HIOKI 3258 Safety HiTESTER

Product catalog summary
Overview: The SAFETY HiTESTER 3258 is a field measuring instrument designed for safely measuring voltage in breaker panels, optimized for 30-600 V AC. It introduces new technology for measuring voltage on insulated electric cables, enhancing safety by allowing non-destructive measurements through wire insulation.
Specifications: The HiTESTER is applicable for insulated electric lines (100 mm² or thicker) and metal conductors, but not suitable for shielded cables. It displays true RMS values and has a maximum rated voltage to earth of 600 Vrms AC. The device operates with six AA batteries, offering approximately 14 hours of operation.
Safety Features: The instrument is designed to measure safely around metal busbars and terminals, adhering to CAT IV 600V safety standards. It includes safe probe heads made of non-metallic resin and a safety barrier for enhanced protection.
Functionality: The HiTESTER features a data hold function, auto power shutoff, and a low-battery warning. It provides a clear display with a refresh rate of approximately 0.6 seconds and a response time of 2.4 seconds or less. The device is suitable for indoor use up to 2000 meters above sea level.
Measurement Accuracy: The HiTESTER offers auto-ranging capabilities with displayable ranges of 0.0 to 420.0 V and 380 to 600 V. Accuracy varies with frequency, with specific accuracy rates provided for different voltage ranges and cable types.
Operating Conditions: The device operates within a temperature range of 0 to 40°C and a humidity level of 80% RH or less. It is designed for non-condensating environments and can be stored at temperatures between -10 to 50°C.
Additional Information: The HiTESTER is supplied with a manual, a soft case, and six AA batteries. It is distributed by HIOKI in various global locations, with contact information provided for support and inquiries.

To ensure accurate measurements, apply the voltage detector probes perpendicular to the object to be measured. To measure voltage to ground, apply one probe to a ground conductor. Apply each voltage detector probe perpendicular to the object to be measured. Correct measurement...

4 □ HiTESTER 3258 measurement principle Measurements with traditional non-metallic-contact voltmeters and phase detectors dpend on the coupling capacitance (Cj and C2) between voltage detector electrodes in the probe tips and the measurement objects. That voltage detection method can present problems due to the dependence of the coupling capacitance on the material properties of the measurement objects, making accurate voltage determination (Vm = Vm2 - Vmj) problematic. The SAFETY HiTESTER 3258 employs a new technological principle to detect accurate measurement voltage (Vm) independent of coupling...
