THEORY OF OPERATION
•
The part(s) to be detected are subjected to a high voltage electrostatic charge.
•
The control unit circuitry measures the amount of energy required to charge the part during the charging time select-
ed, and compares that value with an installation specific pre-set “window”.
•
If the reading falls within the end user determined pre-set setpoint, the part passes the ground test.
