- Hello everyone! This is the 3rd and final part in my 3-segment videos on the Hioki DT4261 True RMS Wireless Digital Multimeter with the Z3210 wireless adapter. In this video, I focused more on the innovative features and functional testing of the unit itself. The first and second parts which are linked below deal on the wireless functionalities. You don't have to watch one to understand the others since each one is more or less self-contained. The video is around 36 minutes long.

In your review unit continuity and diode check is swapped, continuity is suppose to be the main function printed symbol is in white, and diode check is in blue so is the second function, may be a batch error but more likely you have a proto unit. but on myne and all others i have seen it is the correct way around i dont push the FN button to get to the buzzer.
I appreciate your keen observation. I noticed this, too and I though it was peculiar, until I discovered this is a Pro feature built into the DT4261. Unless Hioki made a major version update, I don't think there's any difference among the official DT4261 units released. Mine has version 1.01 firmware. What you observed has something to do with a power up option called "User Setting Retention" page 103 of the user's manual, which you can activate ON and OFF by pressing Fn while turning ON the device. It remembers the last function you used in those nested positions, like what you described. So if the last function I used was Diode, the next time I turn ON the device, it will start where I left off: at Diode. It works also on V~Hz, AutoV/AC/DC/AC-DC, A~/Hz, and AutoA/AC/DC/AC-DC.
This is quite useful for professionals who want their DMM to default to a certain function whenever they turn ON their DMM. For example, some people may want voltage to default to DC at all times. Simply use DC volts last and next time you turn on the DT4261, it defaults to DC-voltage.
To turn this OFF user setting retention, simply repeat the FN-Power up option. It will then default to the white function in those nested positions. Thanks for your support!
@@ramschannelreviews you are right found it in the manual and tried it and it works, i never knew it could do that.
@@stiaankruger2699 Glad that helped. Safe testing!
Great Review! So much so I decided to go out and purchase this meter. I can't wait to try at work.
Thanks for your comments! I suggest that you also get a case for it. Even a generic one will do, if the Hioki case isn't available. I have a short video of it here. ua-cam.com/video/2mmF1Kt2Yho/v-deo.html
maraming maraming salamat po sa mga very informative na contents nyo..more power po!!!
Maraming salamat din po sa inyong suporta, Sir!
Very thorough, thank you
I appreciate your comments. Thank you!
Thanks for the video(s)! Looks like a nice piece of kit
Thanks for your comments! The DT4261 is the best DMM I have. Hioki still makes their test equipment in Japan. I think that makes a lot of difference in terms of quality and ease of use. Good luck!
@@ramschannelreviews These look very good indeed! The more I read and watch about them, the more I like them ;)
@@GeorgeFL Thanks again. I appreciate your support!
Thank you for your honest review. This has made up my mind to order the Multimeter with the wireless Adapter. For over 30 years I have used a trusted Fluke multimeter at work (and owned by the Employer). Now that I am retired, I have got a personally a whole set of Multimeters of the cheaper range, which promise the world but don't deliver. They are too slow....can't be read in Sun light, terrible Min/Max Hold functions....etz. I have recently purchased a Hioki Isolation Tester and was very impressed. So now its time to add a professional Multimeter, despite the cost.
Thanks for your comments. Did you mean Hioki insulation tester? I guess you call it isolation tester Down Under. I know what you mean about some of those cheap multimeters. For its DMMs and clamp meters, the electric utility I used to work with before only used Fluke also. So I got a few of that for my own use, as well. Then I discovered made in Japan Hioki test equipment. I have more Hioki than Fluke now. The DT4261 is their latest. I am sure it will serve you well, especially with the Z3210 wireless adapter. I monitor amazon because sometimes they have a good deal on Hioki instruments. If you buy from your local supplier, the cost may be higher than amazon but you're likely covered with 3-year warranty, which isn't available from amazon. That said, there was never an occasion where I needed to claim warranty for any of my Hioki instruments. They're every bit as professional and as reliable as the best test equipment in their class. Good luck, mate.
@@ramschannelreviews Yes I meant "Insulation Tester"...LOL. Yep finished after 30+years with a State Electricity Distributor. Started on the "Line" side, then followed up with a Electrical Fitter Trade, then cut over to Communications Trade covering RF/Microwave/fibreOptic...and anything else connected to Comms for the same company. My Multimeter was a Fluke 83 that I had for over 25years and it never failed me once. I am hoping the Hioki will prove just as reliable....and fast !!!.
