Overview
The Simpson MR36W500DCMAR 25R is a rugged analog panel meter designed for direct measurement of DC current in the 0–500 milliamperes range. As part of Simpson Electric’s Model 25R series, this instrument combines decades of metering expertise with straightforward mechanical design. The Simpson MR36W500DCMAR is ideal for monitoring DC current flow in industrial control circuits, battery systems, power supplies, and test benches where reliable, unpowered measurement is essential.
