Electrostatic monitor
 |
The Model 540 monitors the performance of air ionizers that are used in critical operations associated with semiconductor, LCD, electronic assembly and other processes where static charge accumulations pose a threat to production yield and product quality. The product uses a technique that requires less than 0.1 picoampere of ion current to be collected from the ion field to achieve full accuracy, stability and indicate ionizer output balance. An analog voltage output provides a signal for a facility monitoring system or for use as a feedback signal to control the ion balance of the ionizer. A DPM and a bar graph display offer local presentation of the monitored voltage.
