Pocket Multimeter
DESCRIPTION
The PM100 Pocket Multimeter from Tempo Communications is an accurate, automatic, pocket-sized “6000 count” meter that deserves to live in every technician’s (or homeowners') tool bag, if not pocket. It has a default power on “Auto” mode that magically checks for voltage and displays that if present, if not then it will attempt to measure resistance. The PM-100 is a go-to-tool for quickly checking electrical supplies and basic continuity.
- Volts, ohms, continuity, electric field, frequency, capacitance
- CAT-III 300V
- Supplied with integrated test leads with arc-flash guards
- Includes a custom fabric carry case
OVERVIEW
The PM100 is supplied in a convenient zipper case and includes a 6000 count large digit LCD. The only control on this Pocket Multimeter is a single push button that switches the unit on and off, and cycles through the various tests. The PM100 powers up in Auto mode and checks for voltage and displays if present, if not, it will attempt to measure resistance. Manual modes are:
- Continuity (with visible and audible indication)
- Electric Field (EF) for non-contact or contact checking for presence of ac voltage
- AC voltage (low impedance to prevent ghost readings) to 450 V
- DC voltage to 450 V
- Resistance to 6 milliohms
- Frequency to 30 kHz
- Capacitance to 100 uF

Common Questions About the Tempo PM100 Pocket Multimeter
What can the Tempo PM100 Pocket Multimeter measure?
The Tempo PM100 measures AC and DC voltage, resistance, continuity, frequency, capacitance, and electric fields for a variety of electrical testing and troubleshooting applications.
How does the Auto mode work on the Tempo PM100?
When powered on, the PM100 automatically checks for voltage first. If voltage is not detected, it attempts to measure resistance, making common electrical checks quick and simple.
Can the Tempo PM100 detect AC voltage without direct contact?
Yes. The PM100 features an Electric Field mode that can check for the presence of AC voltage using non contact or contact detection.
