Safety Information
5
Before using the instrument the first time, verify that it operates normally to
ensure that the no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you find any
damage, contact your dealer or Hioki representative.
Before using the instrument, make sure that the insulation on the power cord
and test leads is undamaged and that no bare conductors are improperly
exposed. Using the instrument in such conditions could cause an electric
shock, so contact your dealer or Hioki representative for replacements.
• To avoid electrical shock, be careful to avoid shorting live lines with the test
leads.
• To avoid injury or damage to the instrument, do not attempt to measure AC
voltage and AC current, or DC voltage exceeding
± 60 VDC (BT3562), ±300
V DC(BT3563).
• The maximum rated voltage between input terminals and ground is
± 70 V
DC. Attempting to measure voltages exceeding
±70 VDC (BT3562), ±300 V
DC (BT3563) with respect to ground could damage the instrument and result
in personal injury.
• Never connect a battery cell or module to a motor or other load while it is
being measured. Doing so may result in a surge voltage, which may damage
the instrument or cause injury.
• To prevent electrical shock, verify the ratings of the measurement leads
before measurement and exercise care not to measure voltages that exceed
those ratings.
• Do not touch the metallic tip of probes after measuring high-voltage batter-
ies. Doing so may result in electrical shock since internal instrument compo-
nents could retain a charge under those conditions. (Internal discharge time:
Approx. 20 sec.)
• To avoid short-circuit accidents, connect the probe's banana terminals to the
instrument before connecting the probes to the battery.
