Professionals have long recognized that a Simpson 260 analog meter is superior to the best DMM when monitoring fluctuating 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....

• Overload Protection- Diode network protects instrument from overload damage during use

• Analog Multimeter, Max. AC Volts 1000, Max. DC Volts 1000, Max. DC Amps 10A, Max. Ohms 20 megohm, Decibels -20 to +50 dB, Audible Continuity No, Mirrored Scale Yes, Accuracy VDC +/-2 Percent Full Scale, VAC +/-3 Percent Full Scale, AC Frequency Response 100 KHz, Sensitivity 5K Ohms/VAC, 20K Ohms/VDC, Battery Type 9 V and D, Includes Test Leads, Batteries and Instructions
• 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
• 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
• What's in the box: meter, test leads, batteries, instructions
• Extra test leads are available Part# 00043 pictured above
• Optional padded case available # 00832 (Yellow) pictured above or #00834 (black)
