1. What is the benefit of a True RMS meter?
A True RMS responding meter, like the 275, allows accurate
measurement of distorted AC voltage and amperage wave-
forms as found in control and switching power supply cir-
cuits.
2. How does the non-contact voltage detection work?
This feature allows you to detect the presence of voltage
without contacting the circuit with the test leads. By press-
ing the NCV button and holding the jaw close to the wire or
circuit, the meter will inform you both audibly and visually
if the circuit is live.
3. What is hi voltage indication?
High voltage indication is an audible and visual safety alert
informing you the test leads are in contact with a voltage
greater than 30V AC or DC.
4. What is relative mode?
Relative mode allows you to perform measurements rela-
tive to a stored value. For example, when performing a low
resistance measurement, first touching the test prods
together and pressing the relative button will subtract the
lead resistance from subsequent measurements.
5. Is it possible to determine the maximum current draw
on a line that has loads that vary?
By activating the min/max mode on the 275 it will record
the minimum and maximum current measured. This is
helpful when trying to see what the maximum load draw is
as devices turn on and off.
6. Can I measure motor start up current with the TPI 275
clamp-on tester?
Yes, the 275 has a peak hold function that allows motor
start up current to be captured.
7. Can I test the run and start capacitors on motors?
The 275 has the ability to measure capacitors up to 40,000
microfarads in size.
8. Do I need an adapter to measure temperature with the
275?
An adapter is not needed to perform temperature tests with
the 275. The 275 accepts K-type thermocouple probes with
a sub-mini connector.
9. Is it possible to measure AC amps on a device that
uses a power cord?
Yes, to accomplish this you can use the TPI line splitter
(A202). AC amps must be measured by isolating a single
wire and the A202 line splitter does this without damaging
the power cord.
