The Desco EMIT 50528 provides continuous ground monitoring of two operators and their workstations using patented ZERO VOLT MONITORING™ resistive loop technology. No other method is as direct and reliable. This technology allows the operator to typically be near zero volts with respect to Earth ground. The 50528 is also unaffected by capacitance variations associated with personnel and environmental conditions.

Continuous Monitors pay for themselves improving quality, productivity, eliminating wrist strap daily testing and test result logging. Per 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 TR 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."

Features:

• Dual Wire Continuous Monitors provide redundancy
  (Even if one dual wire wrist strap conductor is severed, operator has reliable path-to-ground with the other wire)
• Most advanced means of monitoring the ground path for operators, workstations, and equipment
• Adjustable audible alarm level
• For use with dual-wire wrist straps
• Operator charge detection
• Made in America

Note: Work surface must have a conductive layer such as Dual Layer Rubber or Dissipative 3-Layer Vinyl or Micastat® Dissipative Laminate with conductive buried layers. Our Continuous Monitors are not recommended for use with homogeneous matting.
