AE-790 Static Checker Meter

INTRODUCTION:

The AE-790 Static Checker Meter is a simple, easy-to-use and inexpensive unit that indicates how much static is present on a person and that drains the charge to the connected ground. This unit can be held in the hand or mounted to a wall. The AE-790 Static Checker Meter is the all-around audit tool for your protection against static.

FEATURES:

-Quick visual display of static from 0-19,990 volts

-Touch to test static in both positive and negative polarity

-Easy to ground by simultaneously touching 10mm snap contact

-Low battery indicator built into liquid crystal display (LCD)

-Micro-power circuit allows 9-volt alkaline battery to continuously display for approximately six months

-Conductive static-safe carrying case with protective anti-static foam included

-Detects how much static a person is carrying

-Audits any potential static generator or disspater including the following:

Wrist straps, heel grounders, toe straps, static-safe shoes, chairs, table mats, floor mats, ground leads, purpose-built floors, garments, static sprays, floor finishes, the difference in potential between two people or materials, etc.

OPERATION:

Before using the AE-790 Static Checker Meter for any of the below tests, ground the meter using the provided six-foot cord. The cord has a 10mm snap at one end and a 4mm banana plug at the other end. The 10mm snap and the 4mm banana plug are a common ground on the AE-790 Static Checker Meter.

NOTE: Failure to ground the unit can result in inconsistent results. If the AE-790 Static Checker Meter is not grounded, a charge is retained, resulting in inconsistent readings. The circuit will only become responsive when offered a path to ground.

Standard Test:

To check for a static charge or buildup on a person and to ground the charge, simply set the unit in a convenient place and press a finger to the rectangular “Touch to Test” plate. The LCD will display a range of “0000” volts to “19,990” volts on the LCD depending on the static buildup on the person undergoing the test. Then touch the 10mm stud next to the word “Ground”. This will discharge any static charge immediately.
