Helping personnel analyze issues in the field
Harmonic measurementWhen combined with GENNECT Cross (*1), you can perform simple harmonic analysis. Applications include harmonic measurement of power conditioners for solar systems and problem analysis of power supply systems.See here for details about GENNECT Cross Problems that can be caused by harmonics
・ Equipment burn-out and destruction due to overheating

Wireless communication capability for even greater convenience Wireless supportWhen the Wireless Adapter Z3210 is installed, Bluetooth® wireless communication is enabled. It transfers measurements to your smartphone or tablet and allows you to quickly create reports with field photos and drawings.See details about Wireless Adapter Z3210 |

Excel® Direct Input Function (*2)
Boost work efficiency in the field by letting you directly transfer measurement data to (i.e., enter measured values directly into) templates created as Excel®. |

Prevents incorrect current measurementFuse check functionWhen switching from the clamp function to the current function, a fuse disconnection check is automatically performed. This allows the user to know if the fuse is broken before current measurement, which prevents erroneous measurement. |

Ensuring safety by preventing erroneous test lead insertionTerminal shuttersDue to the current terminal’s low impedance, measuring voltage after erroneously inserting a test lead into the current terminal will cause the fuse to blow. The DT4261’s terminal shutters are linked to the instrument’s rotary switch such that they block access to test lead terminals that aren’t being used, making it physically impossible to insert a lead into the wrong terminal. |

Stop worrying about losing test lead caps Test Lead L9300 incorporate integrated caps for greater convenience and safety. The design lets you change the measurement category simply by sliding the test lead’s protective finger guard. You no longer have to worry about losing caps! |
