1.11 Accessory AC High Voltage Probe
The 10,000 V AC high voltage probe extends the 260-8 AC voltage range. The
probe can be used with the Simpson 260-8 10-volt AC range.
NOTE: Instructions are furnished with each high voltage probe.
1.12 Amp-clamp Model 150-2
The Simpson Amp-Clamp Model 150-2 allows AC current measurements with-
out breaking the circuit under test. The Amp-Clamp works as a transformer con-
taining a split core for accommodating the conductor which carries the current
being measured. The current-carrying conductor becomes the transformer pri-
mary and a coil in the Amp-Clamp serves as the secondary winding. The Amp-
Clamp output voltage is proportional to the current measured and can be applied
to the 260-8 as an AC voltage.
The Amp-Clamp has a range selector with 6 positions. Any of the following
current ranges can be used with the 260-8: 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 or 250 amperes.
NOTE: Instructions are furnished with each Amp-Clamp.

This section contains information and instructions for the installation and ship-
ping of the Simpson 260-8. Included are unpacking and inspection procedures,
warranty, shipping, power source requirements and operating position.
2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Examine the shipping carton for signs of damage. If damaged, notify the carrier
and supplier and do not attempt to use the Instrument. If Instrument appears to be
in good condition, read Operator’s Manual in its entirety. Become familiar with the
Instrument as instructed in the manual, then check the electrical performance as
soon as possible. Also, check that all items listed in Table 1-2 are included with
the Instrument.
After unpacking the Instrument, a 1.5V battery and a 9V battery may be found in
separate envelopes in the box with the Instrument and the test leads. Two alliga-
tor clips for the test leads are in a polyethylene bag. (See Section 5 for instruc-
tions on how to install the batteries.)
2.2 Warranty
The Simpson Electric Company warranty policy is printed on the inside front
cover of this manual. Read it carefully before requesting any warranty repairs. For
all assistance, including help with the Instrument under warranty, contact the
nearest Authorized Service Center. If necessary, contact the factory directly, give
full details of any installation difficulty and include the Instrument model number,
series number, and date of purchase. Service data or shipping instructions will be
mailed promptly. If an estimate of charges for non-warranty or other service work
is required, a maximum charge estimate will be quoted. This charge will not be
exceeded without prior approval.
Pack the Instrument carefully and ship it prepaid and insured.
