CTC061/2 Dual Workstation Monitor

Assurance of continuous good grounding is the cornerstone for an ESD-safe environment. Utilizing the latest advances in digital signal processing, WS Aware® provides continuous uninterrupted monitoring of all grounding parameters on a workbench or in a tool, in full compliance with ANSI 6.1 and ANSI/ESDA S.20.20 requirements, as well as high-frequency noise (EMI) on ground. For operators, WS Aware® utilizes dual wrist straps for a continuous resistivity check of human body connection and patent-pending advanced DSP technology for reliable monitoring ultilzing ultra-low control voltage. Each operator's body voltage is also continuously monitored. For equipment, WS Aware® CTC061 provides continuous monitoring for two metal grounds (such as tools) and for two "soft" grounds (such as dissipative mats, surfaces and parts made of dissipative plastics), or four metal grounds (CTC062) WS Aware® provides monitoring of EMI on metal grounds with programmable alarm thresholds. As electromagnetic interference (EMI) is rapidly becoming a significant factor in equipment failures, this patent-pending unique feature of WS Aware® will help assure proper operation of your equipment. Key Advantages Highly Integrated This miniature monitor with the footprint of a credit card, packs inside a combination of features that cannot be found in any monitor several times its size. Assurance of Operator Grounding WS Aware® utilizes patent-pending Big Brother™ terminals that detect the presence of an operator and raises an alarm if an operator is within reach of sensitive components but is not plugged in. Ultra-Low Voltage WS Aware® provides only 25 millivolts of signal to any part of the wrist strap at anytime, even when it is open -- many times less than any comparable monitor. WS Aware® is completely safe to use in any environment utilizing the most sensitive components -- now or for years to come. Safety WS Aware® has built-in safety 1M resistors in ground path for each half of the wriststrap. This assures operator's safety and quick charge dissipation.
