Operating Precautions

Handling the Instrument
To avoid electric shock, do not remove the instrument's case.
The internal components of the instrument carry high voltages and may become very
hot during operation.
Do not allow the instrument to get wet, and do not take measurements with wet hands.
This may cause an electric shock.
• To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from physical shock when transporting and
handling. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock from dropping.
• After use, always turn OFF the power.
This instrument may cause interference if used in residential areas. Such use must be avoided unless the
user takes special measures to reduce electromagnetic emissions to prevent interference to the reception of
radio and television broadcasts.
Handling the Cables
If the insulation on a cable melts, the metal conductor may be exposed. Do not use any
cable whose metal conductor is exposed. Doing so could result in electric shock,
burns, or other hazard.
• Do not move wires connected to the voltage input terminals or current input termi-
nals unnecessarily. Doing so may loosen the connection between the wires and ter-
minals, causing the terminals to heat or melt due to increased contact resistance
and posing the risk of an electrical accident or electric shock.
• Do not tie the cables connected to the input terminals in a bundle with the power
supply cord, the communication cables, the external I/O wires, or the current sensor
cables. Doing so may result in a short-circuit, electric shock, or instrument malfunc-
tion.
• Avoid stepping on or pinching cables, which could damage the cable insulation.
• To avoid breaking the cables, do not bend or pull them.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplugging it from
the power outlet.
