Dual-Wire Dual Operator Monitor
Installation, Operation and Maintenance
Description
The Desco
Dual-Wire Dual Operator Monitor
monitors two operators and two ESD worksurfaces
eliminating the need for periodic testing and
record keeping of wrist straps. The Dual-Wire Dual
Operator Monitor uses low-voltage steady state DC
continuous-loop technology to continuously monitor
(versus pulsed or intermittent) dual-wire wrist strap
functionality. Independent audio and visual alarm
conditions make it easy to identify the status of the
worksurfaces and operators. Two operator remotes
with 10 foot cables are included for use at adjacent
workstations. Each monitor is calibrated with accepted
procedures and standards traceable to the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and
includes a NIST certificate.
ANSI/ESD S20.20 section 7.3 states “Compliance
verification records shall be established and maintained
to provide evidence of conformity to the technical
requirements.” Per ANSI/ESD S1.1 Annex A.3 Daily
(wrist strap system) testing may be omitted if constant
monitoring used.” Per ESD Handbook ESD TR 20.20
section 5.3.2.4.4 “Typical Test programs recommend
that wrist straps that are used daily should be tested
daily. However, if the products that are being produced
are of such value that knowledge of a continuous,
reliable ground is needed, and then continuous
monitoring should be considered or even required.”
