The 160 combines the performance and reliability of the famous Simpson 260 in a
convenient hand-held package. The self-shielding taut-band movement features
outstanding repeatability and resistance to stray magnetic fields. Internal circuits
protect the meter from accidental overload.
Smallest and Handiest of Simpson's
Shock Resistant Analog VOMs
• Ideal for Nulling, Peaking and Trend Information
• Quick, Positive "Yes/No" Checks for Voltage, Current and Continuity
• Does Not Generate RF Radiation Which can cause Interference or Trigger
• High Immunity to Voltage Transients and RF Interference—No Expensive Chips
• Includes 22.5V and 1.5V Batteries and Test Leads With Probe Tip

Quality Assurance defines Simpson Electric
products in today’s market. The word “quality”
became Simpson’s byword in the instrument
industry when, in 1927, Simpson’s founder, Ray
Simpson, built the mechanism for the earth
inductor compass; the same compass used by
Charles Lindbergh when he flew the "Spirit of St.
Louis" on the first non-stop solo flight across the
Atlantic Ocean. For thirty-three hours,
Lindbergh's life and his success depended
largely on Ray Simpson’s navigational
instrument.
