Dual Conductor Workstation Monitor
The Ohm Metrics CM1600* dual conductor workstation monitor continuously checks two (2) operators and two(2) work surface ground connections. When a per-son is wearing a wrist strap, the monitor observes the resistance of the loop, consisting of a wire, a person, a wrist-band, and a second wire. If any part of the loop should open (become disconnected or have out of limit resistance), the circuit will go into the alarm state. An important feature of the Dual Wire Wrist Strap is that even if one conductor is severed, the op-erator has reliable path-to-ground with other wire. The CM1600 packaged in a stainless steel case with remote jacks.

The CM1600 is an extremely sensitive and reliable ground monitoring instrument. Audible and visible alarms are triggered if the operator’s resistance exceeds 35 megohm (factory default). Low resistance can also triggers an alarm event. Mat alarm limits are set at 100 meg ohm.

Meets or exceeds requirements of ANSI ESD-S20.20 and ESDA Standard 1.1-2006
