Ionization and Electrostatic Field Meter
The Botron B48382 AIM Audit Ionization Meter is a compact, portable survey instrument for measuring electrostatic charge and ion balance. The AIM measures electrostatic charges up to 20 kV (20,000 V) at a distance of 1" (25 mm).
Results are simultaneously displayed both numerically and in bar graph format on the large LCD. Also great for measuring ion balance on your workbench, the AIM will display ionization and polarity from -200V to +200V.
Moonlighting as a static field meter, the AIM becomes an indispensable tool. Static fields cannot be seen by the naked eye, and this is where the AIM becomes an extremely powerful tool for every ESD guru.
Periodic verification of ionization equipment is important when your ionizer is not equipped with a continuous ion balance monitor. Over time with usage, oil and dirt, tip corrosion, filter clogging, and component failure all can cause your ionizer to drift, producing more positive ions (cations), or adversely negative ions (anions). A simply way to make sure your ionizer is performing to spec is to run monthly or quarterly compliance checks with our AIM ionizer audit meter.
Reading hold
The hold feature is great when you need to take a reading with no visual sightlines. Simply, capture your reading, pull back and read the display.
Mode switching
Switch from ion balance to static field detection with the click of a button.
Distance assist
Two built-in LEDs produce a guidance beam that converges when you are within the optimal distance for static field metering.
