Conductive resin with a stainless steel grounding snap for safety Safety & Maintenance Grounding: simco fmx002 manual full
The device is not a voltmeter; it measures the electrostatic field potential at a fixed distance. To use it correctly, the distance must be precisely 1 inch—this is where reading the becomes essential, as it contains diagrams showing the correct orientation of the sensor head.
: For accurate measurements, ensure the conductive case is grounded using the provided grounding lead.
Simco FMX-002 is a compact, portable electrostatic fieldmeter designed for the high-precision measurement of static charges and ion balance Many technicians attempt to use the FMX-002 by memory
If you work in electronics manufacturing, printing, or plastics, you know the Simco FMX-002 is the industry workhorse for measuring electrostatic fields. It is reliable, portable, and accurate.
If your unit has an Ion Balance plate (a small metal plate often stored on the back), attach it to the sensor end and press the IB button to measure the balance of your ionizers. Maintenance & Safety
