When zero clear was performed, a charge
exceeding ±5%F.S of the default zero point was
p
resent.
∗
: After approx. 1 s. error display, the sensor
returns to measurement mode.
This time will depend on the deviation of the
product itself and ambient environment during
zero clear operation.
Return to a condition without
charge, and retry zero clear
operation.
Insertion of batteries
Slide the cover of the case open to insert the batteries.
Use 2 x AA (LR6) alkaline dry cell batteries.
When inserting the batteries, pay attention to the polarities and insert them in
the correct direction.
After insertion, ensure the cover is closed correctly.
Assembly
Error Display Error Type Troubleshooting Method
The sensor is broken.
Stop using immediately and
contact SMC.
Error in internal data.
The charge has exceeded the lower limit of the
measurable voltage range, or the measuring
distance is not suitable.
Turn off the power supply
once, and turn it on again. If
the error persists contact
SMC.
Remove the charge until the
value is within the
measurable voltage range.
Also, check the measuring
distance.
The charge has exceeded the upper limit of the
measurable voltage range, or the measuring
distance is not suitable.

Mounting of the high voltage measuring handle (option)
1. Insert the sensor into the handle in the
direction shown.
2. Fix the cable to the handle as shown.
3. The assembly is complete and the handle is
now ready for use.
Procedure
Setting / Adjustment
1
. Insert the batteries.
2. Connect the ground wire.
Connect the ground wire to a point suitable for connection to an external
protective earthing system.
The position for attaching the ground wire to the Handheld meter is shown
below.
Stop using immediately and
contact SMC.
3. Press the button.
4. Move the sensor closer to the position 50 mm away from the measured target.
Gradually bring the sensor closer to the measured target from a distance, and
stop measurement immediately if the displayed value indicates overflow
(HHH) or underflow (LLL).
(The target has a high charged potential that is highly dangerous. The
m
easured value does not change even if the distance is shortened.)
5. Check the display.

•Peak hold value
The maximum charged potential and "P" are displayed.
The maximum charged potential is continuously detected and updated from
w

potential is detected, the display will change.
•Bottom hold value
The minimum charged potential and "b" are displayed.
The minimum charged potential is continuously detected and updated from
when the bottom hold is started. If the value under the held minimum
charged potential is detected, the display will change.
Zero clear
A
displayed value can be adjusted to zero at
measured charged potential in a range of ±5%F.S. of
default potential.
(There will be a slight displacement, depending on
the deviation of the sensor itself and ambient
environment of the sensor when the zero clear is performed.)
When the and are pressed for 6 s. or more with the power supply on,
the displayed value is reset to zero, and then the measuring mode is
recovered automatically.
Once the power supply is turned off, the offset value for zero clear is cleared.
