718 Static Sensor 718A Air Ionizer Test Kit
two functions; when pressed momentarily it switches between the two measurement ranges of 0-2,000 volts and 0-20,000 volts, and if held for longer than 3 seconds, it resets the voltage display to 0 volts. The HOLD button allows the user to freeze a measurement on the LCD for later review. Ranging System Included with the 718 Static Sensor is a ranging system consisting of two light-emitting diodes (LEDs) which each emit a circular red light onto the surface being measured for static. When the two lights intersect and form a single focused light, the measurement distance is the prescribed 1 inch (2.54 cm).

3M 718 Static Sensor

Hand-held static sensor locates and measures static voltages and tests air ionizers. The 3MTM 718 Static Sensor can help companies competing in the global high-tech marketplace prevent costly losses due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage by playing a vital and valuable role in their own ESD control program. Easy to use, the hand-held 718 Static Sensor is designed to measure static voltages on objects and surfaces arising from electrostatic charge buildups, and can help identify ESD trouble-spots ensuring product reliability and customer satisfaction which translates into company prots. As a bonus, when used in conjunction with the 3MTM Model 718A Air Ionizer Test Kit, the 718 can also be used to verify the operation of air ionizers. 718 Static Sensor Features Small-size, lightweight, conductive plastic housing Membrane switches for Power, Range/Zero and Hold functions. Digital, LCD (liquid-crystal) display is easy to read and updates quickly. Ranging system assists user in making quick and easy measurements. Measurements accurate to 5%. Output jack available for continuous measurements. Convenient Size/Low Power Requirements The 718 is small enough to be carried in a pocket and weighs less than 5 oz. (142 g), including battery. The lightweight plastic housing is conductive, allowing a properly-grounded user to dissipate all electrostatic charges from the surface of the meter. Meter Functions The meter is equipped with three membrane switches which control different functions. The POWER switch turns the instrument on and off. The RANGE/ZERO button performs

Accuracy The 718 Static Sensor is accurate to within 5% of the displayed measurement, at a distance of one inch (2.54 cm) from the target. Accuracy will vary as the distance between measured object and instrument changes from the one inch (2.54 cm) specication. Analog Output Jack The analog output jack located in the front of the unit provides a convenient hook-up, via a 3/32 inch (2.5 mm) monophone jack, to a recorder/data acquisition console. The 718 Static Sensor may then be used for remote monitoring or permanent recording of electrostatic voltage readings. 3M 718 Static Sensor Specications

for measurement of the ionizers offset balance. The charger can be used to deposit an electrostatic charge on the plate. Measuring how long it takes the ionizer to neutralize this static charge gives the ionizer discharge time. Calibration and Certication The 3M 718 Static Sensor can be ordered as calibrated and certied by a 3M ISO9002 Registered Metrology Laboratory. Calibration can be traced back to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards, as specied in MIL-STD-45662. 3M 718A Air Ionizer Test Kit Specications
