Simpson 260 - Page 8

The Model 270, in the same convenient
physical form and offering the same comprehensive
series of ranges, provides enhanced accuracy,
achieved by the use of 0.5% resistors, combined
with a premium meter movement in which special
precautions have been taken to minimize errors.
To allow the operator to utilize this super-
ior accuracy, the meter scale is provided with
an anti-parallax mirror. The highly legible mark-
ings and buff-tinted background are designed for
easy, accurate reading and reduced fatigue.
To preserve this high degree of accuracy in
everyday use, spring-backed jewels and fuse are
supplemented by a protective diode, which limits
the otherwise damaging acceleration to which move-
ment and pointer might be subjected in the case
of accidental overload. Temperature compensation
assures that rated accuracy will be maintained on
all A.C. and D.C. ranges over the span of temper-
atures normally encountered in workshops and
laboratories.
Spring-backed jewels, fuse, protective diode,
and intrinsic ruggedness provide a great measure
of protection against the effects of the frequent
handling and occasional accidental misuse to which
such а versatile instrument is inevitably subjected.
There is no substitute, however, for care and pro-
per operation of your multimeter. Given these,
your Model 260 or Model 27C will provide you with
many years of accurate, dependable service.
