5 Application
Preconditions:
The Statometer II and its components must have been connected correctly.
The position of the Statometer II does not affect its functioning.
5.1 Determination of the field intensity
1. Check whether the chassis ground connection has been made. No reliable measurements
can be made unless the unit is grounded via the ground terminal (Section 3, item 7).
2.
Pull the protective cap from the measuring head and check for contamination. Clean, if
required (refer to Section 7.1).
3.
Keep the measuring head away from electric fields to perform the zero calibration. Press the
range selector button. The impeller in the measuring head now turns, and the unit will
perform an automatic zero calibration.
4. Move the measuring head vertically towards to the measuring surface. The measuring
distance amounts to 30 mm.
5.
Read the amount and polarity of the field intensity measured from the display.
6.
In case of a capacitor field, the value displayed is not corrected. In case of measurements on
flat surfaces, the displayed value will be corrected by a factor of 1.5.
Example: Measuring value 12 kV/m
Capacitor field 12 kV/m x 1 = 12 kV/m
Surface area 12 kV/m x 1.5 = 19.2 kV/m
Surfaces must be larger than the measuring head diameter (Ø 30 mm).
In case of convex or concave surfaces, the measuring value will be
falsified!
In case of very high field intensities and insufficient measuring distance,
a sparkover to the measuring head may occur.
