e.
Attach the wrist strap cord to the standard 4 mm snap connection located on the cuff
buckle.
f.
Connect the groundable end of the wrist strap cord to a previously tested ground
point.
3.
Connect a wire test lead to the CPM-720B Charge Plate Assembly banana plug receptacle. One
of the 800LR or 800LB ten-foot leads may be used for this purpose.
a.
Connect the opposite end of the test lead to a metal object, such as the PFA-861H
Hand-Held Electrode.
b.
Grasp the metal handle during walking tests to “share” one’s body charge with the
CPM-720B sensing plate.
c.
Generated body voltage will be indicated on the PFM-711B Field Meter.
4.
Select the range you wish to use for measuring body voltage generation.
a.
Select the V/inch range on the PFM-711B Field Meter and zero the unit, ±2 volts to
ground. This will provide the slowest indication of body voltage indication due to
meter dampening. Consequently, indicated voltages will be less than actual voltages
generated.
b.
Select the kV/inch range on the PFM-711B Field Meter and zero (0) the unit to ground.
This will provide better measurements of body voltage, which is the result of less
meter dampening. Again, however, indicated voltages will be less than actual voltages
generated.
