- Analog multimeter measures voltage, resistance, and current.
- Average-sensing meter provides accurate readings when measuring linear loads where the current or voltage has an undistorted waveform.
- Battery tester feature determines a of charge in 1.5V batteries.
- Measures temperature with a thermistor probe (sold separately).
- Meets International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standard 61010 and is certified for Category III installations up to 600V.
The Hioki 3030-10 HiTester analog multimeter is an
average-sensing, manual-ranging meter for measuring voltage,
resistance, and current in electrical testing applications. The
meter comes with a set of detachable test leads. This
average-sensing, or average-responding, meter provides accurate
readings when measuring linear loads, such as standard induction
motors and incandescent lights, where the current or voltage has
an undistorted waveform. It is a manual-ranging meter that
requires the operator to choose the appropriate operating range
for the property being measured. The battery tester feature
determines the a of charge remaining in 1.5V batteries. A
thermistor probe (sold separately) can be connected to the meter
to take temperature measurements. The meter can also test the
functionality of LED lights. A 0.5-amp/250V fuse is installed to
help protect the operator from electric shock due to transient
voltage. It meets International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
safety standard 61010 and is certified for Category III
installations up to 600V, which covers items used with enclosed
building circuit installations (such as service panel parts,
branch circuits, and fixed installations that are connected
directly to a building's AC power supply). The meter can survive
falls of up to 1 meter to a hardwood or concrete floor. It comes
with a carrying case for transport and storage.

Multitesters (also called multimeters) are electrical test meters
that measure multiple properties of an electrical circuit, such
as current, voltage, resistance, capacitance, and continuity.
Available in handheld or benchtop models, multitesters diagnose
electrical problems in electrical equipment, wiring, and power
supplies. A variety of probes, clamps, and leads can be used to
connect the meter to a circuit or device. Multitesters display
information either in analog or digital form. Factors that
influence meter choice include the electrical properties to be
measured, the anticipated range of results, and the desired level
of protection against transient voltages. Safety ratings are
based on the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC)
standards for low-voltage test equipment. IEC 61010 delineates
four overvoltage installation categories. In general, a meter
with a category IV rating will provide more protection against
transient voltages than a meter with a lower category rating.
Hioki manufactures memory recorders, automatic test equipment,
and electronic testing and measurement instruments. The company,
founded in 1935, is headquartered in Japan and has a U.S. office
in Cranbury, NJ.
