Changing the Static Voltage Parameters
1. At the main screen display (no “REF” symbol), move the joystick until the display
is as shown above.
2. To reset the over-threshold counter to zero, press the joystick momentarily.
3. To change the voltage range and thresholds, push the joystick longer until a new
screen appears. The new screen shows a “REF” symbol at the right top corner.
4. Move the joystick up or down to scroll on the voltage range options.
5. Move the joystick left or right to decrease or increase the static voltage threshold.
6. To finalize the settings, push the joystick longer until the screen shows the main
static voltage screen.
Application note: Measuring/Detecting Static Voltage
Rub an insulative material against your garment and bring it just above the antenna. Observe the
numbers displayed on the 3M
™
EM Aware TNG ESD Event Monitor screen. The voltage peaks will
coincide with alarms on the EM Aware TNG monitor. The EM Aware TNG monitor sounds an alarm
when it detects a peak voltage exceeding the preset threshold voltage. It is now ready to detect static
voltages around the antenna. On electronic manufacturing lines, locate the antenna closest to where
the suspect static voltage is being generated. Once the EM Aware TNG monitor sounds the alarm,
take precautions (i.e. removing insulative materials at the vicinity).
