Simpson 260 Series 8 Analog Multimeter with Calibration
SIMPSON
Product Description
The 260-8 Analog VOM offers more features than its predecessors, combining quality and affordability with standard and high-energy fusing and a diode network for meter movement protection. It supports AC and DC voltage and current measurements, as well as resistance testing. Standard-size reverse/recessed safety jacks prevent operator or tool contact with the instrument’s electrical connections. The phenolic case features heavy reinforced walls for maximum durability, while the self-shielding taut band adds shock resistance to the meter movement. Portable enough to carry yet maintaining benchtop-level accuracy, it uses two knobs to control range and function selection. Full-size test leads with threaded probe tips allow screw-on alligator clips, eliminating the need to change leads while working.
This 260-8 Analog VOM (EDMO 260-8 CAL) includes calibration.
