Introducing the New EMIT Zero Volt Monitor Solo!
- Single Station Continuous Dual-Wire Monitor
Continuously monitors the ground integrity and charge generation of one operator and supervisor as well as the ground integrity for one ESD worksurface and one optional tool, eliminating the need for periodic testing and record keeping of wrist straps - Patented* Dual Polarity Technology
Provides Real-Time Continuous Monitoring for Operator Path-to-Ground and Presence of 1 Meg Resistor True continuous monitoring (versus pulsed) instantaneously detects broken cords, intermittent faults, dry skin, loose bands and low resistance. - Dual Polarity Technology
Steady-State DC Dual Polarity Signal yields virtually zero voltage on the operator - Operator Charge Detection Alarm
Alarms if the operator generates or comes in contact with a voltage that would be dangerous to an ESD susceptible item - RS-485 Communication Ports
Use with EMIT SIM Software for test data acquisition and management - User Adjustable Features
Use the internal DIP switches to enable / disable test circuits and modify the operator test voltage, operator charge detection voltage and worksurface resistance limit - NIST Calibrated with Certificate
Calibrated with accepted procedures and standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. For more information on calibration of EMIT products see Calibration

“A properly grounded wrist strap will keep a person’s body voltage to approximately + 10 V. The main advantage to a constant [or continuous] monitor is the immediate indication that the employee receives if the wrist strap falls open. With an unmonitored system, the employee will not be aware of a wrist strap failure until the start of the next shift. This has reliability benefits for an ESD program as it might help reduce or eliminate ESD damage.
There are also other process benefits from using constant monitors such as the elimination of the need to maintain daily test logs and a reduction in the time for employees to make the daily test. For units that also monitor the connection of a work surface to protective earth, it is also possible to reduce or eliminate the checking of the work surface as part of the periodic audit of the process.
Constant monitors might be implemented by an organization due to high reliability requirements imposed by customers.” [CLC/TR 61340-5-2:2008 User guide Annex B.1.3 Constant monitors]

“All personnel shall be grounded … when handling ESDS [ESD sensitive items]. When personnel are seated at ESD protective workstations, they shall be connected to ground via a wrist strap system.” [EN 61340-5-1 Edition 1 2007-08 clause 5.3.2 Personnel grounding] Where continuous monitoring is used, no additional testing is required.” [EN 61340-4-1, per A.5.2]
“The wrist band will normally be worn for several hours at a time so it needs to be comfortable while making good contact with the skin. It is a good idea to check the wrist strap every time it is applied. Constant on line monitors can be used so that any breaks will be immediately found.” [EN 61340-5-2 section 5.2.7]
