ELECTROSTSTIC FIELDMETER
OPERATION MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing our electrostatic field meter.
Please carefully read this manual before operating the system.
Store this manual in a safe, easily accessible place for future
reference.

Note:
* Please accord to the “note”for preventing the meter from
damage.
* Please not hit the sensor part.
* Please not wet the meter and not use the meter with wet
hands.
* Please use the original partswhen replacing the fittings.
* Please turn off the power supply when finishing using and
take out the battery when not using in a period of time.
1.Summary
This electrostatic field meter is a special meter for testing the
static and can test the ion balance. It can test quickly and
effectively the static with untouched sensor, such as plastic,
chemical fiber, pelage and the static of the body and so on.

Product instruction
2 The meter cannot run when the voltage is lower. And in the
testing process, the meter sounds firstly and turns off
automatically. At the moment, it must replace a new battery.
3 Replace a new battery: move the lid and take out the valid
battery. And then replace a new battery (refer to the picture).
Note: * The meter can work about 12 hours continually
when using a new battery. And please turn off the
power supply when not using.
* Do not replace the new battery in the testing process
for protecting the meter from being damage.

when it is necessary to keep the testing value or maximal
value.
7 Press “POWER”key to turn off the meter when finishing the
test.
Note:
* The measure precise is correlative with the measure
distance between the sensor induces and the back testing
board. So the ion balance testing board must be inserted
to the setting position.
* Do not touch the ion balance testing board when testing or
else the voltage in the front testing board will be
eliminated.
5. Replace the battery
1 means the voltage is full，means the voltage is
enough，means the voltage is not enough，means the
voltage is near to end.

1 Insert the ion balance testing plate to the notch (refer to the
picture) and it must insert to the end.
2 Press “POWER”key to select the working mode and press
“STATIC/IB”key into the ion balance testing process after the
static testing state.
3 connect the front testing plate to the “ground of the meter”and
zero if the displaying value is not zero (refer to the 4.2).
4 connect the “ground of the meter”to the grounding of the
Static Eliminator device.

5 the Static Eliminator device such as ionic air blower and keep
some distance to test the ion balance.
When it is necessary to keep the testing value or maximal
value.
6 Press “power”key to turn off the meter when finishing the test.
Note: the measure precise is correlative with the measure
distance (25mm). When the “+”is more clearer and
the measure distance is more nearer 25mm.

1 Press “power”key to select the working mode and then go into
the static testing process.
2 Ground the meter.
3 Avoid objects with electricity and then zero if the display is not
zero value (refer to the 4.2).
4 The front part of the meter is parallel to the tested object about
25mm and the displaying value on the LCD is the static value
carried by the tested object. The measure distance is about
25mm when seeing a clear red “+”on the tested object.
5 Press “HOLD/MAX”key into hold process or max process

MAX: keep the current maximal value until testing more bigger
value. In max process, lock the functions of “STATIC /
IB”and “ZERO”until exiting the MAX process.
ENTER: press “HOLD/MAX”key until display “MAX”
to max process.
EXIT: press “HOLD/MAX”key to exit the max
process (without display “MAX”).

4.2 Zero
Note:
1) Ground of the meter: default 0 of the meter
*The grounding line is “Ground of the meter”when insert it
into the grounding hole of the meter.
*The surface is ESD and it is “Ground of the meter”.
2) Conductor: the resistance of the meter is high and the body,
water, wet some things, earth and some wall are conductors.
3) Grounding: ground to the earth.
Grounding of the meter: connect the “Ground of the meter”
with the grounded things. The grounded thing is connecting to
the earth. For example: some wall and bricks, some chairs and
body wearing antistatic footwear and so on.
1 The meter must be zeroed before testing the static and the ion
balance.
2 The zeroed methods of the static testing:
* Grounding first and then press “ZERO”key about two
seconds and test the grounding things to zero. After
un-pressing the key, the meter sounds and displays 0 if

zeroing successfully.
* Grounding first and then press “ZERO”key about two
seconds and avoid objects with electricity to zero. After
un-pressing the key, the meter sounds and displays 0 if
zeroing successfully.
* Connect the conductor to the “Ground of the meter”first
and then press “ZERO”key about two seconds and test the
conductor to zero. After un-pressing the key, the meter
sounds and displays 0 if zeroing successfully.
Forexample: one hand handholds the meterand put the
other hand as conductor in front of the meter to zero.
3 The zeroed method of the ion balance testing:
Insert the ion balance testing plate firstly and then connect the
“front testing plate”to the “Ground of the meter”. Press
“ZERO”key about two seconds to zero. After un-pressing the
key, the meter sounds and displays 0 if zeroing successfully.
4.3 switch between the static testing and the
ion balance testing
1 the meter runs into the static testing after switching on the
power supply.
2 press “STATIC/IB”key to the ion balance testing (display
“IB”).
3 press “STATIC/IB”key again to return to the static testing.
4 press “STATIC/IB”key again to the ion balance testing.
4.4 HOLD/MAX
HOLD: keep the current testing value for recording it. And
lock the functions of “STATIC /IB”and “ZERO”until
exiting the HOLD process.
ENTER: press “HOLD/MAX”key (less than 1.5s) to
hold process (display “HOLD”after
un-press the key).
EXIT: press “HOLD/MAX”key to exit the hold
process (without display “HOLD”).
