ESD Audit Kit Professional for resistance, field and body voltage - A1-ESD EP0201045

Complete ESD audit system for resistance, field and body voltage

The A1-ESD ESD Audit Kit Professional is a fully equipped audit system for the standard-compliant verification of ESD Protected Areas (EPAs). It combines the high-precision TERA-Ohmmeter EP-TOM8600-ME for resistance measurement, the EP-EFM823 electrostatic field meter with analog output, a charge-plate set for evaluating ionizers, and a walking-test (body-voltage) setup according to IEC 61340-4-5. Its extensive accessory package makes it a complete solution for ESD coordinators and test service providers who want to capture every relevant EPA parameter with a single system.

Key benefits

• Three measuring principles in one system: resistance, electrostatic field and body voltage (walking test).
• Ionizer evaluation: integrated charge-plate set with HV generator for measuring ionizer effectiveness.
• Standard-compliant and documentable: adjustable measuring time for IEC, EN, DIN and VDE; KL-ReadOut PC software for analysis and audit reports.
• Extensive accessories: test equipment for grounding, surfaces and sockets included in the case.

Technical highlights of the measuring devices
