Caution in Handling

When using this recorder, always follow the precautions below. Improper handling may lead to
erroneous operations and damages.
1) Users who are not familiar with the operation of this recorder should avoid using it.
2) Storage environment
The storage temperature of the input units is –10 to 60C (except for chart recording paper). Avoid
storing in places where the temperature could rise over the storage temperature and where there is
direct sunlight exposure such as inside an automobile.
3) Use this recorder at locations that satisfy the installation requirement, the category II (CAT II) of the
safety standard for electrical measurement instruments in IEC61010-1 (JIS-C-1001-1).
4) This recorder is a product with a pollution degree of 2.
5) Do not use this recorder at the following locations. In addition, carefully check the environment when
using this recorder.
1. Locations where the temperature and humidity rise due to direct sunlight or heaters. (The operating
environment of the recorder; temperature: 5 to 40 °C, humidity: 35 to 80%)
2. Wet locations
3. Locations where salt, oil, or corrosive gases exist
4. Damp or dusty locations
5. Locations subject to strong vibrations
6. Locations with a strong electromagnetic field
7. This recorder is provided with ventilation openings in order to prevent overheating. Ensure that the
ventilation openings remain unobstructed by covers or materials. Otherwise, the internal
temperature of the recorder rises, causing malfunctions.
6) Be careful of power voltage fluctuations. Do not use the recorder when these are likely to exceed the
rated voltage.
7) If the power supply includes a lot of noise or high-voltage inductive noise, use noise filters to avoid
operation errors.
8) A hard disk drive (HDD) is installed in this product.
1.Please don't power off during normal operation of HDD, due to the risk of data destruction.
2.Please have strong impact and shaking on this product, due to the risk of HDD destruction.
3. Please use it under 5 to 40 ℃ conditions according to the danger of HDD destruction.
9) This recorder uses a touch panel. When touching the panel, do not use a sharp object or push with
high-pressure other than necessary. Press the panel gently with the fingertip. In addition, do not press
more than one button/key at once. Be sure to press only one button/key at a time. Pressing two or more
buttons/keys at once may cause misoperations.
10) Use the chart recording paper specified by A&D. Use of a chart that is not recommended may cause
failure in printing or shorten the life of the thermal head.
11) If the recorder is not used for a long period of time, the internal backup battery (Lithium secondary
battery) may completely discharge, causing the battery life to shorten. When the recorder is not used for
a long period time, supply the recorder with power two or three times a month to charge the battery. (12
hours power-up allows battery to become fully charged.)
12) Do not insert a pointed or sharp object into the ventilation openings of this recorder.
13) To clean this recorder, first turn off the power, place it in a well-ventilated location, and wipe the
recorder with soft cloth moistened with ethanol. Do not use benzene, petroleum solvents, or chemically
treated cloths, as they can cause deformation or discoloration.
14) When transporting the recorder, use the package and packaging material supplied at factory shipment,
or use a package and packaging material more shock-resistance than those supplied.
15) We recommend a periodical calibration to maintain the accuracy of the input units. More reliable
measurements are possible by calibrating the input units once a year (extra cost option).
