Hioki DT4252 Digital Multimeter – General Purpose

The DT4252, which is part of Hioki’s DT4250 series of standard digital multimeters, packs a broad range of measurement capability into a single package.

– DC current　6.000A / 10.00A
– AC current　6.000A / 10.00A

Key Features

±0.3% DC V basic accuracy, wide 40 Hz to 1 kHz AC V frequency characteristics
Measure up to 10A with direct input
Dual display lets you check voltage and frequency simultaneously
Low-pass filter cuts high harmonics (when measuring inverter fundamental waveforms)
USB communications function supports PC measurements (optional)

Measure output voltage on the secondary sides of inverters by eliminating harmonic components

Accurately measure the fundamental wave alone by eliminating harmonic components with the DMM’s low-pass filter function.

Measurement data can be downloaded to, reviewed on, and saved to a computer.

If you connect the DT4252 to a computer with the optional Communication Package DT4900-01, you can graph data stored in the instrument’s internal memory and display measurement results in real time on the computer. In addition, displayed measured values can be saved (in text format).

*The computer and multimeter are electrically isolated by means of optical communications so that data can be sent with peace of mind.

True RMS measurement for accurate measurement of even distorted current waveforms

Digital multimeters implement two types of measurement: mean-value measurement and true RMS measurement. The two methods yield significantly different measurement results for current waveforms, which are often distorted. For accurate measurement, it is necessary to use an instrument with true RMS capability.

Designed and manufactured in Japan to ensure high quality and guaranteed with a 3-year warranty for peace of mind

All development, design, and manufacturing processes for almost all Hioki digital multimeters are carried out at our Head Office in Nagano Prefecture. Some of the industry’s most advanced technological capabilities enable us to deliver products of the highest possible quality.
