Constant Monitors for ESD Wrist Straps and Mats The uncontrolled discharge of static electricity can wreak havoc on the small electronic components used in the manufacturing of electronics. To eliminate static from the technician and control this problem technicians and the mats they work on must connected to a reliable electrical ground. Our ESD wrist strap and mat monitors insure the connection of the technician and mat to ground and alarm if this grounding becomes compromised.
After all, the reliable performance of ESD matting and ESD wrist straps are critical for your product's integrity and problem free performance. Yet hand testing and logging wrist strap and ESD bench mat 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. Let's face it: Wrist straps can fail, ESD mat cords can become detached. How much compromised product could you build before you catch the problem? Our Monitors test for problems every second of the working day!

ESD constant monitors, the good, the bad and the UGLY:
Now-a-days there are a variety of monitors to choose from. Many require expensive hard to find dual wire wrist straps, provide a pulsed verification a mere 10% of the time or are overseas knockoffs so cheaply made that FRAGILE should be in their part number! NOT SO with our monitors! These monitors provide 100% continuous verification, don't require special wrist straps and these American Made monitors are designed to exacting close tolerance specifications backed by the strongest warranty in the industry!
Our ST series single threshold monitors: Alarm at high resistance levels only and test the most typical failure modes such as compromised skin to wrist strap contact, worn strap material or broken ground cords and connections (high resistance levels = alarm).
Our DT Series dualthreshold monitors: Test the typical failure modes such as compromised skin to wrist strap contact, worn strap material or broken ground cords and connections (high resistance levels = alarm) AND test for lost minimum resistance (IE the failure of the resistor in the wrist strap or ground cords).
Loss of the wrist strap safety resistor can constitute a safety hazard for the operator (especially when working with high voltage power supplies and equipment). In addition, lost resistance can cause an immediate discharge of electrostatic potential (rather than controlled) potentially as damaging as not eliminating the charge in the first place.
