Operation
WARNING:
Never apply or discharge voltage directly to
the EM Aware Monitor's metal remote antenna as this
may cause significant damage to the EM Aware Monitor.
Controlling the EM Aware Monitor
The EM Aware Monitor is controlled using a 5-position
joystick located to the right of its display. The joystick
can be toggled left, right, up, and down and pushed
inward.
The EM Aware Monitor will default to the ESD Event
display upon completion of its boot-up sequence.
Toggle the joystick down to advance the display to the
next channel, and toggle the joystick up to return to the
previous channel. See Figure 9.
Push down and hold the joystick for 3 seconds to enter
the displayed settings.

REF:
Indicator appears during ESD event threshold
setup.
ESD Event
Counting
Mode:
Denotes that ESD event
counting is active
ESD Level Bar Graph:
Displays the current ESD level.
ESD Threshold Marker:
Marks the ESD event
threshold on the ESD level bar graph .
MAX:
Indicates the maximum magnitude of ESD event
within the last second duration.
PEAK:
Indicates that the noise filter is enabled. If
"PEAK" is not displayed, the noise filter is disabled.
ESD Counter:
Counts the number of events over the
set threshold. The maximum number is 1999 and resets
to O once this limit is exceeded.
ESD Event Peaks:
Voltage level that is received by
the antenna which is a result of an ESD event near the
antenna. It is measured in dBµV.
ESD Event Settings
1. Toggle the joystick until the ESD Event channel is
displayed (see Figure 10).
2. To reset the ESD counter to zero, push down the
joystick momentarily.
3. To change the ESD threshold, push down and hold
the joystick until "ESD" is displayed. The "REF"
indicator will appear on the top-left corner of the
display to indicate that the ESD threshold value can
be modified. Toggle the joystick left to decrease
the threshold. Toggle the joystick right to increase
the threshold. Hold the joystick in either direction to
quickly increment the value.
