This member of the 260 family has a better than 30% improvement in voltage and resistance accuracy compared to the standard 260-8 Series, perfect for more critical measurements. DC voltage accuracy is ±1.25% full scale; AC voltage accuracy ±2% full scale; and Resistance accuracy ±1.5 º of arc. 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.

• Higher accuracy specifications for more precise measurements
• Self-shielding taut-band meter movement provides added shock resistance
• Rugged phenolic case with reinforced walls for maximum durability
• Reverse recessed safety jacks prevent operator and tool contact with electrical connections
• Large, tri-colored dial with mirrored scale to prevent parallax error

NOTES:
The 270 Series is not available with the P option like the 260-8P. Also, the current clamp accessory #00545 is not available for use with the 270 series as it leads to measurement errors. if you already own a 270 series and need to use the current clamp, contact Simpson Technical Support.
