FMX-004 Hand-Held Fieldmeter with Balance Plate
$981.00
Simco-Ion’s Model FMX-004 is a compact, handheld electrostatic fieldmeter used for locating and measuring static charges. Its pocket size and four-button operation make it practical for day-to-day troubleshooting, static assessments, and process checks on products, equipment, and packaging.
The FMX-004 measures static voltages within ±30 kV (30,000 V) at a distance of 1 inch, displaying results both numerically and in a bar graph format. Push-button controls include POWER on/off, ZERO adjustments, MODE, and HOLD. The HOLD function retains the reading, which is useful when the display is difficult to see during measurement.
- Measures static voltage within ±30 kV at 1 inch distance
- Simultaneous numeric and bar graph display
- Push-button operation: POWER, ZERO, MODE, HOLD
- HOLD function retains the measurement for easier viewing
- LED guide lights help position the fieldmeter at the correct distance
- Conductive case and ground snap support grounding for accurate measurement
- Designed to make measurements in areas using air ionization
- Optional cable and bracket kit: mount for continuous reading; analog output can feed PLCs, data acquisition, data loggers, chart recorders, or other devices
