FAQ

1. Is there a way to measure

higher current with a TPI

DMM?

TPI DMMs (except the 120 and 126)

have the capacity to read up to 10A

AC/DC. Optional adapters are

available for all models to increase

the current range. Our shunt

adapters are available to increase

the range up to 1,000A AC/DC.

2. What other adapters are

available for TPI DMMs?

Various adapters including carbon

monoxide (A771), pressure

(A620/630), and clamp-on low

current (A254) are available. Contact

TPI for additional information.

3. Which of the TPI DMMs

will measure temperature?

All TPI DMMs can measure

temperature by using the

optional A301 K-Type

thermocouple temperature adapter.

4. Which TPI DMMs can

measure DC millivolts?

All TPI DMMs measure millivolts.

Models are available with 1 or 0.1

millivolt resolution.

5. Which TPI DMMs can

measure DC microamps?

The TPI 126, 133, 135, 153, 163, 183,

190, 194, 196, and 440 all have this

capability.

6. Which TPI DMMs will

measure capacitance?

The TPI 135, 183, 190, 192, 194, and

440 all have this capability.

7. What is continuity?

Continuity refers to a test performed

on wires and circuits to see if a

break(open) exhists. If the wire or

circuit is continuous, the resistance

reading will be at or near zero.

The continuity range on a meter

provides audible indication of a

continuous circuit, allowing quicker

tests without having to take your

eyes off the circuit or wire under

test.

DMM

1. Determine the maximum over voltage installation category (CAT I ~ CAT IV) the multimeter will be used

in and narrow your choice to those meters meeting the requirement. The Category rating for each meter

is listed on page 2 in the specifications table.

2. Narrow your choice by selecting meters with the features required for your intended applications. For

example, if your applications require a CAT III meter with true RMS, frequency, and RS232 output

capabilities, the TPI 183 or TPI190 would be good choices. See applications listed below.

3. Finally, select a meter with enough range, accuracy, and resolution for the tests you will perform. For

example: the TPI 183 and the TPI 190 meet your application needs, but you require precision

high-resolution measurements. Then the 50,000 count TPI 190 would be the better choice.

TPI DIGITAL MULTIMETER TERMINOLOGY

>> Agency Approval: Test equipment with the CE or UL mark have

passed through tests and are designed with operators safety in mind.

>> Record Mode: Record and display the minimum and maximum

readings measured. This feature is useful when looking for trends over

a long period of time.

>> Auto Range: Meter automatically selects the appropriate range after

the function has been selected.

>> Backlight: Feature allowing the display to be illuminated for easier

viewing in low light conditions.

>> Basic DC Accuracy: Important specification affecting the overall

accuracy of all functions on a DMM.

>> Resolution: A measurement of how small of a signal a meter can

display. This specification must be taken into account with accuracy to

determine the overall capability of a DMM.

>> True RMS: Allows accurate measurement of non-sinusoidal AC volt-

age and current found in many control and switching power supply

circuits.

>> Analog Bar Graph: Provides the ability to see rapidly changing

signals too fast for the digital display to see.

>> Triple Display Simultaneosly display more than one reading at the

same time. This feature is useful when measuring AC volts beacuse the

frequency can be displayed at the same time without having to switch

ranges

>> Sleep/Auto Off: Automatically powers instrument down after 30

minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life. Meters with sleep mode

will still acquire data during this time

>> Data Hold: Freezes the reading on the display. This feature is useful

when recording readings on paper or when in hard to see locations.

Triple display meters can hold two readings on the display at the same

time.

>> Input Impedance: Total resistance of the meter as measured at the

input terminals. Meters with high impedance, 10MΩ or more, cause

negligible loading of the circuit under test. This is important because

circuit loading can adversely influence the displayed reading and can

cause damage to the circuit under test.

>> Record Mode: Record and display the minimum and maximum

readings measured. This feature is useful when looking for trends over

a long period of time.

>> Relative Mode: Displays measured value as a percentage of the

stored value. This feature is useful for component checking.

>> Compare Mode: Compares measured value with stored value. This

feature is useful when component matching.

>> Audible Continuity: Audible beep indicating a complete circuit

connnection

>> RS-232 Output: Transfer data directly to a PC while performing

tests

>> Process Output: Supply 0 ~ 24mADC for testing current loops and

current loop devices

>> Waveform Display: The ability to see the actual waveform under

test. This feature is useful for determining the quality of the input

signal.

>> Duty Cycle: The total “on” time of the device under test. This

feature is useful in preventing component overheating

>> Pulse Width: Measurement of the duration of a pulse. This feature

is useful when testing pulse width modulation drive motors.

>> Logic Test: Measurement transitions of logic circuits. This feature is

useful when testing CMOS and TTL logic circuits.

>> Two Hold System: Meters with this feature can hold two readings

on the display at the same time

>> Digits: Total number of digits that can be displayed. For example, a

3½ digit meter can display a maximum of 1,999. A 3¾ digit meter can

display a maximum of 3,999. This means the 3¾ digit meter has beter

resolution capability.

>> Counts: Total number of display steps a meter has. This is

determined by adding one to the maximum display value. For example,

a 3½ digit meter can display a maximum of 1,999 and therefore has

2,000 count capability. Both digits and counts must be taken into

account when determining resolution. In general, the more counts a

meter has the higher the resolution will be.
