The Hioki IR4059 is a Bluetooth-compatible insulation ohmmeter equipped with five voltage ranges from 50V/100MΩ to 1000V/4000MΩ, offering safety and convenience for both technicians and students.
Safety release required before applying high voltage
After selecting a high voltage range, the RELEASE button flashes and must be pressed by the technician to allow use of the 500V, 1000V, or PVΩ ranges, this safety feature prevents accidental high-voltage application to low-voltage equipment.

Keep your eyes on the test point when using the test lead with remote switch
The multi-function test lead (L9788-10) is designed to keep your eyes on the test point when making a connection, taking a measurement, and evaluating results.
1. LED light shines a spotlight on the target
2. Red light warns of live voltage detection
3. Measurement start switch
4. View pass/fail results when using the Comparator function

Comparator function for PASS/ FAIL decisions
Compare measured values to pre-set reference values to generate a pass or fail judgment with the Comparator function. The IR4059 provides pass/fail results using a buzzer, a red screen, and a Green/Red light on the multi-function test lead (L9788-10).

White LED lighting that’s easy to read in dim settings
The bight high-intensity screen is easy to read in dim settings and from wide viewing angles.

Measurement switch
Press the thumb operated measurement switch in the top left corner of the IR4059 for a single measurement or lift up for continuous measurement of insulation resistance.

Bluetooth to share live data and report
Export CSV data via USB 2.0 to Excel and with the optional Wireless Bluetooth Adapter Z3210.
- Mirror the IR4059 screen to devices that have the screen mirroring feature.
- share data onto one device at a time using Hioki’s GENNECT Cross app for Android and Apple iOS. The software provides a range of functionality that helps manage data in the field, including photographing measurement sites, placing measurement results on photographs, and saving hand written memos.
