When a Digital Multimeter won’t do the Job
Professionals have long recognized that a Simpson
260 analog meter is superior to the best DMM when
monitoring uctuating trends and rates.
The 260-8 features more attributes than its
predecessors. Standard and high-energy fusing in
conjunction with diode network meter movement
protection makes the 260-8 the best combination of
quality and affordability.
The 260-8P has an additional relay overload protection
circuit that is resettable and also provides audible
continuity checking.
• 36 Measurement Ranges - Covers both AC and DC Voltage and Current
measurements, as well as resistance testing
• Connections Safeguarded - Standard size reverse/recessed safety jacks prevent
operator and/or tool contact with electrical connections of the instrument
• Overload Protection - Diode network protects instrument from overload damage
during use (260-8P and 260-8PRT only)
• Rugged Construction - The Phenolic case is designed with heavy reinforced walls for
maximum durability; self-shielding taut-band provides added shock resistance for the
meter movement
• Portable, for the Workshop, Lab, or in the Field - Portable enough to carry, with
benchtop accuracy
• Versatile - Full-size test leads with threaded probe tips for screw-on alligator clips.
Eliminates the need to change test leads while working
• Simple Operation - Two knobs control the selection of ranges and functions
