The TPI 153 is a full-size, handheld autoranging digital multimeter.
It can test AC voltage, DC voltage, AC/DC currenet, resistance, diode and continuity with test selection via an easy-to-use rotary dial on the front. All measurement results are shown on the tester's large-size 4000 count display.
This digital multimeter also includes the ability to select a measurement range yourself, a data hold function which temporarily stores values on the screen and MIN/MAX measurements taken can be taken over a time period.
