Simpson 260 Series - Adjust-A-Vue Handle Functionality; Instrument Test Leads and Accessories

Introduction
e The case has an externally accessible battery and fuse compart-
ment. Access to the batteries and fuses is obtained by unscrew-
ing a single captivated screw at the bottom of the case and
sliding out the compartment cover.
e Rubber plug bumpers on the bottom of the case reduce sliding
should the 260 be accidentally pulled by the test leads when
the instrument is on a workbench.
1.7 ALJUST-A-VUE HANDLE
1.7.1 A carrying handle is attached to the Instrument case. The
handle may be used to support the Instrument in a convenient
sloping position for easy viewing. The case can also be placed in
either a vertical or horizontal position. The horizontal position is
preferable for greater accuracy since the Instrument is calibrated
in this position.
1.8 TEST LEADS
1.8.4 Each Instrument is furnished with one pair (Catalog Num-
ber 00043) of probe type test leads (one red and one black, each
48 inches long) for all applications of the Instrument. These test
leads have elbow prods on one end, to connect the leads to the
recessed jacks on the Instrument front panel. The probe tips at
the opposite end have threaded shoulders to accept the screw-on
insulated alligator clips (furnished with the test leads) or the
5000 volt test probe(s) to extend the Instrument AC or DC volt-
age range. The test leads and the insulated alligator clips are
rated?’ for the voltage and current ranges available on the 260.
Maximum ratings are 1000V AC or DC or 10 DC amperes.
These ratings for the test leads must not be exceeded in any
application.
