Compact Electrostatic Field Meter for ESD Testing
The Simco-Ion FMX-004 is a pocket-size electrostatic field meter designed for technicians who need to measure and store field strength and polarity. It suits quality-control checks on production lines and field audits where a handheld, non-contact instrument is required. The conductive plastic housing with a side earth connection supports accurate readings.
Dual-Range Measurement with Distance Indicator
The meter covers a low range of 0 to ±1.49 kV and a high range of ±1.0 kV to ±30.00 kV, with range hysteresis between ±1.0 kV and ±1.5 kV. A low-balance range of 0 to ±300 V is also provided. Two integrated LEDs indicate the correct measuring distance, which is essential because readings lose validity if the sensor is too close or too far from the charged surface.
Simple Setup with Automatic Power Management
The unit powers on with a single control and shows both a digital value and a bar-graph display for quick interpretation. Automatic power-off activates after five minutes to preserve the battery, though this can be disabled for continuous monitoring. The main installation step is attaching the earth lead to a known ground; skipping this connection is the most common cause of erroneous results.

Questions about this item
Should I use the low range up to 1.49 kV or the high range starting at 1.0 kV for my measurements?
Choose the low range for readings up to ±1.49 kV; switch to the high range when the field exceeds ±1.0 kV and reaches up to ±30.00 kV. The meter automatically handles the ±1.0 kV to ±1.5 kV overlap with hysteresis.
What does the ±30.00 kV high-range figure mean when I am measuring a charged surface in the workshop?
It means the meter can detect field strengths up to 30.00 kV from a distance, letting you survey highly charged materials without contact. The dual LED indicators confirm the correct measuring distance for repeatable results.
How does the conductive housing and earth connection affect the readings I get from the FMX-004?
The conductive plastic housing with a side earth connection provides a stable reference ground, ensuring the electrostatic field measurements are accurate and repeatable across both the low and high ranges.
