Operating Precautions
Using Battery Pack
WARNING
• To avoid the possibility of explosion, do not short circuit, disassemble or
incinerate battery pack. Battery may explode if mistreated. Handle and dispose of
batteries in accordance with local regulations.
• Be sure to observe the following precautions. Incorrect handling may result in
liquid leaks, heat generation, ignition, bursting and other hazards.
• The battery pack contains lye, which may cause blindness if it comes into
contact with the eyes. Should battery liquid get into your eyes, avoid rubbing
them. Flush them with water and seek immediate medical attention.
• When storing the instrument, make sure no objects that could short-circuit the
connectors are placed near them.
• For battery operation, use only the HIOKI Model Z1003 Battery Pack. We do not
take any responsibility for accidents or damage related to the use of any other
batteries.
• To avoid electric shock, turn off the power switch, disconnect all the power and
voltage cords and current sensor from the device to be measured, and replace
the battery pack.
• To prevent the instrument damage or electric shock, use only the screws
(M6×12 mm) for securing the battery cover in place that are originally installed.
If you have lost any screws or nd that any screws are damaged, please contact
your Hioki distributor for a replacement.
CAUTION
• Observe the following to avoid damage to the instrument.
• Use the battery pack in an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 50°C and charge it in
an ambient temperature range of 10°C to 35°C.
• If the battery pack fails to nish charging within the stipulated time, disconnect the AC
adapter to stop charging and contact your dealer or Hioki representative.
• Consult your dealer or nearest service station should liquid leaks, strange odor, heat,
discoloration, deformation and other abnormal conditions occur during use, charging
or storage. Should these conditions occur during use or charging, turn off and
disconnect the instrument immediately.
• Do not expose the instrument to water and do not use it in excessively humid
locations or locations exposed to rain.
• Do not expose the instrument to strong impact and do not throw it around.
• Heed the following instructions to avoid battery pack performance drop or leakage.
• The battery pack is a consumable. If you are able to use the instrument for only a limited period of time
despite the battery pack being properly charged, the battery pack’s service life is at an end, and it should be
replaced.
• When a battery pack that has not been used for a long time is used, charging may end before the battery
pack is fully charged. In such a case, repeat charging and discharging a number of time before use. (A
battery pack may also be in such a state immediately after purchase.)
• The life of the battery pack (when capacity is 60% or more of initial capacity) is approximately 500 charge-
discharge cycles. (The life differs depending on the conditions of use.)
• To prevent battery pack deterioration when the battery will not be used for 1 month or longer, remove it and
store it in a dry location with an ambient temperature range of between −20°C to 30°C.
• When a battery pack is used, the instrument turns off automatically when the capacity drops. Leaving the
instrument in this state for a long time may lead to over discharge so be sure to turn off the power switch on
the instrument.
• The charging efciency of the battery pack deteriorates at high and low temperatures.
• The battery pack is subject to self-discharge. Be sure to charge the battery pack before initial use. If the
battery capacity remains very low after correct recharging, the useful battery life is at an end.
