The SCS 770044 Ground Master Monitor is an equipment ground continuous monitor for metal tools. It continuously monitors the path-to-ground impedance and electromagnetic integrity of eight metal ground connections of process tools in work areas. This includes semiconductor, disk drive, flat panel, and electronic equipment manufacturing environments. The monitor provides both visual and audible alarms and includes fuse protection for each channel. The Ground Master Monitor continuously monitors eight metal tools for electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI can cause equipment lockups and malfunction. The Ground Master Monitor will alarm if EMI is detected. Each Ground Master Monitor is calibrated with accepted procedures and standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and includes a certificate of calibration.

SCS Ground Master Monitor Features and Attributes:

• Equipment ground continuous monitor – continuously monitors the path-to-ground impedance of eight metal tools; meets ANSI/ESD S20.20
• 7-24V DC power input terminals - pairs with voltage sources commonly found inside machinery and eliminates the need for a power adapter
• EMI monitoring on metal grounds – alarms if the grounded metal tools have high-frequency noise that could cause electrical overstress (EOS) damage
• Ethernet connectivity – provides network communication with Static Management Program (SMP) – 770055 Sold Separately;  Data collected through SMP includes metal ground impedance and EMI voltage
• Optical relay terminal – pairs with lights and buzzers for increased visibility
• 100-240V AC power adapter with interchangeable plugs - works with standard electrical systems in North America, the United Kingdom, Japan, Asia, and Europe
• Certificate of calibration
• Made in the USA

The SCS 770044 Ground Master Monitor is compatible with SCS Static Management Program (SMP). SMP continuously monitors an ESD process control system throughout all stages of manufacturing. SMP captures data from SCS workstations, equipment, and ESD event continuous monitors and provides a real-time picture of critical manufacturing processes. All activity is stored in a database for ongoing quality control purposes. SMP allows its administrators to pinpoint areas of concern and prevent ESD events. Quantifiable data allows its administrators to see trends, become more proactive, and prove the efficiency of their ESD process control system.

The EM Aware Monitor meets the Continuous Monitor requirements of ANSI/ESD S20.20 in accordance with ESD TR1.0-01 and ANSI/ESD STM3.1. It meets the recommendations of ESD Handbook ESD TR20.20, which includes:

“if the products that are being produced are of such value that knowledge of a continuous, reliable ground is needed, and then continuous monitoring should be considered or even required.”
