Ultra Low Voltage Monitor

Specifications

Description
The Desco EMIT Ultra Low Voltage Monitor provides
continuous ground monitoring of two operators, two
supervisors, two workstations and two tool grounded
stations using patented dual polarity resistive loop
technology. This technology allows the operator to typically
be near zero volts with respect to Earth ground. The Ultra
Low Voltage Monitor is also unaffected by capacitance
variations associated with personnel and environmental
conditions. This monitor also has two charge detection
indicators that monitor voltage on the operators’ circuits.
Continuous Monitors pay for themselves improving quality,
productivity, eliminating wrist strap daily testing and test
result logging. Per ANSI/ESD-S1.1 paragraph 6.1.3
Frequency of Functional Testing "The wrist strap system
should be tested daily to ensure proper electrical value.
Daily testing may be omitted if constant monitoring is used."
Per ESD Handbook ESDTR 20.20 paragraph 5.3.2.4.4
"Typical Test programs recommend that wrist straps that
are used daily should be tested daily. However, if the
products that are being produced are of such value that
knowledge of a continuous, reliable ground is needed, and
then continuous monitoring should be considered or even
required."
