Model: 3246-60
The Hioki 3246-60 Pencil HiTester is designed for electricians and technicians who need a compact, one-handed tool for probing electrical test points in dim panels, cramped equipment bays, and other difficult-to-access areas. Its pencil-shaped design combines the test probe and digital display into a single compact body.
A bright LED at the tip illuminates the exact measurement point, making it easier to identify test points when working in low-light conditions. This integrated design allows technicians to hold and operate the meter like a pen while carrying out quick electrical checks.
The 3246-60 supports DC voltage measurement from 419.9mV to 600V across five ranges, with ±1.3% rdg accuracy. AC voltage measurement covers 4.199V to 600V across four ranges, with a frequency range of 50Hz to 500Hz.
The meter also supports resistance measurement from 419.9Ω to 41.99MΩ across six ranges. A built-in continuity buzzer and diode check function provide additional options for quick wiring and component verification. The continuity buzzer specification is 50Ω ±40Ω, while the diode check function has an open terminal voltage of ≤3.4V.
For everyday electrical testing, the 3246-60 includes overload protection against accidental incorrect range connections. A single CR2032 battery provides approximately 150 hours of operation in standard DC mode, while battery life is approximately 30 hours when the LED is used continuously.
The compact, single-hand design makes the Hioki 3246-60 a practical companion to a primary multimeter for quick voltage, resistance, continuity, and diode checks.
The Hioki 3246-60 is part of Hioki's range of professional measurement instruments available through GeneralTech Shop. If you prefer a flat, card-style multimeter for convenient wallet or pocket carrying, the Hioki 3244-60 provides an alternative option.
