Page 10: Battery Replacement
Battery Replacement FMX-004 uses 9V, 6F22 Manganese battery. The life of the battery is about 30 hours. When FMX-004 is turned on, the battery condition is displayed as shown in the figure below. Replace the battery when display shows the battery to be empty. CAUTION! The dark area of battery indicator on the display is not proportional to the remaining energy. -

When the power is on, if POWER button is pressed, FMX-004 turns off and all indications disappear. CAUTION! • FMX-004 can be activated by pressing POWER button just once lightly. There is no need to press it repeatedly. Frequent unnecessary on/off operation or pressing by a nail may affect the life of switches and the cover sheet. • In standard mode, the measurement cannot be done for more than five minutes when “Auto power off function” is operative. For more than five minutes measurement, select continuous measurement mode when power is turned on as...
- Page 13 CAUTION! • Make certain that the surface of a white plastic plate under the ion balance plate is clean before attaching it to FMX-004 for ion balance measurement. • The ion balance plate should be stored or used in a place having less than 60 %RH. Grounding Connection FMX-004 can be used to measure low voltages up to ±300 V in the ion balance mode. It is important to connect it to ground using the grounding lead supplied, especially for ion balance measurement.

Page 14: Function
• In standard mode, the measurement cannot be done for more than five minutes when “Auto power off function” is operative. For more than five minutes measurement, select continuous measurement mode when power is turned on as described in the next section. FUNCTION Continuous Mode 1. Keep [POWER] button pressed for three seconds after turning the sensor side toward an uncharged area. The number of red bars in the upper right side bar graph on the display increases by one at one second interval. -
Page 15: Zero Adjustment By "Digital Zero Function
CAUTION! • FMX-004 cannot be turned off without pressing POWER button in continuous measurement mode. Confirm that power is turned off by observing the disappearance of all indicators. If power is not turned off, the battery will be drained completely. • FMX-004 cannot return to this mode automatically, even if it is turned on again after turning off in continuous mode. For going into continuous mode, the operation described in Continuous Mode should be carried out when power is turned on. -
Page 16: Hold Mode
CAUTION! • The focussing distance of the two red light beams is adjusted to 25 mm in factory. It can be checked easily by directing the beams toward a white sheet of paper and moving the fieldmeter toward and away from the paper. • If the reading blinks at over range with a continuous warning sound during the static charge measurement, maximum voltage reading limit has been exceeded. If this condition persists, the sensor of FMX-004 might be damaged. -
Page 17: Analog Out Mode
• Please note that the display of measured voltage as the numerical value and the bar graph are not saved in FMX-004, even if it is turned off in hold mode. Data and mode informations will be lost by switching off the unit. Analog Out Mode 1. With the optional analog out cable, you can use an analog out. The optional analog out cable is a mini plug with a specification of φ3.5mm (monaural type). -
