PFK-100 Field Meter Set
1.
Confi rming the electrosta c voltage balance of ionizer blowers and systems
2.
Measuring electrosta c voltage genera on of personnel in conjunc on with footwear and fl oor
surfaces.
3.
Measuring electrosta c voltage genera on related to chairs, carts and equipment.
The voltages generated or applied to the CPM-720A Charge Plate Assembly are read directly on
the PFM-711A Meter instrument.
C.
The PCS-730 Charging Source is an auxiliary ba ery operated electrosta c power supply for use
with the CPM-720A Charge Plate Assembly. The PCS-730 provides approximately ±1.25kV when
grounded and used with its charging wand. Once the PFM-711A Field Meter and CPM-720A Charge
Plate are assembled, the PCS-730 Charging Source will apply a defi ned electrosta c voltage to the
CPM-720A plate. Having the capability to charge the CPM-720A provides a mul tude of electro-
sta c audi ng and performance test capabili es. Primary applica ons for the CPM-730 Charging
Source are:
1.
Confi rming the electrical decay performance of ionizers and other equipment
2.
Confi rming electrosta c decay of personnel, clothing, materials and equipment
3.
Performing suppression analysis on work surfaces, produc on aids and other materials and
devices

General Opera ons
A.
Field Measurements using the PFM-711A Field Meter
1.
Before opera ng the PFM-711A, the operator should select
and wear a fully func onal wrist strap that is properly
grounded.
2.
With the operator’s fi ngers contac ng the grounding snap
on the back of the unit, slide the three posi on (
kV/inch,
OFF, V/inch ) RANGE/POWER switch (s1) to the kV/inch
posi on.
OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENT
Cases of PFM-711A Field Meter and PCS-730 Charging Source MUST
be grounded for proper opera on.
a. Confi rm that the instrument’s display is ac vated and that the ba ery low indica on ( BATT )
is not displayed. If low ba ery indica on is displayed, replace the ba ery.
b. Insure the HOLD feature is OFF . Turn the HOLD feature OFF by pushing the SAMPLE/HOLD
(s2) control bu on once.
c. Hold the unit away from surfaces and objects, and rotate the Black Panel ZERO knob (r16)
un l the display indicates 0.00.
