Repairs, Inspections, and Cleaning 4.1 Troubleshooting Symptom The instrument is indicating an Is the measured current value too small for the instrument’s abnormal measured value. measurement range? Wrap the wire around the jaw one or more times. Each additional wrap of the wire will increase the measured value, so that wrapping it once yields a measured value that is twice the actual value and wrapping it twice yields a measured value that is three times the actual value.

To prevent instrument damage or an electric shock, use only the screw that are originally installed for securing the battery cover in place. If you have Hioki distributor or reseller. indicator lights up when the battery charge diminishes. Replace the batteries as soon as possible.
Cleaning Screw used to adjust measured values ×3 (Do not adjust) Do not adjust any screws other than the screw holding the battery cover in place. Do not adjust the three screws underneath the cover, which are used to adjust measured values, as doing so may prevent accurate measurement.
