1. How does the non-contact
voltage feature of the TPI 270
and 275 benefit me?
The non-contact feature of the TPI
270 and 275 allows you to detect
live circuits without using the test
leads, which enables faster checks
for the presence of voltage.
2. Which of the TPI clamp-on
meters will measure
temperature?
The 270 and 275 have this feature
built in and the 255, 265, and 291
can measure temperature by using
the optional A301 or a A312 K-type
thermocouple adapters.
3. Which TPI clamp-ons can
measure DC microamps?
The TPI 270 and 275 has the capa-
bility to measure DC microamps by
using the test leads. This is very
useful for making flame safety
control current measurements. The
265 can measure DC microamps
with the optional A213 adapter.
4. Does a clamp-on meter
measure anything besides amps?
All TPI clamp-on meters measure
AC/DC volts and resistance. Models
are available with temperature,
frequency, capacitance, and
non-contact voltage detection
capability as well as many other
features. Various adapters including
temperature (A301 or A312), carbon
monoxide (A771), and pressure
(A620/630) are available.
Contact TPI for additional
information.
5. Is it possible to measure AC
amps on a device that uses a
power cord?
Yes, to accomplish this you can use
the TPI line splitter (A202). AC amps
must be measured by isolating a
single wire and the A202 line
splitter does this without damaging
the power cord.
