TPI 173A Digital Multimeter, Full Size Auto Ranging c/w 4,000 count & Segment Bar Graph Backlight Display

The TPI 173a is an auto-ranging digital multimeter (DMM) that can measure voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, frequency, continuity, and diode tests. It has a 4.0-digit LCD with a 42-segment bar graph and features such as hold, relative, and record mode.

Key Features

• LCD: 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
• Continuity Buzzer and Diode Test: Toggle between continuity buzzer or diode test on Ohm function
• High-Resolution DCmV Range: Additional 40 millivolt range with 001mV resolution for improved accuracy when performing low voltage measurements
• ACV (AC Volts): Measure the voltage of ABS wheel sensors
• DCV (DC Volts): Measure the voltage of circuits and sensors
• Hz/Duty (Duty Cycle): Measure in percent the “ON” time of sensors or other devices
• 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
• HOLD: Lock the reading on the display for hard-to-read locations for future reference
• Ω (Ohms, Resistance): Measure the resistance of spark plug wires, coils, sensors, and continuity of wiring
• AC/DC Current Functions (Amps): Measure the parasitic draw from the battery with ignition off
• Hz (Frequency): Measure the frequency of sensors and signals
• CAP (Capacitance): Measure the capacitance of condensers or capacitors found in today's hybrid automobiles
• Built-in Tilt Stand: The tilt stand is built into the instrument housing
• Separate Fuse/Battery Compartment: Easily replace fuses and batteries in this separate compartment
