Handling Precautions
Warning
1. Do not make any
exchanging the printed circuit board) to the
product.
It may cause human injuries and damage.
2. Use the device in the specified range.
Using it out of the specified range may result in fires, electric
shock, or damage. Confirm the specifications before using.
3. Measurement near high-voltage
Avoid measuring near high-voltage exceeding specifications
as it can be dangerous.
4. Handling of ground wire
Be sure to provide a ground wire to ensure safety and high-
accuracy measurement when using the sensor.
Also, if the ground wire is not connected properly, the power is
pooled in the sensor part and/or ground terminal, which can
discharge to an operator's hand. Handle the sensor part and
ground terminal carefully.
If grounding is not provided,
• Measurement accuracy gets worse.
• The sensor is charged and can discharge to an operator's
hand.
5. Do not apply strong impact.
Do not drop, allow collision or apply excessive shock to the
sensor when handling. It can result in damage of the sensor
and accidents.
6. Distance measurement is 50 mm. Use a display of
label attached to the sensors as a guide.
7. The measurement of a part with a high-charge
potential can be highly dangerous as it can cause a
discharge to the user's hand.
In this case, use a handle specific for measuring high-voltage,
which is available as an option. Also, gradually bring the
sensor part close to the measured target from a distance, and
stop the measurement immediately when the displayed value
overflows (HHH) or underflows (LLL). (A target with a high-
charge potential is very dangerous. The measured value does
not change even if the distance is shortened.)

Warning
1. Handheld electrostatic meters are CE marked;
however, they are not equipped with surge
protection against
countermeasures should be applied directly to the
system components as necessary.
2. Handheld electrostatic meters do not have an
explosion proof rating. Never use in the presence of
an explosive gas as this may cause a serious
explosion.
