This document provides essential information for the SCS 718 Static Sensor, a portable handheld instrument designed for locating and measuring electrostatic charges. It serves as a valuable tool for ESD-control engineers, helping to identify electrostatic discharge (ESD) trouble areas.
The SCS 718 Static Sensor offers a versatile measurement range, automatic zeroing, and a HOLD function to freeze readings. It also features an automatic shutoff to conserve battery power. The guide details battery installation and indicators for both the 718 Static Sensor and the SCS Air Ionizer Test Kit 718A.
Key operational aspects covered include proper grounding techniques for accurate measurements, turning the unit on and off, and making electrostatic voltage measurements. The document explains how to use the distance indicator LEDs to achieve the optimal 1-inch measurement distance and discusses the impact of measurement accuracy and object size.
Furthermore, the guide outlines the operation of the SCS Air Ionizer Test Kit 718A, including assembly, charging the plate, and testing ionizer discharge time and offset balance. It references relevant industry standards such as ANSI/ESD S3.1 and ANSI/ESD SP3.3.
Service and calibration procedures are also provided. While the products are factory calibrated, the manual offers steps for user-calibration of the Static Sensor 718, outlining the necessary equipment and procedures. Detailed specifications for both the 718 Static Sensor and the 718A Air Ionizer Test Kit are included, covering performance, dimensions, power requirements, and certifications.
Safety information emphasizes the intended use of the devices and cautions against improper power sources or disassembly. Regulatory information, including WEEE, cULus, FCC, and RoHS compliance, is also presented.
For service or repair inquiries, users are advised to contact their local SCS representative. For more details on warranty, exclusions, and liability, please refer to the SCS Warranty information.
