5 Operating Precautions Operating Precautions Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full benefits of the various functions. Before Use • 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.
6 Operating Precautions Installing • The instrument should be operated only with the bottom or rear side downwards. • Vents must not be obstructed. At least 50 mm spacing on all sides At least 50 mm When using the optional printer, provide enough space for ejected recording paper or use the Model 220H Paper Winder (optional recording paper auto winder). Handling the Instrument • Do not allow the instrument to get wet, and do not take measurements with wet hands. This may cause an electric shock.
7 Operating Precautions Before Connecting Before turning power on • Before turning the instrument on, make sure the supply voltage matches that indicated on the its power connector. Connection to an improper supply voltage may damage the instrument and present an electrical hazard. • To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifications of this instrument, connect the power cord only to a 3-contact (two-conductor + ground) outlet.
8 Operating Precautions Input and Measurement Precautions The maximum input voltage and maximum rated voltage to ground (between the grounds of the input terminals and the instrument, and between inputs of other analog modules) of each input module and external input terminals are shown below. To avoid risk of electric shock and damage to the instrument, be careful to not exceed these ratings.
9 Operating Precautions To avoid accidents in the event of a short circuit, when measuring commercial mains voltage using the Model 8936, 8938, 8956, 8957 or 8959 input modules, connection should be made only at the secondary side of a breaker. Never make connections at the primary side of a breaker, as unrestricted current flow could cause a serious accident if a short circuit occurs.

81 7.1 Troubleshooting Maintenance and Chapter 7 Service 7.1 Troubleshooting Inspection and Repair Refer to "Appendix 1 Error Messages" in the Instruction Manual for error messages. If damage occurs to the hard disk or MO disk, we cannot restore or analyze the lost data. We therefore recommend maintaining a backup of any important data. If damage is suspected, check the "Troubleshooting" section before contacting your dealer or Hioki representative.
82 7.1 Troubleshooting Disposing of the Instrument This instrument includes a lithium battery to retain settings. Remove this battery before disposing of the instrument. Also remove the optional Model 9719 Memory Backup Unit, if installed. See "Appendix 6 Disposing of the Instrument" in the Instruction Manual Before returning for repair If Power and Operating Keys Malfunction Symptom The display does not appear when you turn the power on. Keys do not work.

84 7.2 Cleaning 7.2 Cleaning Cleaning the Instrument and Input Modules • To clean the instrument and input modules, wipe it gently with a soft cloth moistened with water or mild detergent. Never use solvents such as benzene, alcohol, acetone, ether, ketones, thinners or gasoline, as they can deform and discolor the case. • Wipe the LCD gently with a soft, dry cloth. Cleaning the Air Filters Air filters are installed in the bottom panel of the instrument.
85 7.2 Cleaning Print Head Cleaning Normally, no maintenance is required. However, depending on usage conditions, dirt and paper dust may accumulate on the thermal head over the long term, causing light or smeared printing. In this case, clean the head by the following procedure. Self-Check Cleaning Before Cleaning Recording paper is required to clean the print head. Verify that the recording paper is loaded correctly.
86 7.2 Cleaning Washing the Print Head 1 Moisten the back side of a piece of printing paper with undiluted alcohol, and insert it into the printer. If the front side is moistened, it becomes discolored. Back Side of Printing Paper Be careful not to apply too much undiluted alcohol. 2 Lower the head-raising lever, and wash the head by sliding the paper back and forth.
