Measurement categories

To ensure safe operation of measurement products,

IEC 61010 establishes safety standards for various
electrical environments, categorized as CAT II to
CAT IV, and called measurement categories.
CAT II : Primary electrical circuits in equipment
connected to an AC electrical outlet by a
power cord (portable tools, household
appliances, etc.) CAT II covers directly
measuring electrical outlet receptacles.
CAT III : Primary electrical circuits of heavy
equipment (fixed installations) connected
directly to the distribution panel, and
feeders from the distribution panel to
outlets.
CAT IV : The circuit from the service drop to the
service entrance, and to the power meter
and primary overcurrent protection device
(distribution panel).
Using a measurement product in an environment
designated with a higher-numbered category than
that for which the product is rated could result in a
severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.
Use of a measurement instrument that is not CAT-
rated in CAT II to CAT IV measurement
applications could result in a severe accident, and
must be carefully avoided.

Notes on Safety

Precautions
Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation
and to obtain the full benefits of the various
functions.

Preliminary Check
Before using the product for the first time, verify
that it operates normally to ensure that no damage
occurred during storage or shipping. If you find any
damage, contact your dealer or Hioki representative.

Precautions
 vii

DANGER

To avoid accidents, when using other

measurementdevices with this one, observe the
usage precautions described for each device.
When using a measurement instrument that
does not provide isolation between its input
terminals and chassis or other input terminals,
please pay attention to the following points.
If a signal is applied to an input terminal other
than that to which the current probe is
connected, do not connect the ground-side
terminal to any non-ground potential.
Otherwise, short-circuit current will flow
through the current probe or this device from
the ground terminal, which could cause an
electrical accident or damage.

WARNING

To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the

safety specifications of this instrument, connect
the power cord only to a 3-contact (two-conductor
+ ground) outlet.

CAUTION

To avoid damage to the product, protect it from

physical shock when transporting and handling. Be
especially careful to avoid physical shock from
dropping.
Do not store or use the product where it could be
exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature or
humidity, or condensation. Under such conditions,
the product may be damaged and insulation may
deteriorate so that it no longer meets
specifications.
To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug,
not the cord, when unplugging the cord from the
power outlet.
This product is not designed to be entirely water- or
dust-proof. Do not use it in an especially dusty
environment, nor where it might be splashed with
liquid. This may cause damage.

Precautions
 ix

Maintenance & Service

To clean the product, wipe it gently with a soft
cloth moistened with water or mild detergent.
Never use solvents such as benzene, alcohol,
acetone, ether, ketones, thinners or gasoline, as
they can deform and discolor the case.
If the product seems to be malfunctioning, contact
your dealer or Hioki representative.
When sending the product for repair, pack
carefully to prevent damage in transit. Include
cushioning material so the instrument cannot
move within the package. Be sure to include
details of the problem.
Hioki cannot be responsible for damage that
occurs during shipment.

measurementdevices with this one, observe the
usage precautions described for each device.
When using a measurement instrument that
does not provide isolation between its input
terminals and chassis or other input terminals,
please pay attention to the following points.
If a signal is applied to an input terminal other
than that to which the current probe is

Otherwise, short-circuit current will flow
through the current probe or this device from

WARNING

Before turning the product on, make sure the

supply voltage matches that indicated on its
power connector. Connection to an improper
supply voltage may damage the product and
present an electrical hazard.

(1) Turn the power switch off and connect the power
cord.
(2) Connect the power plug of the sensor to be used to
the power receptacle of the 3272.
(3) Turn the 3272 power switch on, and check that the
front panel power indicator lights.

3.2 Measurement Procedure

See the 3273-50, 3273, 3274, 3275, 3276, CT6700
or CT6701 instruction manual.

NOTE
Make sure the sum of the current consumption of
the connected current probe does not exceed the
rated output current of the 3272 (See Fig.1).
When using the 3272 with Model 3273-50, 3273,
3274, 3275, 3276, CT6700 or CT6701 in general
only one current probe may be connected.
However, depending on the current level of the
object under test, two current probes may be
connected simultaneously.
The current consumption of a current probe is
dependent upon the current level of the object under
test.

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, turn off the power

switch and disconnect the current probe before
replacing the fuse.
Replace the fuse only with one of the specified
characteristics and voltage and current ratings.
Never use unspecified fuses and never use the
product after the fuse holder has shorted. This
will damage the product and cause injury.

To change the fuse, or to alter the power supply

voltage setting, use the following procedure with
reference to the figures.
1. Turn the power switch off, and then remove the
power cord.
2. Using a slot head screwdriver or the like, bias
sideways the catch which holds the fuse holder into
the power input socket as shown in the figure, and
then remove the fuse holder.
3. When changing the power supply fuse:
Change the power supply fuse for a new one of the
same rating and specification.
When altering the power supply voltage setting:
(1) Remove the voltage selector from the fuse
holder, and reinsert it after having rotated it so
that the desired new power supply voltage

setting appears in the voltage window as shown
in the figure.
Then recheck the setting value shown in the
voltage window. (The voltage display is upside
down and backwards.).
(2) Change the power supply fuse for a new one
whose rating and specification are appropriate
for the new power supply setting.
4. Replace the fuse holder by reinserting it into the
power input socket.
