■ Warnings on Installation environment
● Operating temperature and humidity
Use the product within the operating temperature indicated in the
“rating” temperature column. If the product is used with the vents of
the product blocked or in high ambient temperatures, a fire may occur.
Use the product within the operating humidity indicated in the “rating”
humidity column. Watch out for condensation by a sharp humidity change such as transfer to a room with a different humidity. Also, do not operate the product with wet hands. Otherwise, an electric shock or fire may occur.
● Use in gas Use in and around a place where an inflammable or explosive gas or steam is generated or stored may result in an explosion and fire. Do not operate the product in such an environment. Also, use in and around a place where a corrosive gas is generated or spreading causes a serious damage to the product. Do not operate the product in such an environment.
● Installation place Avoid installing the product on inclined places or on places subject to vibration. Otherwise, the product may slip or fall down to cause damages or injury accidents.
■ Do not let foreign matter in
Do not insert metal and inflammable materials into the product from its vent and spill water on it. Otherwise, electric shock or fire may occur.
■ Warning item on abnormality while in use
In abnormal situations, such as “smoke”, “fire”, “abnormal smell” or “irregular noise” occur from the product while in use, stop using the
product, turn off the switch, and remove the power cord plug from the outlet. After confirming that no other devices catch fire, ask us or your local dealer.

■ Warning Item for the Measurement
● When you measure a part of a high voltage, be careful not to touch a
hand to a measurement part directly. There is a risk of an electric shock.
● Be sure to connect the probe or the cable and the ground side of the input connector to the ground potential (ground) of the substance measured. Since the chassis of this instrument is connected to the ground of the input block, connecting the earth lead of the probe to the potential floating from the ground potential may result in the following:
Electric shock A high current flows and damages the substance measured, this
instrument, and other connected device.
The following parts are connected to the chassis:
Probe for each channel and ground side of the input BNC connector Grounding conductor of the accessory 3-core power cord Ground pin for an interface signal
“Bad example” Prohibition
When measuring the floating potential, a differential method of measurement is recommended ( refer to the figure below ).
“Good example”

USING THE PRODUCT SAFELY
■ Input / Output terminals Maximum input to terminal is specified to prevent the product from being damaged. Do not supply input, exceeding the specifications that are indicated in the "Rating" column in the instruction manual of the product. Also, do not supply power to the output terminals from the outside. Otherwise, a product failure is caused.
■ Calibration Although the performance and specifications of the product are
checked under strict quality control during shipment from the factory, they may be deviated more or less by deterioration of parts due to their aging or others. It is recommended to periodically calibrate the product so that it is used with its performance and specifications stable. For consultation about the product calibration, ask us or your local dealer.
■ Daily Maintenance
When you clean off the dirt of the product covers, panels, and
knobs, avoid solvents such as thinner and benzene. Otherwise, the paint may peel off or resin surface may be affected. To wipe off the covers, panels, and knobs, use a soft cloth with neutral detergent in it. During cleaning, be careful that water, detergent, or other foreign matters do not get into the product. If a liquid or metal gets into the product, an electric shock and fire are caused. During cleaning, remove the power cord plug from the outlet.
