The FMX-004 fieldmeter is a compact electrostatic fieldmeter used for locating and measuring static charges. Its pocket size and three-button operation makes it convenient and easy to use.
Features and Benefits
- Lightweight, compact design
- Range light assures accurate and repeatable measurements
- Automatic range switching up to ±30 kV (30,000V)
- Digital and bar graph display with +/- indicators
- Automatic power off with inactivity
The FMX-004 also offers an optional cable and bracket kit for Analog output. This feature allows you to extract and monitor your data. The Analog output bracket enables the fieldmeter to be mounted in order to collect continuous reading. The Analog signal can be used with a PLC, data acquisition card, data logger, chart reader, etc.

Special Features
The FMX-004 measures both positive and negative polarity charges up to ±30 kV (30,000V) at a distance of 1”. Results are simultaneously shown numerically and in bar graph format on the unique multi-colored display that also displays battery charge status. Power on/off, zero adjustment, Ion Balance (MODE) and hold are all push button operation. The hold button allows the display to retain the static charge reading. This is especially useful where display is difficult to see during measurement. Two LED guide lights help position the fieldmeter at the right distance from a charged test object. The conductive case and ground snap facilitate grounding for accurate measurement. The circuitry of the FMX-004 has been designed to make measurements in areas using air ionization.

The FMX-004 has Analog output available. There is also an optional cable and bracket kit offered. The bracket enables the fieldmeter to be mounted in order to collect continuous reading. The Analog feature allows you to extract and monitor the data you are reading from the FMX-004. The Analog signal can be used with a PLC, data acquisition card, data logger, chart reader, etc.
As with most measuring devices, calibration is necessary for optimal performance. We recommend recalibrating the FMX-004 once a year. Simco-Ion offers recalibration services that includes a certificate with or without data.
