Figure 1. SCS 718 Static Sensor
Description
The SCS Static Sensor indicates surface voltage and
polarity on objects. The meter can measure ranges of
0 to ±1.999 kV or 0 to ±19.99 kV at a distance of 1 inch
with an accuracy of ±5% of the displayed value. The
automatic zero button allows adjustment to zero with no
screws or dials to turn. The hold button allows the user
to "freeze" a displayed measurement for evaluation. A
LED range finder helps the operator to place the Static
Sensor at the correct distance from the surface being
measured. The Static Sensor will automatically turn off
after 20 minutes to conserve battery power (9V). The
Static Sensor is calibrated with accepted procedures
and standards traceable to the National Institute of
Standards and Technology.

"When any object becomes electrostatically charged,
there is an electrostatic field associated with that charge.
If an ESDS (ESD sensitive) device is placed in that
electrostatic field, a voltage may be induced on the
device. If the device is then momentarily grounded, a
transfer of charge from the device occurs as a CDM
(Charged Device Model) event. If the device is removed
from the region of the electrostatic field and grounded
again, a second CDM event will occur as charge (of
opposite polarity from the first event) is transferred from
the device." (Handbook ESD TR20.20 section 2.7.5 Field
Induced Discharges)
