1. Introduktion
This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and effective use of the Hioki DT4252 Standard Digital Multimeter. The DT4252 is a True-RMS digital multimeter designed for general electrical applications, offering measurements for AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance, continuity, diode, capacitance, and frequency. Please read this manual thoroughly before operation to ensure correct usage and to prevent accidents.
2. Sikkerhedsoplysninger
Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent electric shock, injury, or damage to the instrument.
- Brug ikke multimeteret, hvis det ser beskadiget ud, eller hvis testledningerne er beskadigede.
- Verify the function switch is in the correct position for the measurement being performed.
- Do not exceed the maximum input ratings for any function. The DT4252 is rated for 1000V AC/DC and 10A direct input.
- Vær forsigtig, når du arbejder med voltagover 30V AC RMS, 42V peak eller 60V DC. Disse voluminertages udgør en stødfare.
- Always connect the common (COM) test lead first and disconnect it last.
- Ensure your hands are dry and use insulated gloves when necessary.
- Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears.
- Do not attempt to measure current on a circuit with voltage present without proper precautions and understanding of the circuit.

4.4. Indgangsterminaler
- COM: Common terminal for the black test lead.
- V Ω •))) →|← •F Hz: Input terminal for red test lead for voltage, resistance, continuity, diode, capacitance, and frequency measurements.
- A: Input terminal for red test lead for current measurements up to 10A.
5. Opsætning
5.1. Batteriinstallation
- Sørg for, at multimeteret er slukket.
- Find batteridækslet på bagsiden af enheden.
- Brug en skruetrækker til at løsne skruen/skruerne, der fastgør dækslet.
- Remove the cover and insert four (4) AAA batteries, observing correct polarity (+/-).
- Replace the cover and secure it with the screw(s).
5.2. Tilslutning af testledninger
Insert the test leads into the appropriate input terminals:
- Always connect the black test lead to the KOM terminal.
- For bdtage, resistance, continuity, diode, capacitance, and frequency measurements, connect the red test lead to the V Ω •))) →|← •F Hz terminal.
- For current measurements (up to 10A), connect the red test lead to the A terminal.
6. Betjeningsvejledning
Before making any measurement, ensure the test leads are correctly connected and the rotary switch is set to the appropriate function.
6.1. Måling af AC/DC-volumentage (V~ / V-)
- Indstil drejekontakten til V~ for AC voltage eller V- for DC voltage.
- Tilslut testledningerne parallelt på tværs af det kredsløb eller den komponent, der skal måles.
- Læs bindtage -værdi på displayet.
6.2. Måling af AC/DC-strøm (A~ / A-)
WARNING: Never connect the multimeter in parallel across a voltage source when in current measurement mode. This can cause a short circuit and damage the meter or circuit.
- Turn OFF power to the circuit.
- Indstil drejekontakten til A~ for vekselstrøm eller A- for jævnstrøm.
- Connect the multimeter in series with the circuit, breaking the circuit to insert the meter.
- Sæt strøm til kredsløbet.
- Aflæs den aktuelle værdi på displayet.
6.3. Measuring Resistance (Ω)
- Sørg for, at kredsløbet eller komponenten er spændingsløs.
- Indstil drejekontakten til Ω.
- Tilslut testledningerne på tværs af komponenten.
- Læs modstandsværdien på displayet.
6.4. Continuity Test (•))) )
- Sørg for, at kredsløbet eller komponenten er spændingsløs.
- Indstil drejekontakten til •))).
- Tilslut testledningerne på tværs af komponenten eller ledningen.
- An audible beep indicates continuity (low resistance). The display will show the resistance value.
6.5. Diode Test (→|←)
- Ensure the diode is de-energized and isolated from the circuit.
- Indstil drejekontakten til →|←.
- Connect the red lead to the anode and the black lead to the cathode. A forward voltage drop (e.g., 0.5V to 0.8V) should be displayed.
- Reverse the leads. The display should show OL (Open Loop) for a good diode.
6.6. Capacitance Measurement (F)
- Sørg for, at kondensatoren er helt afladet før test.
- Indstil drejekontakten til F.

7. Vedligeholdelse
7.1. Rensning
Tør sagen af med annonceamp klud og mildt rengøringsmiddel. Brug ikke slibemidler eller opløsningsmidler. Sørg for, at måleren er helt tør før brug.
7.2. Udskiftning af batteri
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries as described in Section 5.1. Use only new AAA batteries of the same type.
7.3. Udskiftning af sikring
If the current measurement function fails, the fuse may need replacement. The DT4252 uses a 10A fused input. Refer to the detailed service manual for fuse replacement procedures, or contact qualified service personnel.
8. Fejlfinding
If the multimeter does not operate correctly, check the following common issues:
- Ingen visning: Check battery installation and charge level. Replace batteries if necessary.
- Forkerte aflæsninger: Ensure the function switch is set correctly for the measurement type. Verify test lead connections. Check for damaged test leads.
- "OL" (Overbelastning)-visning: The measured value exceeds the selected range. Switch to a higher range or ensure the input is within the meter's specifications.
- Strømmåling virker ikke: Check the 10A fuse. If blown, it needs replacement by qualified personnel.
For persistent issues, contact Hioki customer support.
