Section 1 . GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SIMCO Model FMX-003 Electrostatic Fieldmeter is a compact instrument used for
measuring electrostatic potentials. It is small (pocket size), portable, handy and easy to
use.
It has a micro-computer inside. The fieldmeter can be turned on/off by a push button
POWER switch (red). A grey push button switch marked ZERO is used for zero
adjustment.AgreenpushbuttonswitchmarkedHOLDholdsthedisplayandis
especially useful where the display is difficult to see during a measurement.
SIMCO Model FMX-003 can correctly measure static voltages within 20 kV (20,000±
V) range at a distance of 25 . Two LED guide ring lights are provided on the sensor㎜
side of the unit to help position the instrument at the right distance from a charged
object. The conductive case and ground lead facilitate grounding for proper
measurement.
Model FMX-003 can be used for static voltage as well as Ion Balance voltage
measurements. Ion balance voltage measurement to 200 V is possible by attaching a±
Ion Balance Plate and using a light blue push button switch marked IB. The plate can
be kept attached to either end of FMX-003 when not in use.
Compact design of this unit makes measurements easy and usable in relatively
inaccessible work areas. It can be used in various applications such as in deciding the
location of static eliminators, in investigating static charge levels, in deciding the need
for charge neutralization, as a support for the maintenance of static eliminators etc.
