Meter for Testing of Electrostatic Fields

The hand-held PFM-711B Fieldmeter is an instrument used to perform static surveys and polarity on objects with accuracy of ±2% at ambient conditions (23ºC and 30%Rh). This stabilized chopper can be used in environments with a presence of ionization without drifting. The Hold button allows the field meter to hold the measurement for easy recording. It also features automatic polarity indication, low battery indicator, high and low ranges, distance ranging lights for accurate and repeatable measurements, manual zero control and a ground snap. The PFM-711A includes two ranges of operation:

  • 0 to 1,999V in 1 Volt increments with <±2% error
  • 0 to 20,000V in 10 Volt increments with <±5% error up to 5kV

With the supplied analog output cable, it can be used in conjunction with an X-Y plotter or any analog data-recording device. The front panel analog output jack provides a 1 volt output corresponding to 10kV, which is independent of the selected meter range and indication.

A Portable Charge Plate Monitor

The CPM-720B Charge Plate Assembly is 3.25 inches square. It attaches to the PFM-711B field meter for ionizer balancing per ANSI/ESD SP3.3 Periodic Verification, voltage or charge generation and voltage suppression analysis.

The CPM-720B 3.25 inch plate has a a capacitance of 19pF.

Charge It Up!

The PCS-730B ±1 kV Charging Source is used to charge the CPM-720B to ±1,000 volts to measure ionizer decay time as required by both ANSI/ESD S3.1 and ANSI/ESD SP3.3.

These three instruments are match calibrated to work together for accurate and efficient auditing.

Measuring Material Decay Time

The PDT-740B Static Decay Timer is typical of Prostat’s innovative technology and support of Professional ESD Control Managers and Auditors.This unique accessory is designed to measure the decay time of ionizers from ±1,000 volts to less than 100 volts in accordance with ESD Association’s Ionization Standard ANSI/ESD STM3.1, and measure material decay time to less than 50 volts and less than 10 volts.

A Helping Hand for Ionizer Analysis!

This fixture is designed to easily hold your PFM-711B Field Meter, your CPM-720B Charge Plate Monitor your PDT-740B Static Decay Timer. Lightweight, this instrument holder will facilitate balancing your ionizer, by holding all instruments in 1 hand.
