163 TPI Autoranging DMM W/Bar Graph, Boot, Test Leads and Manual

TPI 163 Autoranging DMM W/Bar Graph, Boot, Test Leads and Manual - Full size DMM with analog bar graph; 1,000 DC volts and 750 AC volts; 0.5% DCV basic accuracy. The 163 is a hand-held autoranging DMM. The 163 measures ACV, DCV, ACA, DCA, Resistance, Diodes and Continuity.

Safety: Meets CE and IEC 1010 requirements. UL Listed to U.S. and Canadian Safety Standards.
Data Hold: Holds the reading on the display.
Range: Allows you to either manual range or use auto range to select the appropriate range.
Auto Off: Preserves battery life. LCD shows oFF when in this mode.
Large LCD: Easy to read at all angles and the majority of lighting levels.
Rubber Boot: Added protection when the instrument is dropped.
