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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
