Charge plate set CPS for ionizer monitoring to EN 61340-5-1

The charge plate set CPS upgrades a Safeguard electric field meter into a charge plate monitor, letting you verify the performance of air ionizers directly at the workstation. The charge electrode is charged via an external HV converter, and the integrated start-stop timer records the decay time reproducibly.

Your benefits

• Turns the field meter into a measuring system for ionizer monitoring to DIN EN 61340-5-1 and EOS/ESD S3.1.
• Plate capacitor with a standard-compliant capacitance of 20 pF for decay time measurement.
• Reproducible decay time measurements from +1,000 V to +100 V and from -1,000 V to -100 V.
• Supplied complete in a carry case with battery, charger and grounding accessories.
