Connecting the Sensor 2.2 Connecting the Sensor When the optional current sensor (output connector: Hioki PL14 Connector) (p. 4 3) is connected, its type will be automatically recognized, and settings that match the sensor will be configured automatically (measurement mode, current rating, output rate).
Supplying Power 2.3 Supplying Power Installing/replacing the batteries When using the unit for the first time, be sure to install two LR6 alkaline battery (AA) batteries. Also, before measurement, check that there is adequate power in the batteries. If there is not, replace the batteries. Batteries can be replaced with the protector installed.
Supplying Power Connecting the AC adapter (optional) Be sure to read “AC adapter” (p. 9 ) and “Handling of the cables” (p. 1 0) before connecting the AC adapter. Use the optional AC adapter to supply power from an outlet. When power is supplied via the AC adapter, the unit will run on AC adapter drive even if batteries are installed.
Supplying Power Connecting to an external DC power supply Be sure to read “Handling of the cables” (p. 1 0) before connecting the power supply. When connecting to an external DC power supply, make sure that the supply has the correct rating and uses a compatible connector.
Turning the Power On/Off 2.4 Turning the Power On/Off When using battery power Turning the power on/off Turning the power on: short press Turning the power off: long press When using the AC adapter or an external DC power supply: The unit will remain on at all times.
