Product Description
Most home and small-business CCTV faults come down to power or cabling, and a multimeter is how you find out which. The TIS 201 Pocket Auto Ranging Digital Multimeter AC/DC Temp Capacitance Tested VGC is a pre-owned, pocket-sized meter that has been fully tested and is in working order.
Where a meter helps on a CCTV job
- Reading DC voltage at a camera's power connection, to see whether a long cable run is letting the supply sag.
- Using the continuity buzzer to confirm a cable is unbroken from one end to the other.
- Checking resistance, or using the diode test, when you are tracing a suspect connection.
What the TIS 201 measures
- AC/DC voltage and AC/DC current
- Resistance and capacitance
- Frequency and duty cycle (the share of each cycle a signal is switched on)
- Temperature
- Continuity with buzzer, plus diode test
It is auto-ranging, so it picks the measurement range itself rather than you turning a dial to guess one. Data hold freezes a reading on the display, the backlit display helps in dark loft spaces and cupboards, and auto power-off saves the battery. The rugged protective casing is built for a tool bag or pocket.
The meter carries a CAT III 600V rating. CAT is the measurement category, a safety rating for the type of circuit a meter is designed to be used on.
Condition
Good overall condition with some cosmetic wear from normal use, which does not affect performance. The photos form part of the description, and any accessories included are exactly as shown in them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TIS 201 multimeter new?
No, it is pre-owned. Testing has been completed and it works properly, though the casing shows some cosmetic marks from everyday use.
Do I have to set the range by hand?
No. Being auto-ranging, the meter chooses the right range for each reading on its own.
Can it measure capacitance and temperature?
Yes. Alongside voltage, current and resistance, it measures capacitance, temperature, frequency and duty cycle.
What does CAT III 600V mean?
CAT is the measurement category, a safety rating for the circuits a meter is built to be used on. This meter is rated CAT III 600V.
