Hioki DT4256 Digital Multimeter Price in Bangladesh

The Hioki DT4256 Digital Multimeter is the most current-measurement-complete model in ASTZ’s Hioki lineup, combining direct DC current measurement, direct AC current measurement, and clamp-on current up to 1000A in a single instrument. Available through ASTZ (Advance Science & Technology Zone), an authorized distributor of genuine Hioki instruments in Bangladesh, this model also includes full resistance, capacitance, and diode testing, along with a dual-threshold voltage detection function — making it the closest thing to an all-in-one field diagnostic tool in the DT4200 series without stepping up to the temperature-equipped DT4253.

Hioki DT4256 Digital Multimeter – Overview

The Hioki DT4256 Digital Multimeter belongs to Hioki’s DT4200 series and sits at the top of ASTZ’s general-purpose lineup alongside the DT4252 and DT4255. Where the DT4252 offers only direct current measurement and the DT4255 offers only clamp-on current measurement, this model combines both: direct DC current (60mA–10A), direct AC current (600mA–10A), and clamp-on AC current (10A–1000A) using optional clamp probes. Add to that 1000V DC/AC voltage range with AUTO AC/DCV switching, resistance up to 60MΩ, capacitance up to 10mF, diode testing, and dual-threshold voltage detection, and this model covers nearly every general electrical diagnostic scenario a technician is likely to encounter.

HIOKI DT4256 Price in Bangladesh

The HIOKI DT4256 price in Bangladesh is 21,000৳, available at ASTZ with genuine manufacturer warranty and authentic Japan-sourced stock. Given the combined direct-current and clamp-current capability this model offers, the price reflects genuine value compared to buying separate instruments for the same functions. Always confirm you’re purchasing from an authorized distributor — some marketplace listings sell this model unbranded or without manufacturer warranty at significantly higher prices, which is both a financial risk and a safety concern when working with high-voltage or high-current measurements. At ASTZ, every unit is genuine Hioki stock with full after-sales support.

What Makes the HIOKI DT4256 Multimeter Different

Compared to the DT4255, the HIOKI DT4256 multimeter adds direct current measurement — both DC (60mA–10A) and AC (600mA–10A) — on top of the clamp-on current function both models share. This means the DT4256 gives technicians three distinct ways to measure current: direct DC, direct AC, and clamp-on up to 1000A, while the DT4255 offers only the clamp-on option. Compared to the DT4252, the DT4256 adds clamp-on current up to 1000A and dual-threshold voltage detection, both of which the DT4252 lacks. Compared to the DT4253, the DT4256 does not include temperature measurement or 4–20mA percentage conversion, keeping it focused purely on electrical measurement rather than process instrumentation. This positions the DT4256 as the most versatile current-measurement instrument in the lineup for technicians who need flexibility across different current measurement scenarios without carrying multiple tools.

Key Features: Hioki DT4256 Digital Multimeter

1. Triple Current Measurement Modes

2. AUTO AC/DCV Mode Switching

Automatically detects and switches between AC and DC voltage measurement, speeding up routine diagnostic work.

3. Dual-Threshold Voltage Detection

Hi (40–600V) and Lo (80–600V) AC detection thresholds let technicians confirm live circuits at different sensitivity levels before physical contact.

4. Full Resistance, Capacitance & Diode Testing

5. Extended Frequency Range (up to 99.99 kHz)

Wider frequency measurement range than the pocket-tier models, useful for verifying drive-frequency and signal integrity.

6. Fast Continuity Check with Visual + Audible Alert

Buzzer sound and red LED indicator at 25Ω or less, with 0.5 ms response time for quick wire-tracing.

7. Low-Pass Filter for Inverter Measurements

Filters high-frequency harmonics for accurate fundamental voltage readings on inverter and motor-drive systems.

Which model should you choose?

• Choose this Hioki DT4256 Digital Multimeter if you need both direct and clamp-on current measurement alongside full voltage, resistance, capacitance, and diode diagnostics.
• Choose the DT4221 if your work is mostly voltage checking under 600V.
• Choose the DT4222 if you need general-purpose resistance, capacitance, and diode testing at 600V.
• Choose the DT4252 if direct current up to 10A is enough and you don’t need clamp measurement.
• Choose the DT4253 if you also need temperature measurement and 4–20mA loop testing.
• Choose the DT4254 if you specifically need 1700V DC range for solar PV work.
• Choose the DT4255 if clamp-on current alone is sufficient and you don’t need direct current measurement.

Who Should Buy the Hioki DT4256 Digital Multimeter

• Electricians and technicians who need flexibility across direct and clamp-on current measurement scenarios
• Industrial maintenance engineers working on panels, motor feeders, and equipment requiring current up to 1000A via clamp
• Facility teams who want one instrument covering nearly all general electrical diagnostic needs
• Field service professionals who encounter varied job requirements and need one versatile meter rather than multiple tools
• Quality control teams requiring comprehensive diagnostics with optional USB data logging

How to Use the Hioki DT4256 Digital Multimeter

1. Insert the batteries — install all 4 LR03 alkaline batteries before first use.
2. Select the measurement mode — rotate the dial to Voltage (AUTO AC/DCV), Resistance, Capacitance, Diode Test, Continuity, or Current.
3. For direct current measurement — connect leads to the dedicated current input terminal; never exceed the 10A rated input.
4. For clamp current measurement — attach the optional clamp probe accessory and clamp around a single conductor for readings up to 1000A.
5. For voltage detection — select the Hi or Lo threshold, then bring the probe near the conductor to check for live circuits.
6. Read the display — the main LCD shows the measured value; use MAX/MIN/Average to track fluctuating readings.
7. Power down after use — the auto-power save feature helps, but manually switching off extends battery life further.

Maintenance & Care Tips

• Store in a dry place; avoid extreme humidity common in Bangladesh’s monsoon season
• Replace all 4 LR03 batteries together when the low-battery indicator appears
• Never exceed the rated current input on either direct or clamp-based measurement
• Discharge capacitors fully before capacitance testing to avoid inaccurate readings
• Wipe the holster and body with a dry cloth — avoid solvents on the display window
• Periodically verify calibration accuracy, especially before critical current or high-voltage diagnostic work
