This static eld meter includes the following parts.
Please check whether the following parts are
complete and in good condition. If any damage is
found, please contact us.
This static eld meter is an instrument especially made for the detection of static electricity, but it can also be used for ion
balance test.
A new type of contactless surface sensor is used in the static eld measurement, which can effectively detect the static
electricity carried by objects such as plastics, chemical ber, fur or human body.
This static eld meter is simple to use and easy to carry. It is an indispensable tool in the anti-static processes and
electrostatic treatment.

±20~ ±60 kV displayed with 1 decimal place, unit: kV
Ion balance mode display : 0~ ±200V, unit : V
Sound alarm
When power is on, it will ring once. During automatic shut-down, one short
sound per second within 5 seconds.
When exceeding the measuring range, there will be a continuous sound
alarm.
Automatic shut-down Power will turn off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Communication protocol CAN communication (optional RS485 communication function)
Operating environment 0-40°C, 0-60% RH (no freezing or condensation)
Power supply 9V alkaline battery
Operating time Maximum operating time is approximately 20 hours.
Dimensions 123x70.4x21.5mm
Weight Approximately 147g
Shell material Antistatic resin (ABS + PC), black
4

Note: The electrostatic potential mode depends on two infrared lamps focusing to calibrate the detection distance.
The connection network port is only to be connected
to a programmable logic controller (PLC), for
the controlling or regulation of a machine or
installation.
Note :
(1) The operating voltage of
the external power supply
is DC9-12V. If the external
power supply is used, the
DC9V alkaline battery must
be remove.
(2) When the CAN
communication is used to
issue the command to read
the static voltage value, the
green light of the network
port will ash.
(3) Use the external power
supply and press the power
button of the measurer.
When the measurer is
on, the yellow light of the
network port is always on.

4.4. OPERATION METHOD
When starting up, press the power button for 3 seconds
and the back of the display screen will enlighten. Press
the button for another 3 seconds and the background will
turn off.
1- Press the power button to turn on the measurer, the
status indicator light is on, the green light indicator is on,
the sound alarm rang once and the content is displayed
on the screen.
Press the HOLD key button briey so the displayed value
returns to zero.
Place the measurer at a distance of two infrared lamps from the object to be measured and then, focus on it (the red
LEDs must be overlapping each other – approx. 5cm from the surface to measure) and read the measured value on the
display screen.

5. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Sufcient battery
Quite sufcient battery
Weak battery
Empty battery
When the battery power is insufcient, the static
eld meter cannot start normally. When it is
operating but the battery is low, the screen will
ash and then turn off automatically. At that
point, the battery needs to be replaced before
the measurer can work properly again.
Battery replacement: remove the battery cover
at the back of the static eld meter, remove
the old battery from the buckle, fasten the new
battery, put it back into place and replace the
cover.
Note: Please turn off the power when not in
use. Do not replace the battery when the static
eld meter is working to avoid any damage to
the device.
