General information of the principle of electrostatics General information of the principle of electrostatics Electrostatic discharging is a today problem on many working places with the use of modern micro-electronics as e.g. Microchips and their sensibility against it. There is also a very strong danger for industrial branches as e.g. Telecommunication-, Plastics-, and manufactures of explosives.

Calibration Zero adjust First put on the red cap onto the modulator system. Then press in the EFM115_ReadOut Software the “Zero Adjust” button. If an error message appears, you should make a Zero adjust by the potentiometer (4) on back of the unit. Adjust the measure value < 50mV and press the “ok” button at the software.

Grounding Grounding The appliance must be grounded to get real measuring results. You can connect ground by the 4mm socket on the back. Maintenance Don´t touch the modulator system! Time by time the modulator-system needs to be cleaned and a new offset – adjustment with shielded field-plate is necessary.
