The CPM-766 is equipped with a Li-ion battery pack that can be recharged through a USB connection. With a battery life of over 250 hours when in standby, it enables you to conduct around 1000 tests on average.
Before You Start Table 1 is a list of the items included with your Charged Plate Monitor. Part No. Description CPM-766 Prostat Charge Plate Monitor • 801B-012 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack • PFP-861LL 72 inch Test Lead, Green • PFA-861H...
CAUTION! The charged plate monitor contains electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS) components and includes precision alignment of circuit elements. Only Prostat trained and qualified instrument repair personnel should perform service. WARNING! To prevent electrical shock, do not touch energized circuits, leads or fixtures while grounded.

Figure 1. Connect the provided charger to an outlet to charge your Charged Plate Monitor Figure 2. Connect the provided USB-C Cable to a computer to charge your Charged Plate Monitor It is recommended to turn off the instrument before plugging in the USB cable or wall charger. Once charging has begun, you may leave the instrument in its off position, or leave it on.
Sleep Mode The instrument automatically enters "Sleep Mode" and blanks the display if there is no function change for 10 minutes, unless the instrument is actively performing a test. Tapping anywhere on the active display awakens the instrument. Touchscreen Display The touchscreen lets you interact directly with what is on the display.

Power The Charged Plate Monitor has 2 options for the power source: • Li-Ion Battery • USB-C Battery Power Source This instrument is battery operated, do not connect with any other utility line. The lithium-ion battery pack is usually already installed when shipped. If you received it separately, you can easily install it inside the battery compartment located at the bottom of the instrument.
• Date (if this was set) • Current Profile The charge plate monitor automatically enters "Sleep Mode" and blanks the display if there is no function change or button press for 10 minutes, unless the instrument is actively making a measurement.
Home Screen The Home screen is the first screen to appear after plugging the battery in and setting the date and time. The Home screen display the Time, Date and the current Profile. To return to the Home screen from any other screens, press the Functions Screen The Functions screen is your primary access to all functions of the Charged Plate Monitor.
Test Setup Two green ground inputs jacks are installed on the instrument. Both are installed on the side panel. The AC adaptor does not provide a ground connection. Grounding the instrument is required to ensure accurate and repeatable measurements. For proper grounding, connect one end of the PFP-861LL Ground Lead to one of the green input jacks on the side panel of the instrument, and plug the other end to a ground reference, using the Q007B Grounding Cube.
Note: Audible indications for critical functions cannot be disabled, such as Low Battery and Error indication. Test Parameters The Test Parameters settings menu is where you set the test parameters for: • Decay Test • Balance Test • Automated Test •...
Include Balance Test. You can elect to include or not include a BALANCE test as part of the cycle for an Automatic Test. If this setting is set to YES, the Automated Test will begin a single Balance Test. The test will then continue with the Decay tests.
Locations. This is where you can name up to 20 locations. This is useful for naming different departments, divisions, or even countries. Areas. This is where you can name each area of test, up to 100 areas. This is useful for naming a particular ionizer, work area or office.
1. From the Functions Screen, tap POSITIVE DECAY or NEGATIVE DECAY. The screen displays a Zeroing Bar. The instrument will ground (zero) the floating plate. When the plate is zero, the display will show the voltage on the plate, which should be close to 0 volt. 2.
5. Tapping CANCEL will abort the test and return to its previous screen. 6. Once the test is completed the screen will display the Plate Voltage, Test Duration, Min/Max Peak Voltages, the Average Voltage, Temperature, Relative Humidity and Location/Area. 7. Tapping SAVE will save the results under the Location and Area selected. 8.
3. Tap the CHARGE + button to charge the plate to +1,250 volts 4. Tap the CHARGE - button to charge the plate to -1,250 volts 5. Tapping EXIT will abort the test and return to its previous screen. 09 PLATE VOLTAGE RETENTION From the Settings, you can choose to verify if the isolated conductive plate retains the test voltage properly.

An analog output jack is provided on the rear panel. The analog output is a BNC jack that can be used to connect the Charged Plate Monitor to an oscilloscope or other suitable devices. 1 volt at this output corresponds to 10 kV. The BNC connector on the rear panel comes with connector cap (766-020) to protect the connector.
The instrument is now ready to communicate with Connect 2.0. Update Firmware Firmware updates are available to add new measurement functions or fix bugs. The up-to-date firmware version is available through the latest Prostat Connect 2.0 available at www.prostatcorp.com. To update firmware: 1.
The case has been sealed and BREAKING THE SEALS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. For complete service, disassembly, repair, and calibration information, contact Prostat or an Authorized Calibration Lab for assistance. • Clean the instrument case with a dry, soft, non-scratching cloth •...
