NOTE:
Worksurface must have a conductive layer such as
Dual Layer Rubber or Dissipative 3-Layer Vinyl or Micastat
®
Dissipative Laminate with conductive buried layers. Desco
continuous monitors are not recommended for use with
homogeneous matting.
Operation
USING THE MONITOR
1. Fit the wristband snugly onto your wrist.
2. Snap the wrist cord to the wristband.
3. Plug the wrist cord into the monitored jack labeled
“OPR”. The corresponding operator LED will illuminate
solid green. This indicates that the operator is properly
grounded.
4. If this does not happen, examine the wrist cord for
continuity or damage and your wristband to ensure that it
fits securely. If you have dry skin, apply an approved
dissipative hand lotion such as
Figure 6. Using the Body Voltage Monitor
3. Attach the tinned wire end of the mat monitor cord to its
appropriate terminal block connection located on the
back of the monitor.
4. Route the mat monitor cord from the back of the monitor
to the worksurface mat. Use the included washer and
screw to secure the cord to the mat (see Figure 5). The
worksurface mat requires its ground cord to have an
embedded 1 megohm resistor such as the Desco
.
Figure 5. Screw allows ground cord to be bolted to mat
to keep cord from disconnecting

bracket
5. Attach the tinned wire end of the included ground cord to
the appropriate terminal block connection on the back of
the monitor. Attach the ring terminal end to a ground
point. It is important that this ground cord is attached to
a different ground point than that of the worksurface mat.
The face plate screw of a grounded AC wall outlet may
provide a convenient connection point.
6. If applicable, attach the tinned wire end of the tool
monitor cord to the appropriate terminal block connection
on the back of the monitor. The included alligator clip
or ring terminal may be applied to the banana plug for a
secure connection to the grounded metal tool fixture that
you choose to monitor.
7. Connect the DC power supply to the power jack located
on the back of the monitor. Route the wire from the
supply to a nearby AC outlet and plug it into the outlet.
Make sure the voltage and frequency match those listed
on the power supply. The monitor is now powered.
