Simco FMX-002 Electrostatic Fieldmeter: The Essential Guide The Simco FMX-002 is a legacy powerhouse in the world of static control. While newer models like the FMX-004 have entered the market, the FMX-002 remains a staple in electronics manufacturing, cleanrooms, and industrial settings due to its rugged reliability. Allows for data logging or connection to an oscilloscope
Clip the other end to a verified earth ground (like a grounded equipment frame or workbench).
Freezes the display for easy reading in tight spaces. 2. Proper Setup and Calibration
The FMX-002 features two red focusing lights. Move the meter closer or further until the two red spots merge into a single point on the surface. This ensures you are at the calibrated distance of 1 inch (25mm) . Read the Display: Blue Bar: Indicates negative polarity. Red Bar: Indicates positive polarity. Digital Readout: Shows the kilovolts (kV) present.
