What resistance and conductance ranges does the Hioki DT4282 support?
Hioki lists eight resistance ranges from 60.000 Ω to 600.0 MΩ. The DT4282 also has a 600.00 nS conductance function, which Hioki marks as available on the DT4282 only.
What capacitance and frequency ranges are listed for the DT4282?
The specifications list nine capacitance ranges from 1.000 nF to 100.0 mF. Frequency measurement is listed from 99.999 Hz, with 0.5 Hz or more, to 500.00 kHz across five ranges.
Can the DT4282 measure temperature with a thermocouple?
Yes. Hioki lists K-type thermocouple temperature measurement from -40.0°C to 800.0°C. It notes that thermocouple-probe accuracy must be added to main-unit accuracy, specified as ±0.5% rdg. ±3°C.
How long can the DT4282 run on its batteries?
The product specifications call for four LR6 (AA) alkaline batteries and list continuous use of 100 hours. The battery type and runtime are the values Hioki provides for the DT4282's stated power-supply specification.
What accessories are included with the DT4282?
Hioki lists one L9300 test lead, one instruction manual, and four LR6 alkaline batteries as included accessories. USB communication is listed separately as an option rather than as an included accessory.
