IMPORTANT NOTE
In order to maintain proper operation of the floating plate, it is essential
that the support insulators be kept scrupulously clean. Consider the
following:
Do not touch or handle the insulators.
Do not wrap the line cord around the insulators.
Store the instrument in its protective case when not in use. Store in a clean
dry location.
Clean the insulators according to the directions given in the MAINTENANCE
section when self-discharge exceeds 10% of the set voltage within 5 minutes
at relative humidity of less than 50%. At high humidity surface leakage
currents increase and air ionizes readily and self-decay time can be expected
to decrease regardless of how clean the insulators are.
The Charged Plate Analyzer Model 268A meets test equipment requirements of
the EOS/ESD Association’s EOS/ESD STANDARD NO. 3.1 “STANDARD FOR
PROTECTION OF ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SUSCEPTIBLE ITEMS:
IONIZATION”.
Monroe Electronics, Inc. does not supply copies of standards.
