High-Accuracy Digital Multimeters DT4281 and DT4282
The DT4281 and DT4282 are high-accuracy digital multimeters for precision measurement, testing, and development when standard DMMs no longer provide sufficient resolution, sufficient DC accuracy or miss advanced voltage functions. They offer 0.025% basic DC accuracy, 60,000-count resolution, and DC, AC, and AC+DC voltage measurement up to 1000 V.
Both high-end DMMs support precise testing in electrical systems and industrial environments. The DT4282 supports demanding applications with direct AC/DC current measurement up to 10 A and conductance measurement, while the DT4281 Digital Multimeter supports compatible current sensors from 10 A to 1000 A for service, maintenance, and commissioning in the field.

Industrial Digital Multimeters DT4261 and DT4261-90
The Digital Multimeters DT4261 and DT4261-90 are designed for service, industrial maintenance, troubleshooting, voltage verification and commissioning in electrical installations, industrial power systems and photovoltaic installations.
Both models measure AC/DC voltage up to 1000 V, support direct AC/DC current measurement up to 10 A, compatible multi-range current clamps up to 1000 A, and a dedicated LoZ voltage mode. These instruments also support DC voltage measurement up to CAT III 2000 V with the optional P2010 High Voltage Divider.
The difference is that the DT4261-90 includes the Z3210 Bluetooth Adapter as standard, while the Bluetooth adapter can be added later to the DT4261 if needed.

Standard Digital Multimeters DT4252, DT4253, DT4255 and DT4256
The DT4252, DT4253, DT4255 and DT4256 form the standard digital multimeter range in the HIOKI portfolio for electrical testing, service and troubleshooting. All of them cover AC/DC voltage measurement up to 1000 V, True RMS, a 6000 count display, and resistance, frequency and continuity measurement. Depending on the model, additional functions include direct current measurement, 4 to 20 mA, thermocouple temperature measurement, a fused voltage input, or support for compatible multi range current sensors up to 1000 A.
Within this group, the DT4252 focuses on low DC voltages and direct AC/DC current input, the DT4253 on low DC currents, 4 to 20 mA and thermocouples, the DT4255 supports voltage measurements with added protection at the voltage input, and the DT4256 on a particularly broad function set for service and maintenance.

Pocket Digital Multimeters DT4223 and DT4224
The DT4223 and DT4224 are compact digital multimeters for installation work, service and everyday electrical checks. Both provide True RMS, AC/DC voltage measurement up to 600 V, a 6000-count display, as well as resistance, frequency and continuity measurement in a very compact design. This makes them suitable for mobile measurement tasks in the field, in workshops and in everyday service work.
The DT4223 Digital Multimeter is designed for fast voltage checks with automatic AC/DC detection and non-contact voltage detection. The DT4224 Digital Multimeter adds capacitance measurement and diode test to the common function set, making it the more universal model for general electrical testing tasks.
