TPI Digital Automotive Multimeter (TP-193A)
The 193A is a hand-held True RMS autoranging automotive DMM. The 193A measures ACV, DCV, ACA, DCA, Resistance, Frequency, Capacitance, Duty Cycle, Diodes, Continuity, Temperature, RPM, Dwell, and milli-second pulse width. It also has optically isolated RS232 output for connecting to a PC.
LCD Display 4000 count with 42 segment bar graph. REC (Record Mode) Store minimum and maximum readings over a measurement period. RANGE Manually select the appropriate range AC/DC Manually select AC or DC measurement function. FUNCTION Toggle between functions on Ohm, TEMP, and IG modes Hz (Frequency) Measure the frequency of sensors and signals. Ω (Ohms, Resistance) Measure the resistance of spark plug wires, coils, sensors, and continuity of wiring. ACmV and DCmV Ranges Additional 40 millivolt DC range with 0.01mV resolution for improved accuracy when performing low voltage measurements. DCV, ACV (DC Volts, AC Volts) Measure the voltage of circuits and sensors. Measure the voltage of ABS wheel sensors. REL (Relative Mode) Factor out lead resistance for improved low ohm measurements or compare readings to a known standard. Can also be used for differential measurements. CYL (Cylinder) Selects the number of cylinders in IG mode. HOLD Lock the reading on the display for hard to read locations or future reference. PEAK-H (Peak Hold) Capture signals spikes as fast as 1mS to diagnose intermittent events. TEMP (Temperature) Measure temperature with included temperature probe. AC/DC Current Functions Measure the parasitic draw from the battery Capacitance Measure the capacitance of condensors or capacitors found in today's hybrid automobiles. IP, IG (Automotive Functions) Measure RPM, Duty, Dwell, mS pulse width, Frequency. Built in Tilt Stand The tilt stand in built into the instrument housing adding strength and integrity to the design. Quickly Test Condition of Internal Fuses You can determine the status of the internal fuses before you open the battery/fuse compartment. Simply set the instrument to the diode test function, plug the black test lead into the "VΩ" input jack and touch the prod end of the black lead to the metal inside the "A" or "UAmA" input lack. If the meter reads "OL, the fuse is blown. If there is a reading on the LCD besides "OL", the fuse is good. Separate Fuse/Battery Compartment Easily replace fuses and batteries in this separate compartment. Fuses are clearly labeled with replacement part number.
- RANGE Allows the user to manually range the 193A instead of autoranging.
- REC Records Min/Max readings during specified measurement intervals.
- HOLD Holds the reading on the display for easy viewing.
- REL Displays the value as a difference to a reference value.
- AUTO OFF Preserves battery life.
- PEAK-H 1 millisecond peak hold to capture spikes in signals.
- LPF Low Pass Filter for filtering noise and harmonics.
- LEVEL Adjustable trigger level for automotive functions.
- NR Noise reduction for automotive functions.
