718 Static Sensor

Safety Information

Intended Use

The 3M™ 718 Static Sensor is a portable,
handheld instrument designed for measuring
voltages associated with electrostatic charge.
Its intended use is for measuring the amount
of voltage, in a range from 0-20 kilovolts,
associated with an electrostatic charge
buildup on a surface.  Any deviation from
this intended use could impair the
instrument’s effectiveness and possibly lead
to an unsafe operating condition.

The 3M™ 718A Air Ionizer Test Kit is a 
set of accessories for use in conjunction 
with the 3M 718 Static Sensor.  Their
intended use is for verifying the operation of
air ionizers by measuring the neutralization 
time for a static charge placed on a
stationary metal plate. Any deviation 
from this intended use could impair the
instrument’s effectiveness and possibly lead
to an unsafe operating condition. 

Caution Statements

• The 718 Static Sensor and 718A Charger

use DC 9V power supplied by a 9V
alkaline battery.  Usage of any other
power source may cause damage to the
instruments.

• The 718 Static Sensor and 718A Air

Ionizer Test Kit have no user-serviceable
parts.  Do not disassemble the products for
any reason.  UNAUTHORIZED SERVICE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

• The 718 and 718A are NOT designed for usage in hazardous environments where the

possibility of explosion or fire exists.

Read and understand all safety information before installing and operating 
this equipment.
