Product Description
The Simpson 260 Series 7 is a rugged, accurate, portable Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter (VOM) designed for professional electrical measurement. It measures AC and DC voltage, DC current, resistance, decibels, and output (AC component) voltage across a wide range of ranges and functions. Introduced as a successor to the Series 6, the 260-7 features safety-enhanced reverse-banana recessed probe jacks, a 12-position function/range selector switch, and the Amp-Clamp scales, making it a versatile analog instrument for field, lab, and workshop use.
