Ground Hub Continuous Monitor, North America
The Desco Ground Hub Continuous Monitor confirms the integrity of the resistance path from the common ground point to electrical ground. It is designed in accordance with ESD TR 12-01 to “monitoring equipment ground connections.”
When the Ground Hub Continuous Monitor is plugged into an AC outlet, the green LED illuminates when both the outlet’s wiring is correct and the path to equipment ground via the equipment grounding conductor is intact. The monitor provides 13 verified ground points when in PASS condition. The red LED illuminates when either the outlet’s wiring is incorrect or the path-to-equipment ground is defective.
North American Outlet Monitor (Type B Plug)- Monitors proper AC outlet wiring and meets the ANSI/ESD S6.1 requirement for verifying wiring orientation

The grounding system must be verified periodically at the frequency established in a user defined ESD Control Program Plan. [Grounding ANSI/ESD S6.1 section 6.2 Verification Frequency]
All of the grounding conductors from each of the ESD technical elements (excluding level 2 technical elements) used within an EPA shall be terminated at the same electrically equivalent point. The common point ground may be a terminal strip, bus bar or any other convenient configuration that is, within itself, electrically continuous to no greater than 1 ohm measured from point to point with an ohmmeter.
