As per ANSI/ESD S20:20 all conductors including Personnel must be electrically connected and attached to a known ground.
A common question about Antistatic wrist straps is how and where to ground them. Antistatic workstation operators need a convenient method of grounding their wrist straps where the ground cord won’t get in the way of their work. This convenient device provides the means to ground Antistatic wrist straps at your workstation.
The strong bracket mounts (with just 2 screws) to the bottom front edge of your work table or bench. Two banana sockets located in the front of the bracket allow for easy connection of two wrist strap cords (for operators working side by side).

Features :

• • Designed to mount under the bench, saving work surface space
• • 2 banana jacks allow for grounding two Antistatic wrist straps at once
• • Lug for attachment to earth ground
• • Front edge bench mounting of the ground block via two screw slots

The Electrostatic Alarm Z201 is a portable, battery-operated instrument, incorporating the latest technology, to indicate the presence of approaching static electricity. It is designed to provide a quick and convenient method of locating static charges and their approximate charge levels. It is primarily intended for use in static-safe handling areas, as an early warning system to alert the personnel nearby.
The hazard may be in the form of personnel who are generating static or personnel who may be holding a charged object without observing the standard safety procedures for handling static sensitive devices.
The instrument incorporates a unique self-resetting feature and therefore requires no manual adjustments or zeroing. It can be kept 'ON' for continuous monitoring of critical static-safe areas, thanks to its remarkably low current drain of only 1 ma.

THEORY OF OPERATION

A static charge on an object produces an electric field whose strength is an inverse function of the distance from the charge. A given magnitude of charge always produces a given field strength at a given distance. The unique sensor of the instrument actually responds to this electric field. However, more specifically, it senses only changes in the electric field, so to detect a charge there should be relative motion between the instrument and the charged body.

SPECIFICATIONS :

Detection method		Charge coupling by field interception.
Detection sensitivity		100 V or more
Range selection		Autoranging and autoresetting
Indication		By audible/visual alarm
Power supply		9 V battery
Dimensions in mm		Table model - 125 x 75 x 29

This instrument is designed to measure the Static Voltages carried on a human body. It is a good auditing tool to verify whether Personnel entering an ESD safe area are carrying any hazardous charges on themselves. It can also serve to verify whether all the ESD protection measures which have been taken to make a particular area ESD safe are effective. By such measures, we mean conductive flooring, antistatic table mats, wrist straps, static shielding bags, ionizing equipment, conductive containers and bins etc.
It is very simple to use and only requires the personnel under test to touch the Button on the instrument and directly read the charge level in volts on the meter.

BAR TYPE - STATIC ELIMINATOR Z2075

The generation and accumulation of unwanted electrostatic charges, both surface and airborne, poses a serious problem in various industries and processes. For example, static charges can lead to sticking and crumpling of polyester films while being processed on the machines. Collection of dust and other particulate contaminants on surfaces due to static is another example. The discharge bars and the power supply are used primarily in cases where disruptive static charges on fast moving material webs impair production processes and need to be eliminated.

How it works
This static eliminator works on the principle of high voltage corona discharge, to produce the neutralising ions. This Static eliminator system is designed to neutralize the charges by the “Ion showering” process wherein the surface charges present are neutralised. It is designed for continuous use and the unique “Shockless bars” ensure total safety even if the electrodes are accidently touched.

OVERHEAD STATIC ELIMINATOR (IONIZER) Z209

The generation and accumulation of unwanted electrostatic charges, both surface and airborne, poses a serious problem in various industries, work areas & laboratories. For instance, static charges can cause havoc in the electronic assembly shopfloor. This OVERHEAD unit can be conveniently hung over the work area for a large coverage to neutralise the charges on personnel or on any item entering an ESD sensitive area. This is achieved with a stream of ionized air. "Ion showering" is the only effective method of removing static charges from non-conductive objects and surfaces. The unique high-efficiency pulse circuitry provides fast discharge with limited air flow. It works on the principle of high-voltage corona discharge to produce the neutralising ions.
Ion Balance is maintained irrespective of supply voltage and even if the discharge electrodes are dirty. Balanced output is essential when used in critical ESD sensitive areas.

STATIC ELIMINATOR (IONIZER) Z207

The generation and accumulation of unwanted electrostatic charges, both surface and airborne, poses a serious problem in various industries and laboratories. For instance, static charges can create havoc with sensitive equipment and electronic components. This Bench Top instrument is designed to neutralise your ESD work-station or ESD protected area with a stream of ionized air. It does what Wrist straps and Conductive mats cannot do - i.e. remove static charges from non-conductive objects and surfaces.

It is able to rapidly neutralise potentially dangerous charges in a localised area. An axial fan gives the desired air flow to neutralise static on specific objects rapidly, as well as control static in the general area in front of the ionizer.

This is a powerful, trouble free and compact solution to static control problems anywhere. The unique high efficiency ionization pulse circuitry provides fast discharge with minimum air flow. A high air flow would lead to operator discomfort and may also disturb small components.

This static eliminator works on the principle of high voltage corona discharge to produce the neutralising ions. It is designed for continuous use and a current limitor circuit ensures operator safety even if the ion emitters are accidentally touched. The Z207 has special circuitry to ensure a balanced ion output. This ensures that no net charge is induced by the ion shower. Balance is maintained irrespective of supply voltage and even if the discharge electrodes are dirty. Balanced output is essential when used in ESD protected areas.

APPLICATION AREAS :

• Antistatic workstations and assembly units.
• Plastic film and paper industries
• Plastic manufacturing and moulding units.
• Pharmaceutical industry.
• Clean Rooms.

STATIC CHARGE METER (DIGITAL) Z205

The Static Charge Meter Z205 is a non-contact, light weight digital instrument designed to measure static voltages on objects & surfaces. It features a large LCD display to indicate the magnitude and polarity of the electrostatic charge directly in Kilovolts.
The special circuitry enables repeated and drift-free measurements without continual re-zeroing. The instrument has good directional sensitivity and is ideal for measuring electric charges encountered in critical electronic assembly and storage areas as well as Antistatic WorkStations. It can also be used for Plastics, Paper, Textiles, Food, Explosives and Pharmaceutical Industries. The unit gives direct readings of electrostatic potentials on any surface, when held at a distance of 5 cms. However, higher electrostatic potentials can be measured by proportionately increasing the distance from the meter to the charged object. The use of very low current circuitry results in a long battery life of over 6 months under normal use.
