_____________________________________________
f.s. (maximum display or scale value, or length ofscale)Signifies the maximum display (scale) value or thelength of the scale (in cases where the scaleconsists of unequal increments or where themaximum value cannot be defined).In general, this is the range value (the valuewritten 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 ordisplayed by the measuring instrument.
AccuracyThe specifications in this manual include figuresfor "measurement accuracy" when referring todigital measuring instruments, and for"measurement tolerance" when referring toanalog instruments.

_____________________________________________
DANGERTo avoid short circuits and potentially life-threatening hazards, never attach theUNIVERSAL CLAMP ON CT to a circuit thatoperates at more than the 600 Vrms, or overbare conductors.UNIVERSAL CLAMP ON CT should only beconnected to the secondary side of a breaker,so the breaker can prevent an accident if ashort circuit occurs. Connections should neverbe made to the primary side of a breaker,because unrestricted current flow could cause aserious accident if a short circuit occurs.
WARNINGTo avoid electric shock, do not allow theproduct to get wet, and do not use it when yourhands are wet.To avoid electric shock when measuring livelines, wear appropriate protective gear, such asinsulated rubber gloves, boots and a safetyhelmet.
Notes on UseFollow these precautions to ensure safeoperation and to obtain the full benefits of thevarious functions.

CAUTION
Note that the product may be damaged if currentexceeding the selected measurement range isapplied for a long timeDo not store or use the product where it could beexposed to direct sunlight, high temperature orhumidity, or condensation. Under such conditions,the product may be damaged and insulation maydeteriorate so that it no longer meets specifications.To avoid damage to the product, protect it fromvibration or shock during transport and handling,and be especially careful to avoid dropping.Measurements are degraded by dirt on the matingsurfaces of the clamp-on sensor, so keep thesurfaces clean by gently wiping with a soft cloth.Avoid stepping on or pinching the cable, whichcould damage the cable insulation.Keep the cables well away from heat sources, asbare conductors could be exposed if the insulationmelts.To avoid damaging the cables, do not bend or pullthe cables.This product should be installed and operatedindoors only, between 0 and 40 . However, it canbe safely operated down to -10 .When measuring the high-frequency large current,over-heating of the core may occur. Note that theinput never exceed the maximum permissible inputrange. See the figures in Chapter 3,"Specifications".

NOTE Accurate measurement may be impossible inthe presence of strong magnetic fields, suchas near transformers and high-currentconductors, or in the presence of strongelectromagnetic fields such as near radiotransmitters.

Chapter 1 Overview_____________________________________________
Chapter 1Overview
1.1 Product OverviewThe 9279 was developed for to provide a 500 Aclamp sensor corresponding to AC/DC current.The 9279 makes it possible to measure AC/DCcurrent in live power lines without cutting intothe lines. The sensor features good frequencyresponse (amplitude and phase), goodtemperature response (sensitivity and offset),and dielectric strength and is easy to connectand use. Its versatility will find application in awide variety of fields dealing with current andpower measurement.

Chapter 2 Measurement Procedure_____________________________________________
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the output cable, grasp theconnector, not the cable, when unplugging the cable.To prevent damage to the product and sensor, neverconnect or disconnect a sensor while the power is on.The maximum continuous input range is based on heatthat is internally generated during measurement. Neverinput current in excess of this level. Exceeding therated level may result in damage to the cable.The maximum continuous input range varies accordingto the frequency of the current being measured. Seethe figures in Chapter 3, "Specifications"
Chapter 2Measurement Procedure
2.1 Measurement Procedure
12__________________________________________________
Chapter 2 Measurement Procedure_____________________________________________
NOTE To measure small current levels, multiplewindings may be used to increase the relativesensitivity. 10 windings multiplies themeasured current by about a factor of 10.However, in this case the diameter of thewinding should be 20 cm or more, and radial.
This product has a resistance in series with thesignal output circuits. Therefore, if measuringan output signal directly, ensure that the inputresistance of the measuring instrument issufficiently high.

Chapter 2 Measurement Procedure_____________________________________________
Current directionindication
NOTE Grip the clamp lightly so that the lever snapssecurely shut. At that time, avoid to subjectingthe facing surface of the core to shock.Make sure that only one conductor is in thecore. Single-phase (2-wire) and three-phase(3-wire) lines clamped together will not producereading.
1. Close the clamp jaws whenthe clamp jaws are opened.
2. Make sure that the unit'spower switch is OFF.
3. Connect the clamp-on CTconnector to the unit.
4. Turning the power on the unit.5. Press the DMAG switch to
magnetize.(See 2.2 Demagnetizing(DMAG))
6. Lightly press the lever andspread the tips of the clampwith both hands.
7. Align the sensor so that thecurrent direction indicationcorresponds to the directionof current flow through theconductor to be measured,and clamp so that theconductor is in the center ofthe sensor aperture.
14__________________________________________________
Chapter 2 Measurement Procedure_____________________________________________
NOTE After powering on, press DMAG.It is possible to magnetize even if pressingDMAG during input.Always make sure that the clamp jaws arecompletely closed during demagnetising.Demagnetization occurs for about 3 seconds.If an excessive amount of current was input sothat one attempt at demagnetization does notcompletely rid of the remanence, open theclamp jaws and press DMAG, then close theclamps, and press DMAG again.In case of closing the clamp and if the facingsurface of the core is subjected to shock,offset maybe output. In this case, press theDMAG switch with no input on the clamp.When measuring DC current and applyingexceed continuous the maximum permissibleinput, the malfunction may occur. Press theDMAG switch with no input on the clamp, toreturn to normal.If it does not return to normal condition, oreven pressing DMAG, the magnetic isremained in the core, contact your dealer orHioki representative.
2.2 Demagnetizing (DMAG)After measuring rush current or similar of AC orDC current measurement, micro voltage isoutput even if there is no input on the clamp.This is caused by the core characteristic usingthe clamp and magnetic is remained in thecore. This remanent cause measuring error, butit can be removed by pressing DMAG with noinput onto the clamp.
