Overview
The 3M
™
ESD Pro is a hand-held indicator of ESD events that shows the
relative strength of each ESD event and counts the number of ESD events
above the set threshold.
ESD events, or electrostatic discharges, can damage sensitive electronic
components. The ultimate goal of ESD protection, such as grounding, wrist
straps, ionizers, static-dissipative mats and alike is to prevent ESD events, or,
at least, decrease their strength and frequency of occurrence. The only way
to verify that your ESD protection works is by knowing whether you have
ESD events in your environment, how strong they are and how many of them
occur. Thus, instruments such as the 3M
™
ESD Pro serve as your ultimate
measure of effectiveness of your ESD protection.
The 3M
™
ESD Pro is capable of rejecting non-ESD related EMI
(electromagnetic interference) events. This patent-pending methodology
allows assessment of the ESD environment in places where EMI events
resulting from stepper motors, solenoids, relays and other similar events
abound.
The 3M
™
ESD Pro is an indicator, not a metrology instrument. It displays
the relative strength of ESD events, not their absolute values. For 3M
instruments that provide you with data on absolute values of ESD events, look
