Simpson Electric 12389 Analog Multimeter 1000V 20 Megohm

Product Description

The SIMPSON ELECTRIC 12389 is an analog manual ranging multimeter designed for field measurement of voltage, current, and resistance in electrical and low-voltage systems. It handles up to 1000 volts AC and 1000 volts DC, up to 10 amps DC, and up to 20 megohms of resistance. The analog movement gives technicians a real-time needle sweep that is useful for trending and fluctuating signals where a digital display can be harder to read. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary installers and users of this instrument.

The 12389 is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work where manual ranging and an analog readout are preferred or required. It is appropriate for checking line voltage, testing continuity, measuring resistance across components, and verifying current draw. The included AC amp-clamp adapter extends its usefulness to current measurement without breaking the circuit. The kit includes batteries, screw-on alligator clips, and test leads with threaded probe tips for secure, hands-free connections during diagnostic work.

Installation Notes

This instrument is intended for use by qualified electrical technicians and should be operated in accordance with NEC safety guidelines for live-circuit test equipment. Always de-energize and lock out circuits where permitted before connecting test leads, and verify the meter range setting before probing live conductors. Inspect test leads for damaged insulation before each use. Do not exceed the rated input limits for voltage, current, or resistance as stated on the instrument.
