New
Features Improve 3M Workstation Monitor
London, Ontario….Several
new features enable the 3M 724 Workstation Monitor to increase
productivity and versatility for its users, especially those
on assembly lines. The dual workstation is improved with the
addition of a slide switch to set the applied voltage to 9
or 16 volts, a slide switch to set the loop resistance to
10 or 35 megohms, the ability to connect a third wire ground,
a unique sounding alarm for each alarm condition, and a quick
connect/ disconnect dual remote jack.
The 724 workstation monitor continuously checks
the resistance of two operators and the work-surface ground
connection. The monitor uses a reliable resistance method
that includes the operator's skin resistance to determine
if the system is operating properly.
Workstation monitoring provides instant notification
of static control equipment failure at an ESD workstation,
resulting in improved product reliability and eliminating
costly audits and record keeping. The 3M 2300 Series Dual
Conductor Wrist Straps are used in conjunction with the 724
workstation monitor.
The 724 workstation monitor is manufactured
in an ISO 9002 registered facility and shipped with a certificate
of conformance.
