19-5000-M Version 1 

Voltage Detection System Series 5000 

1. Product Description 

The Novx Series 5000 Voltage Detection System is an 
advanced portable instrument for use in ESC/ESD 
auditing, monitoring, and training with direct interface to 
the Novx Data Acquisition Software and facility 
monitoring systems.  The instrument is used for test and 
analysis of human body voltage, product performance, 
real-time equipment performance, ground integrity, and 
ESD training with the integration of the Novx Series 
6150 Training Light Tower.  The instrument along with 
the tower is an excellent marketing tool to demonstrate to customers your continued 
concern about electrostatic charge (ESC) in your manufacturing environment. 

2. System Description 

The system is factory calibrated and in most cases, data collection requires only the 
setting of a few toggle switches. The instrument is designed to be used by regular line 
employees as well as process engineers. They may be used to check the performance 
of existing ESD prevention products or to monitor ESC in sensitive work areas. 

The instrument is shipped completely assembled and ready for use. Simply attach the 
power cord to the back of the instrument and set the switches as needed for your 
particular application.  

NOTE: If you are using the instrument for training purposes, your system will also 
require a Training Light Tower and tower driver. 

2.1   Enclosure 

The Series 5000 is constructed using the standard Novx stainless steel enclosure 
with polycarbonate front- and rear-panel overlays. The purpose of the design is to 
provide ruggedness and cleanliness while remaining attractive and functional 

2.2   Rear-Panel 

Look first at the rear-panel of the instrument, see Figure 1. This area contains the 
power connection jack and various instrument settings to be adjusted prior to 
instrument operation.
