About Simpson Electric

The extensive Simpson Electric product line includes digital panel meters, analog multimeters, current transducers, sound level meters and megohmmeters. Simpson Electric analog multimeters are used for AC / DC voltage and current measurements, as well as for resistance testing. The company also offers digital panel meters that are used to display a wide range of electrical variables, such as current, flow, speed and voltage. They feature a 4 digit LED screen for high visibility and can be adjusted at 6 levels of brightness. The four input types and choice of degrees C or degrees F display of these panel meters are jumper-selectable. With a maximum accuracy of +/-0.2% of reading + 2.7 degrees F, these digital panel meters provide temperature displays ranging between -328 and 2498 degrees F. These meters are available in Mini-Max and falcon styles.

Things to Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

Some Simpson Electric panel meters cross individual references to the equivalent Extech or Dwyer Instruments model numbers. So, if you're looking for a competitor item that is either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the equivalent Simpson Electric panel meters available.

Shipping

These Simpson Electric meters range from small to large sizes. They may require careful packaging as some items might get damaged while shipping. Hence, these Simpson Electric meters are delivered by courier shipment and air freight for minimum downtime.

Simpson Electric Competitive Advantages

Analog VOMs

These Simpson VOMs (260-8 & 260-8P) are ideal for monitoring fluctuating rates and trends. They are precise, compact & easy to use instruments, equipped with mirrored dials for eliminating parallax. These instruments can be used for making accurate measurements of direct current, DC & AC voltage, decibels, resistance and output voltage. They feature a robust phenolic case having reinforced walls for optimal durability and reverse recessed safety jacks to prevent contact of tool & operator with electrical connections. The 260-8P unit comes with an additional audible continuity checking circuit and a resettable overload protection circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I wire up an analogue panel meter?

For current monitoring, wire the meters in series. For monitoring voltage, make a parallel wire connection.

On digital panel meters, what do 3.5 & 4.5 digits mean?

Digits are a measure of the display span of a digital panel meter. For example, 3.5 digit is 199.9 anda 4.5 digit is 1999.9.

What is a current transformer?

A current transformer is an electrical device used when AC levels to be monitored go beyond 75 amperes. It generates a 5 amp output for each primary range. The transformer offers additional isolation from the conductor.
