The Desco Full-Time Continuous Monitor is a single workstation continuous monitor. It continuously monitors the wiring of an AC outlet, path-to-ground integrity of one operator, and the ground plane of one ESD worksurface. Mounting tabs make it suitable to install in workbench or equipment settings. The embedded relay terminal activates when a pass condition is displayed the monitor and maybe connected to machines for access control or other devices. Connect the 19323 Power Relay accessory to control power to workbenches, hand tools, and other electronic devices dependent on the Full-Time Continuous Monitor's status.
The Full-Time Continuous Monitor is designed with Wave Distortion Technology to provide stable continuous monitoring of the path-to-ground and presence of 1 megohm resistance of an operator’s wrist strap. Audio and visual alarms activate (in less than 500 milliseconds) when the operator unintentionally disconnects from the monitor or the wrist strap connection points are intermittent. The Full-Time Continuous Monitor also monitors for a worksurface path-to-ground of less than 10 megohms and the integrity of the electrical ground used to by the monitor All Full-Time Continuous Monitors are calibrated to NIST standards and include a certificate.
