Simco FMX-004 Handheld Electrostatic Fieldmeter

Simco's Model FMX-004 is a pocket size compact handheld electrostatic fieldmeter used for locating and measuring static charges. Its small size makes it simple to use and four-button operation makes it easy to operate.

This fieldmeter measures static voltages within ±30 kV (30,000V) at a distance of 1 inch. Both a numerical and bar graph format are used to present the results. POWER on/off, ZERO adjustment, MODE and HOLD are all push-button operation. The HOLD button allows the display to retain the static charge reading. This is especially beneficial when the display is difficult to see during measuring.

Features two LED guide lights to help position the fieldmeter at the right distance from a charged test object. The conductive case and ground snap facilitate grounding for measuring accurately.

The circuitry of the FMX-004 has been designed to make measurements in areas using air ionization.

Features

• Digital display with color-coded bar graphs
• Lightweight, compact design
• Distance ranging lights
• Audible alarm feature
• Battery-powered with an auto shut-off feature
  
• Analog Output

Benefits 

• Extends battery life; energy efficient
• Easy to read especially in low light environments
• Convenient to use in hard to reach areas
• Ensures accurate distancing and measurements
• User convenience feature to insure proper operation
• Signals to a chart recorder or other device for hard copy documentation of static charge levels

Maintenance

As with most measuring devices, calibration is necessary for optimal performance. We recommend recalibrating the FMX-004 once a year.

Analog Output

The FMX-004 also offers an optional cable and bracket kit for Analog output. This feature allows you to extract and monitor your data. The Analog output bracket enables the fieldmeter to be mounted in order to collect continuous reading. The Analog signal can be used with a PLC, data acquisition card, data logger, chart reader, etc.
