Getting Started
In the StatIQ Band box you will nd
•The StatIQ Band, with hook-and-loop arm strap
•A Zero Disc for rapid, one-handed zeroing of the StatIQ Band
•A USB-C charging cable
•A Quickstart Guide
•A Calibration Certicate for your StatIQ Band
Charging
Before you begin using the StatIQ Band, make sure the battery is fully charged. To
charge the battery:
1. Locate the USB-C charging port on the bottom edge of the device.
2. Plug the provided charging cable into any USB power source.
3. While charging, the Charging LED will be amber.
4. When the Band is fully charged, the charging LED will turn green.
5. The Band may take as long as an hour to charge, if completely at.
6. The battery life of the Band in use is 12-16 hours.
Sensor Protection
On delivery, the sensor will be
covered by a removable sticker.
Take this sticker off before
using the device. Do not stick
your ngers or other objects
into the sensor port, ever.
Doing so may lead to damage
or contamination of the sensor,
which is not covered under the
warranty.

Operation
These pictures show the arrangement of the Band’s indicators and button.
Wearing the StatIQ Band
Secure the StatIQ Band around your upper arm in the orientation shown, ensuring
that the sensor is unobscured and pointed away from your body. The band should
be as high up your arm as possible.
Make sure to wear conductive or static
dissipative clothing such as an ESD rated
smock. Synthetic clothing will hold localized
charge that results in an offset in the voltage
measurement and undetected ESD events.
Ensure that you can see the three LEDs on the
upper edge of the device (the Mode, Body
Voltage and Bluetooth LEDs), and that the gold
sensor is situated above the Power/ Mode
button and the IONA logo.
Fasten the hook-and-loop strap just tightly
enough that the Band does not slip down your
arm, but not so tight as to be uncomfortable.
You may need to stretch your sleeve towards your hand before tightening the strap,
to ensure there are no folds of clothing covering the sensor.

Turning the StatIQ Band ON
Hold the Power/Mode button until the StatIQ Band turns ON. A similar press will
turn the StatIQ Band OFF.
The eld mill sensor will begin spinning and the device is now measuring the local
electric eld. If secured to your arm, this measurement represents an accurate
measure of your body voltage.
The Body Voltage LED indicates whether you are charged positive (red) or negative
(blue) and its brightness indicates the measured voltage relative to the alarm
threshold (discussed later).
Body voltage LED:
Red = Positive body voltage. Voltage below threshold
Blue = Negative body voltage. Voltage below threshold
Changing Alarm Modes
A short press of the Power/Mode Button will switch the band between the Muted
and Audible modes.
Power/Mode LED:
Yellow = device muted.
Green = audible alarms enabled.
The Power/Mode LED is visible both on the top edge of the StatIQ Band as well as
on the lid next to the Power/Mode Button.
Audible Alarms
Constant alarm = body voltage past threshold (only if audible alarms enabled)
Three quick beeps = ESD event detected (only if audible alarms and ESD Event
Detection enabled).
Single beep with Orange Power/Mode LED ash = low battery.
Four beeps with Red Power/Mode LED ash = empty battery, device powers off.
Continuous quick beeps with Red Power/Mode LED ash = shutter malfunction
(see Troubleshooting section).

Default Settings
The StatIQ Band is intended to be usable out of the box, with no conguration
necessary. It is calibrated and zeroed in production. The default settings are:
Audible Alarms – muted (to be changed by pushing the Power/Mode button)
Alarm Threshold – ±1000V
Alarm Volume – 50%
ESD Event Detection – Enabled

IONA Tech App
Download the IONA Tech App from the App Store or
Google Play Store to visualize the measured voltage data,
change device parameters, and more.
Pairing a Device
When you start the app, the following screen appears.
Select the Device that matches the address printed on
the label on the side of your StatIQ Band.
Note that when a device is paired with one app, it
cannot at the same time pair with another app on
another phone or PC.
The Bluetooth LED on the top edge of the StatIQ Band
will illuminate blue when the device is connected to an
app.

StatIQ Band Data
Once you have paired with a device, the app will display
a real time graph of the voltage and events from that
device.
ESD Events will display on the graph as red dots, where
the position on the y-axis represents the voltage
change of the discharge.
Change the time scale above the graph to assess
various lengths of voltage data.
Select ‘Record Session’ to generate a CSV le of the
voltage and ESD data from the session. The le will be
generated in the Documents folder of your phone:
1. When you press ‘Save Recording’
2. If you close the connection by returning to the
Device List screen
3. If the connection is lost because the StatIQ Band
is turned off or if it goes out of range.
Device Conguration
Select the Gear icon on the previous page to adjust the
following options:
1. Voltage Threshold – the body voltage at which
the alarm will sound (the level is the same for
positive and negative voltage deviations).
2. Alarms Audible – checking this box changes the
device mode from Muted to Audible. The mode
can still also be changed by the Power/Mode
button on the device.
3. Alarm Volume – adjusts the alarm volume.
4. ESD Event Detection – checking this box
ensures that the StatIQ Band detects ESD
discharge events. Note that an audible alarm will
sound for ESD events only if Alarms are set to
Audible.

the home screen of the phone. The Band can be unpaired by clicking “change
device” or pressing the back arrow from the voltage screen. A conrmation dialog
will appear before the connection is closed.
