Overview

Measures Offset Voltage and Charge Decay
The PFK-105 Ionization Test Kit is a convenient kit that includes the PFM-711B Field Meter, CPM-720B Charge Plate Monitor, the PCS-730B ±1 kV Charger and PDT-740B Static Decay Timer for measuring the perofrmance of ionizers in the area of use. Included with the kit a lightweight fixture allowing to combine the Field Meter, Charge Plate and Decay Timer into one hand-held unit, making it easier to measure the offset voltage and discharge times of your ionizers.

Meter for Testing of Electrostatic Fields
The hand-held PFM-711B Fieldmeter is an instrument used to perform static surveys and polarity on objects with accuracy of ±5% at ambient conditions (23ºC and 30%Rh). This stabilized chopper can be used in environments with a presence of ionization without drifting. The Hold button allows the field meter to hold the measurement for easy recording. It also features automatic polarity indication, low battery indicator, high and low ranges, distance ranging lights for accurate and repeatable measurements, a Zero control button and a ground snap. The PFM-711B includes two ranges of operation:

0 to 1,999V in 1 Volt increments with <±5% error

0 to 20,000V in 10 Volt increments with <±5% error up to 5kV

The PFM-711B can be used with a X-Y plotter, any analog data-recording devices, or the PGA-710B Autoanalysis System. The analog output provides a 1 volt output corresponding to 10kV, which is independent of the selected meter range and indication.

Charge Plate Monitor allowing you to Measure Ionizers
The CPM-720B Charge Plate Monitor is a conductive plate that attaches to the PFM-711B Field Meter. When attached, the system will allow to balance ionizers per ANSI/ESD SP3.3, voltage or charge generation and voltage suppression analysis.

Apply a Charge of ±1,000 volts
The PCS-730B ±1 kV Electrostatic Charger is used to charge the CPM-720B Charge Plate Monitor to ±1,000 volts to measure ionizer decay time as required by both ANSI/ESD S3.1 and ANSI/ESD SP3.3.

The PFM-711B Field Meter, the CPM-720B Charge Plate Monitor and the PCS-730B Charging Source are match calibrated to work together for accurate and efficient auditing.

Measuring Decay Time
The PDT-740B Static Decay Timer is typical of Prostat’s innovative technology and support of professional ESD control managers and auditors.

This unique accessory is designed to measure the decay time of ionizers from ±1,000 volts to less than 100 volts in accordance with ESD Association’s Ionization Standard ANSI/ESD S3.1, and measure material decay time to less than 50 volts and less than 10 volts.

A Helping Hand for Ionizer Analysis!
The PFK-100H fixture is designed to easily hold your PFM-711B Field Meter, your CPM-720B Charge Plate Monitor and your PDT-740B Static Decay Timer. Lightweight, this instrument holder will facilitate balancing your ionizer, by holding all instruments in 1 hand.