@@alf699 Great, varied work experience! I clocked 27 years mostly in the area of power quality and energy solutions when i was with electric utility, hence my affinity toward portable electrical test equipment. Hope you get the best instruments for your future projects.
Does the diode test beep also stop when you turn off the beeper? And how would you rate its bar graph? Fast, slow?
Yes. Once the Beeper is turned off by that power up option, the DT4261 is totally silent: diode, resistance.. everything, even the continuity buzzer keeps quiet. But the visual cues remain, like a red LCD screen warning. I would rate the bar graph fast. Thanks for watching!
Fine
Thanks for watching!
안녕하세요.
최근에 오랫동안 사용했던 FLUKE 117을 분실했습니다. 속상합니다.
동일한 제품을 구매하기 위해 검색하던 중 우연히 당신의 FLUKE 116 영상을 시청했고, 더불어 HIOKI DT4261 영상도 같이 시청했습니다. 구매 예정이었던 FLUKE 117은 좋은 제품이지만 오래되었고, HIOKI DT4261는 최신 제품이면서 새로운 기능이 있어서 맘에 들었습니다.
영상을 시청한 후 고민끝에 DT4261 및 Z3210을 같이 구매하기로 결정했고 어제 구매했습니다.
판매자가 선물로 HIOKI 3244-60 모델을 같이 배송해 준다고 합니다. 기분이 좋습니다.
다른 사람의 리뷰 영상도 있지만, 당신의 리뷰하는 방식이 정말로 맘에듭니다.
다른 영상도 잘 시청하겠습니다.
Fluke 117을 분실하셨다니 유감입니다. 하지만 Z3210이 장착된 Hioki DT4261로 교체하신 것은 훌륭한 선택이었습니다. 축하합니다!
DT4261은 뛰어난 디지털 멀티미터로, 가장 진보된 최고 품질의 DMM 중 하나입니다. 특히 Hioki Gennect Cross 앱과 Direct to Excel 기능을 사용하는 방법을 알게 되면 도움이 될 것이라고 확신합니다. Hioki 3244-60 카드형 디지털 멀티미터도 증정했기 때문에 좋은 거래를 했습니다!
당신의 지원에 대단히 감사합니다. 감사합니다! Hioki DT4261 세트를 빨리 받으시길 바랍니다. 행운을 빌어요!
Hi, how about the speed of continuity latches? Is this speed like the Fluke 87V?
And wireless adapter comes with this packages?
Thanks for watching. I've no Fluke 87V so I can't say. But on its own, the DT4261 latches on as fast as I can make contact and never missed a beat. Will try & upload a short later. They offer the Z3210 wireless adapter as optional. I think the model code if you want DT4261 bundled with Z3210 is called Hioki DT4261-90. Please double check to be sure.

How does the auto hold works? On this 4261 ?Hioki dt4282 auto hold need to be engage after every measurement so when u enable auto hold after the reading is displayed and on auto hold, next measurement you will need to re reanable auto hold again everytime. Annoying
I appreciate your question. The autohold of the Hioki DT4261 only needed to be set once for a particular function. You don't have to repeatedly reset it. I think it's better if I just show you. Here's a link to a short video where I illustrated this advanced feature.
ua-cam.com/video/BVfNUaqjgDU/v-deo.html
The DT4261's autohold was designed around a set of parameters. So, there's limitations. But on the whole, I think it's quite useful and saves time. By the way, that's great multimeter, DT4282, that you have there.
@@ramschannelreviews wow thats good to hear, thanks ypu for the info. Planning to buy 4261, by the way I have the Uni-T 117c 60k counts meter. Its a good meter only gripe is the holster is embedded I love the one like ng 15bmax removable holster. Love your review on it as well
@@juancarlossandoval5628 Thanks for your support! What's the IP rating of the 117C? Perhaps the permanent moulding is due to its weather protection? It's interesting that it has a dedicated selection for an AC clamp accessory (1mV/A like the UTCS06A) and also a mV AC function. Have you tested them with the CS06A?
That buzzer is really a pain
Yeah, it's quite aggressive at times.
