ST030 Specifications and Installation
![]()
1. Mount the AEI-ST030 in a
convenient place on the workbench using the velcro supplied with the
unit or the optional mounting bracket. Mount the operator pads
on either side of the workbench to keep them out of the way.
2. Plug the power adaptor
into the ST-030 and into a grounded outlet. Both LEDs should
turn red and the buzzer should sound. The ground in the outlet
is an important part of the system and should also be connected to
the ESD common point ground. The outlet and the common point
ground can be located at any convenient place on the workbench.
3. Plug the bench cable into
the back of the unit and connect it to the bench mat. It should
be connected to the opposite side of the mat from the mat ground
connection. The BENCH LED should turn green.
NOTE: The 020 and 030 series
monitors are designed to work in the static conductive range of
matting but work well with static dissipative tri layer
matting (like our and
UltraComfort or
UltraTough) or dual layer matting with a conductive bottom layer
and static dissipative top layer (like our
ElectraTherm ESD rubber matting). If using tri layer static
dissipative matting the unit (and ground connection from the
matting) must make contact with the conductive
inner layer of the esd mat. To insure this contact use either our
push
and cinch or mat snap kit. Many customers hardwire the bench
cable to the fastener (the unit is supplied standard with an
alligator attachment) or use the optional
snap attachment available at a cost of . . .
4. Plug wrist straps into
the operator pads. The OPERATOR LED should
turn green when you put on the wrist straps. If it doesn't, touch the wrist strap to the common
point ground. If the OPERATOR LED turns green then the wrist
strap was not making good contact with the Operators wrist.
Note: A calibration / test
unit is available for the ST-030. Simply plug the ground cable
into the common point ground and the operator cable into the
OPERATOR input. The LED should be red. It should be
Green when you press the "test" button.
