INTRODUCTION

1.1

General

The Simpson 14510-2 Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter (hereinafter referred to as the
14510-2 or the Instrument) is a portable instrument, suitable for the telephone
industries. This instrument is designed for the service person who values true
portability, reliability, simplicity and ruggedness. The Instrument can be ap-
plied in both permanent and mobile installations.

The 14510-2  features reverse safety-style jacks, an easy-to-read dial, a large
range switch knob and an attractive color clutter-free panel.

1.2

Description

The case is made of  high-impact (ABS) plastic and is contemporarily styled.
The Instrument is battery operated for the resistance ranges, and fuse and
diode overload protected, with a self-shielded taut-band movement. The taut-
band suspension provides a high degree of repeatability and is highly resis-
tant to shock and vibrations helping to ensure the accuracy and life of the
Instrument. A handle, attached to the sides of the case, allows the Instrument
to be used in either a vertical or horizontal position. The horizontal position is
preferred for greater accuracy since the Instrument is calibrated in that posi-
tion.
