The Simpson Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter 260 Series 8XPI, (hereafter referred to as the 260 or the Instrument) is a rugged, accurate, compact, easy-to-use instrument equipped with mirrored dial to eliminate parallax. The Instrument can be used to make accurate measurements of AC and DC voltage, direct current, resistance, decibels, and Output Voltage. The Output Voltage function is used for measuring the AC component of a mixture of AC and DC voltage. This occurs primarily in amplifier circuits. New Features in the 260-8 are: 0-25V AC/DC Range Continuity Test Alarm Individual Dual Jacks for the 500 V AC/DC and 1000 V AC/DC Ranges High Impact Case (Yellow)
