static
electricity until
the charge is
within the
measurable
voltage range.
Also, check if
the sensor is
the correct
distance from
the
measurement
target.

The value of charged
potential being
measured is lower than
the bottom limit for the
sensor or the sensor is
too close to the
measurement target.

Measurement
error

Correct measurements
cannot be made if any
of the wires in the cable
are broken. Even if the
sensor is still,
functioning and detects
a charged potential the
display may not change.

Stop using
immediately
and contact the
local SMC sales
branch.
