The new 3M Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor 773 from the 3M Electronic Solutions Division provides effective workstation monitoring in applications with two metal ground requirements. The 773 monitor grounds and monitors two operators and monitors two metal grounds.
The 773 monitor is the latest addition to the 3M Down to Earth family of monitors, which offers practical and cost effective solutions for electrostatic discharge (ESD) in electronics assembly. It is designed to meet the needs of manufacturers of hard disk drives, printed circuit boards, defense and aerospace equipment, and medical devices.
The 773 monitor accurately measures ground impedance in automated tools while they are in operation, allowing immediate corrective action to improve production yields. The monitor's real-time communication and audio alarm allows for immediate shut down should impedance values exceed facility standards. Miniature in size, the 773 monitor is easy to install and unobtrusive on the product floor. The monitor's measurements are ANSI/ESD S6.1 and ANSI/ESD S20.20 compliant.
