The Ohm Metrics CM2015* dual conductor workstation monitor continuously checks two (2) operators and two(2) work surface ground connections. The unit has a normal voltage of 200mV when wearing a wrist strap and 900mV is the maximum (open wrist strap condition). The CM2015 packaged in a stainless steel
case with remote jacks.
Utilizing very precise, low-voltage, resistive loop
technology, the CM2015 is an extremely sensitive and reliable ground monitoring instrument that uses the operator’s skin resistance to determine if the system is operating properly. Audible and visible alarms are triggered if the operator’s resistance exceeds 10 or 35 megohm (selectable at factory with default of 35 megohm). Low resistance also triggers an alarm event.
Dual Conductor product line is the premiere work station grounding system available. The monitoring system uses specialized wrist bands and ground cords which contain two independent conducting elements that provide fail-safe ground protection. Using the CM2015 resistance monitor, the system continuously verifies the operation of grounding systems using a DC current source to measure a loop electrical resistance. The CM2015 and grounding products prevent static from being generated by assembly workers, eliminating possible damage to static-sensitive electronic components. The series includes cords available in 5, 10, or 20 feet lengths and both fabric and metal wristbands. |
