USER GUIDE TB-9102 WS Aware Monitor Installation, Operation and Maintenance Made in the United States of America The WS Aware Monitor is designed with digital signal processing technology for true continuous monitoring (versus pulsed or intermittent) of wrist strap functionality (path-to-ground and presence of 1 megohm resistor) and operator safety according to accepted industry standards without capacitance variations from personnel or environment. Digital signal processing technology uses dual-wire wrist straps to apply an ultra-low test voltage of 0.05V onto the operator for the handling of sensitive components. The WS Aware Monitor features operator body voltage detection. It will alarm if the operator comes in contact with voltage that would be dangerous to an ESD susceptible item. The WS Aware Monitor continuously monitors two metal Figure 1. SCS 770067 WS Aware Monitor with Standard tools for electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI can Remotes cause equipment lockups and malfunction. The WS Aware Monitor will alarm if EMI is detected. Each WS Aware Monitor is calibrated with accepted procedures and standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and includes a certificate of calibration. ANSI/ESD S20.20 section 7.3 states Compliance verification records shall be established and maintained to provide evidence of conformity to the technical requirements. Per ANSI/ESD S1.1 Annex A.3 Daily (wrist strap system) testing may be omitted if constant monitoring used. Per ESD Handbook ESD TR 20.20 section 5.3.2.4.4 Typical Test programs recommend that wrist straps that are used daily should be tested daily. However, if the products that are being produced are of such value that knowledge of a continuous, reliable ground is needed, and then continuous monitoring should be considered or even required.

SMP continuously monitors your ESD process control system throughout all stages of manufacturing. SMP captures data from SCS workstation, equipment and ESD event continuous monitors and provides a real-time picture of critical manufacturing processes. All activity is stored into a database for on-going quality control purposes. SMP allows you to pinpoint areas of concern and prevent ESD events. Quantifiable data allows you to see trends, become more proactive and prove the efficiency of your ESD process control system. SMP is sold separately. Click here to learn more.
