Operating Precautions

Installing

• The instrument should be operated only with the bottom or rear side down-

wards.

• Vents must not be obstructed.

At least 50 mm

At least 50 mm spacing

on all sides

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.

• Never modify the instrument. Only Hioki service engineers should disas-

semble or repair the instrument. Failure to observe these precautions

may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.

• To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from physical shock when trans-

porting and handling. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock from drop-

ping.

• Use the handle to carry the instrument.

See "Chapter 2 Names and Functions of Parts" (⇒ p. 19)

• When the Model 8958 16-Ch Scanner Unit is installed, do not lift up on the

connector section of the unit. The connector section could be damaged.

Handling the Cords and Probes

• Avoid stepping on or pinching cables, which could damage the cable insula-

tion.

• To avoid breaking the cables and probes, do not bend or pull them.

• To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplug-

ging it from the power outlet.

Use only the specified connection cables. Using a non-specified cable may

result in incorrect measurements due to poor connection or other reasons.
