19-5000-M Version 1 

Voltage Detection System Series 5000 

10.  The proximity antenna should already be in place if you followed the above 

procedure to adjust the proximity alarm threshold. 

11.  If you wish to use a chart recorder to provide a permanent record of voltage 

readings, insert a connector into the analog out BNC connector. 

12.  Choose either probe or proximity monitoring by adjusting the display 

proximity/probe switch on the back-panel. 

NOTE: The peak hold display will show a light at the negative polarity location (the 
minus sign) when the instrument is powered up.  This serves simply to let you 
know that the power is on and the display is functioning. Polarity will automatically 
correct itself as the instrument begins data analysis. 

Place the proximity antenna at the desired location, if you are monitoring general 
ESC activity at the workstation. If you are using the probe monitor, make sure the 
wrist-strap is clean and securely in place. 

4.1.1  

Probe Voltage and Peak Hold Scale 

The voltage display on the front of the instrument (Figure 3) has a total of 
24 LEDs. The left-most element will light to indicate a negative polarity 
reading. The next element will light to indicate a positive polarity reading. 

4.1.1.1   LED Display 

 

 

 

 

The next two LED elements are blanks and do not serve a data 
reporting function. 

The remaining twenty elements indicate the level of ESC 
detected at any given moment (probe voltage) or the highest 
voltage reading (peak hold) since the last peak hold reset.
