Ground Master
SCS 770044 Ground Master Monitor
The SCS Ground Master Monitor is an equipment
ground continuous monitor for metal tools. It
continuously monitors the path-to-ground impedance
and electromagnetic integrity of eight metal ground
connections of process tools in work areas. This
includes semiconductor, disk drive, flat panel, and
electronic equipment manufacturing environments. The
monitor provides both visual and audible alarms and
includes fuse protection for each channel.
The Ground Master Monitor continuously monitors eight
metal tools for electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI
can cause equipment lockups and malfunction. The
Ground Master Monitor will alarm if EMI is detected.
Each Ground Master Monitor is calibrated with accepted
procedures and standards traceable to the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
The Ground Master Monitor meets the Continuous
Monitor requirements of ANSI/ESD S20.20
in accordance with ESD TR53.
