TPI 196 Process Control Digital Multimeter

The TPI 196 Process Control Digital Multimeter is a versatile instrument designed for process technicians, electricians, and engineers. Built for precision and clarity, this hand-held multimeter features a large, triple backlit LCD capable of displaying up to three readings simultaneously. Whether you’re working on live circuits or bench testing components, the TPI 196 ensures reliable measurements and user-friendly operation.

With a built-in 0–24mA loop output, the TPI 196 Process Control Digital Multimeter allows for fast, on-site process calibration without the need for additional tools. It supports full autoranging and offers high accuracy with 50,000 counts of resolution. You can monitor voltage, current, resistance, and more without toggling between functions—perfect for reducing testing time and increasing productivity.

Built for Versatility

The TPI 196 Process Control Digital Multimeter includes logic testing, frequency counter functions, and PC connection via an safely separated RS-232 interface. This makes it good for industrial monitoring, checks, and record-keeping. Its analogue bar graph helps detect fast signal changes, while features like MIN/MAX record, COMP mode, and data hold make measurement tracking easier.

Durable and Reliable

Made for on-site use, the TPI 196 Process Control Digital Multimeter includes a rugged boot for added protection. It works reliably from 0°C to 40°C with 50 hours of battery life using a standard 9V cell. The separate battery and fuse compartment makes repairs easier, and the unit meets CAT III 600V safety standards. Every feature is carefully designed to support long-term use in tough environments.

Key Features
  • Triple display shows multiple readings at once
  • 0–24mA loop output simplifies process calibration
  • 50,000 count resolution for high-accuracy work
  • RS-232C PC connectivity with optional accessories
  • Frequency measurement from 1Hz to 2MHz
  • Logic test function supports signals up to 2MHz
  • MIN/MAX recording with stable interval capture
  • COMP mode for pass/fail component testing
  • Sleep mode extends battery life
  • Protective rubber boot included for field durability
