What is an ESD monitoring system?

An ESD monitoring system is a device used to detect and prevent electrostatic discharges, ensuring the protection of sensitive electronic equipment.

Why is ESD protection important?

ESD protection is important to prevent damage to electronic components, ensure product reliability, and maintain workplace safety.

How do ESD monitoring systems work?

ESD monitoring systems work by continuously measuring the static charge levels in a given area and alerting users to potential discharge risks.

What types of ESD monitoring systems are available?

Types of ESD monitoring systems include wrist strap monitors, workstation monitors, and overhead ionizers, each designed for specific environments.

Who needs ESD monitoring systems?

ESD monitoring systems are essential for electronics manufacturers, laboratories, and any facility handling sensitive electronic components.

Can ESD damage be prevented?

Yes, ESD damage can be prevented through proper grounding, using ESD-safe materials, and implementing effective monitoring systems.

Where can I buy ESD monitoring systems?

ESD monitoring systems can be purchased from specialized equipment providers, such as those offering ESD protection solutions online.

ESD Continuous Monitors

ESD Measuring

ESD continuous monitors verify in real time that personnel grounding and workstation equipment remain correctly earthed, triggering an alarm before any fault leads to component damage. The range extends from the single-station Multi-Mount monitor (DESCO 19652) through dual-operator systems (DESCO 99095, 220 V, 10-mm snap) to the network-capable WS Aware (DESCO 770061, Ethernet output). The ESD-Protect PD-60 with eLOGG app and the ESD-PROTECT MultiGround Monitor address modern documentation requirements.

NFC transponders (NTAG 215 round, NTAG 216 On-Metal) and the Safeguard CPS PRO retrofit kit for electrostatic field meters are also available. An alarm unit for Multi-Mount monitors and the SCS 724MO workstation monitor (without power adapter, optional adapter available) complete the programme.
