Operation

When the Multi-Mount Continuous Monitor is installed
to an ESD protective worksurface and grounded via
a power cord, the green WORKSURFACE GROUND
LED and red OPERATOR GROUND LED should be
illuminated. The monitor takes 6 seconds to activate its
alarm circuitry when the operator is first plugged in.
The custom AC adapter connects the outlet ground to
the barrel on the output plug. This is used to supply the
Monitor with ground.
The worksurface resistance is measured between the
two cords installed to the mat worksurface.

USING THE MONITOR

1. Plug a wrist cord into the operator jack on the left-
side of the monitor. This automatically activates the
selected operator channel. The red operator LED
should turn on.
2. Remove the charges from your body by making
contact with a properly grounded ESD worksurface.
Snap the cord to the wristband, and fit it snugly
onto the wrist. This should silence the audio and
cause the LEDs to switch from red to green. If this
does not happen, check the coil cord for continuity
or damage. Examine the wrist strap and confirm
that it has a secure fit. If you have dry skin, apply
an approved dissipative hand lotion such as Menda
35659
Reztore™ ESD Hand Lotion. When leaving
the area, a person can take the coil cord along or
leave it attached to the monitor in park position.
NOTE: Removing the banana plug from the monitor's
operator jack will disable the audio alarm.
It is recommended that you use the Park Snap rather
than continuously removing the banana plug from its
jack. Doing so will increase the life span of the operator
jack. If your process requires the constant insertion and
removal of the banana plug, please contact your Desco
Representative for alternate solutions.

Calibration
Frequency of recalibration should be based on the
critical nature of those ESD sensitive items handled
and the risk of failure for the ESD protective equipment
and materials. In general, Desco recommends that
calibration be performed annually.
Use the Desco
98220
Calibration Unit for Wave
Distortion Monitors to perform periodic verification
(once every 6-12 months) of the Mini Monitor. The
Calibration Unit can be used to check the test limits of
the Multi-Mount Monitor without removing it from the
workstation.
See
TB-2082
for more information.
