occurred during shipping. In particular, check the connectors. If damage is

evident, or if it fails to operate according to the specifications, contact your

dealer or Hioki representative.

Accessories

Verify that the following standard accessories are complete.

Instruction Manual 1

Spare fuse (built into the power inlet) 1

Grounded three-core power cord 1

9615 H.V. TEST LEAD (High voltage and return side ) 2

Shipment of the unit

Use the original packing materials when reshipping the product, if possible.

Warranty

HIOKI cannot be responsible for losses caused either directly or indirectly by

the use of the 3159 with other equipment, or if ownership is transferred to a

DANGER

This product is designed to conform to IEC 61010 Safety Standards, and

has been thoroughly tested for safety prior to shipment. However,

mishandling during use could result in injury or death, as well as

damage to the product. Be certain that you understand the instructions

and precautions in the manual before use. We disclaim any

responsibility for accidents or injuries not resulting directly from

product defects.

Safety Symbols

The symbol printed on the product indicates that the user should

refer to a corresponding topic in the manual (marked with the

symbol) before using the relevant function.

In the manual, the symbol indicates particularly important

information that the user should read before using the product.

Indicates that dangerous voltage may be present at this terminal.

Indicates a fuse.

Indicates AC (Alternating Current).

Indicates DC (Direct Current).

Indicates a protective conductor terminal.

Indicates the ON side of the power switch.

Indicates the OFF side of the power switch.

DANGER

Indicates that incorrect operation presents an extreme hazard that

could result in serious injury or death to the user.

WARNING

Indicates that incorrect operation presents a significant hazard that

could result in serious injury or death to the user.

CAUTION Indicates that incorrect operation presents a possibility of injury to

the user or damage to the product.

NOTE Advisory items related to performance or correct operation of the

product.

Safety Notes

This manual contains information and warnings essential for safe operation

of the product and for maintaining it in safe operating condition. Before

using the product, be sure to carefully read the following safety notes.

The following symbols in this manual indicate the relative importance of

cautions and warnings.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________________________

CAT I Secondary electrical circuits connected to an

AC electrical outlet through a transformer or

similar device.

CAT II Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to

an AC electrical outlet by a power cord (portable

tools, household appliances, etc.)

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).

Overvoltage Categories

This product conforms to the safety requirements for CAT II measurement

products.

To ensure safe operation of measurement products, IEC 60664 establishes

safety standards for various electrical environments, categorized as CAT I to

CAT IV, and called overvoltage categories. These are defined as follows.

Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments with

greater momentary energy, so a measurement product designed for CAT III

environments can endure greater momentary energy than one designed for

CAT II. 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.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________________________

f.s. (maximum display or scale value, or length of scale)

Signifies the maximum display (scale) value or the length of the scale

(in cases where the scale consists of unequal increments or where the

maximum value cannot be defined).

In general, this is the range value (the value written on the range

selector or equivalent) currently in use.

rdg. (displayed or indicated value)

This signifies the value actually being measured, i.e., the value that is

currently indicated or displayed by the measuring instrument.

dgt. (resolution)

Signifies the smallest display unit on a digital measuring instrument,

i.e., the value displayed when the last digit on the digital display is

"1".

Accuracy The specifications in this manual include figures for "measurement accuracy"

when referring to digital measuring instruments, and for "measurement

tolerance" when referring to analog instruments.
