270-5 Multimeter


Simpson - 270-5
Max Current (A): 0 (AC), 0.00001 (DC)
Max Voltage (V): 1000 (AC), 0.001 (DC)
Max Resistance (Ω): 20 (AC)
Capacitance Measurement: NONE
Temperature Measurement: NONE
Frequency Measurement: NONE
Transistor Test: NONE
Continuity: YES

The 270-5 comes with batteries, manual and test leads with alligator clips; the 270-5RT also includes a built-in rolltop carrying case. Higher accuracy specifications for those more critical measurements are found in the Model 270-5. It has a better than 30% improvement in voltage and resistance accuracy as a full-function/range member of the Simpson 260 type VOM group.
