Continuously verifying the integrity of the ground system is critical to an effective ESD protection program. Using specialized impedance sensing technology, the CM400, CM410, CM420, and CM2015 monitoring products continuously check the total ground loop, including the operator, the wrist band and the coil cord. The systems are compatible with most signal wire wrist straps.

Reliable, Repeatable Results
Accuracy and reliability are improved with the impedance technology incorporated into our constant monitors. False alarms disappear and adjustments are not necessary. Powered and grounded by an AC adapter, the system is
fully automatic and begins sensing when a coil cord is plugged into the unit. A green light indicates a safe connection and a red light and audible alarm communicate
an unsafe connection.
Continuous Monitors pay for themselves
ESD-S1.1 notes that it is not necessary to test wrist straps daily when using constant monitoring systems. Higher value-added products especially benefit from the certainty of continuous monitoring.
The CM400, CM410 and CM420 are perfect solutions for assuring workstation grounding protection.

How does an ESD constant monitor work?
Reliable performance of ESD matting and ESD wrist straps is critical for your product's integrity and reliability. Yet hand testing and hand logging wrist straps and table top material performance is a cumbersome, labor intensive paperwork nightmare. Use of our ESD wrist strap and ESD bench mat monitors continuously verifies the effectiveness of your ESD protected workstation, simultaneously satisfies ISO logging requirements and insures outstanding product quality.
Operators plug their Transforming Technologies’ ESD coil cord into the grounding jack of the constant monitor right at their workstation. The constant monitor grounds the wrist strap and simultaneously monitors for faults in the ground path from the strap to the earth ground, including proper contact to the operators skin. A proper working ground path results in the LED on the constant monitor to glow green (indicating GOOD). If a fault is detected, the LED will blink red (indicating FAULT), and the unit will repeatedly beep.
Types of monitors Transforming Technologies carries include:
- Capacitance constant monitors- used with a single wire wrist strap.
- Impedance constant monitors-uses a detection circuit designed to reduce false alarms and eliminate adjustments.
- Resistance constant monitors- used with as two wire (dual) wrist strap.
- Body voltage constant monitors- This type senses the voltage on a person’s body through a wrist strap.
When considering a constant monitor, the equipment cost including the wrist strap, maintenance and training cost, labor time for performing wrist strop tests and the potential failures due to non-functional wrist straps should be considered.
