Suitable for basic electrical measurements, this digital multimeter also has 0-24mA output for process controls.
Featuring a triple display, the TPI 196 can show more than one reading simultaneously, saving time and effort when measuring. The meter is autoranging, and will automatically choose the right range when testing.
This multimeter can test DC and AC voltage to 1000V, DC/AC current to 1A, resistance to 50MΩ, frequency to 500KHz and can also perform continuity/diode testing.
