Static field meter

16 July 2014 Test & Measurement

The FMX-003 is a an electrostatic field meter used for locating, measuring and storing field strength and polarity information.

It is pocket sized and enables the user to carry out measurements in awkward places.

The correct measuring distance is displayed by two integrated LEDs and field polarity and intensity can be displayed numerically and on a bar graph. The auto-ranging digital display also reflects the internal battery’s condition and automatically switches off after five minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.

An electrically conductive plastic housing with an earth connection fitted at the side ensures accurate measurements, while an easy plate attachment is provided for ion balance measurement.
