    ™ future reference. Intended Use The Charge Analyzer 711 is intended for use in testing the performance of static control products. This device is designed for use as specified in the operating instructions. It is intended for use in an indoor environment and has not been evaluated for other uses or locations.
  • Page 4 Charge Analyzer 711 housing or power supply are damaged; ™ • Do not attempt to modify or repair – no user serviceable parts inside – contact 3M Service for repair. To reduce the risks associated with fire or explosion: • Do not operate the Charge Analyzer 711 in an explosive environment. The Charge Analyzer 711 is not designed to be intrinsically safe.
  • Page 5: General Function And Description

    The alphanumeric LCD-display is the information center of the Charge Analyzer 711 and allows the user to observe the principles of static protection. The unit’s high accuracy makes it well...
  • Page 6 This feature allows to the user to make measurements by means of a hand-held or fixed position probe in remote locations, where it may be impossible to position the Charge Analyzer 711. Measurement distances with the probe are 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 centimeters. The built-in microprocessor automatically converts the measured field strength via the chosen distance into a charge of an equivalent potential in volts.
