Electrotech Systems static meters and static locators are ideal instruments for measuring electrostatic potentials encountered in development, manufacturing and end-user applications.
These meters are an excellent instruments for detecting and accurately measuring static electricity found in the manufacture and handling of electronic, paper, plastic, textile, food, chemical, biomedical and pharmaceutical products. In addition, these meters are invaluable instruments for use in computer rooms, clean rooms, hazardous locations, hospitals and locations where the measurement of electrostatic fields are required. Chopper-stabilized models enable measurements to be performed in ionized environments. The potential for damage caused by a static charge build-up on personnel involved in the handling of sensitive semiconductor devices or flammable material has been clearly established. Wrist straps, heel straps and footwear are the most commonly used protective devices which prevent the build-up of electrostatic charge on personnel. The random failure of a ground strap or ground connection compromises the protection it provides and can also create a potentially lethal shock hazard.
