USER GUIDE TB-9023 EM Eye - ESD Event Meter Installation, Operation and Maintenance Made in the United States of America Figure 2. Using the EM Eye Meter Easy Data Logging to Memory Card The EM Eye Meter supports data logging by using a microSD card and exports to an Excel spreadsheet. Having data at hand enables quick analysis. Solutions can be decided quickly and can be measured on the spot. Figure 1. SCS CTM048-21 EM Eye - ESD Event Meter Description The SCS EM Eye - ESD Event Meter detects, counts and measures ESD events that can damage ESD items and cause tool lock-ups, erratic behavior, and parametric errors. It calculates event magnitude for Charged Device Model (CDM), Human Body Model (HBM), and Machine Model (MM). All measurements are recorded onto a microSD card for PC download. It features a touchscreen display and rechargeable lithium ion battery. Each EM Eye - ESD Event Meter is calibrated with accepted procedures and standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and includes a NIST certificate. User Features Touch Screen to Power ON The EM Eye Meter is designed with a modern user interface. All buttons and controls are within the display itself. With its display and touch screen, it is easier for users to quickly navigate through the features that were built into the meter. Figure 3. Inserting the SD card into the EM Eye Meter Speaker and Headphone Alarm Outputs The EM Eye Meter, with a speaker and headphones, allows flexible means for audible indications, beeping or “warbling” like a radio. If one is in a noisy place, a headphone jack for optional headphones can be used for clearer audio.

RF Cable MicroSD Memory Card Power Adapter, 5VDC, with interchangeable plugs (North America, UK/Asia, Europe) Carrying Case Certificate of Calibration Precautions • • • • • • • Do not drop the meter. This may damage the device and will void the warranty. Do not discharge directly into the antenna metals as it may damage the input sensors and will void the warranty. Be cautious in the placement of antenna and the module heads; align the parts while assembling. Do not use sharp objects to touch the screen. Do not use a wrench or pliers to screw or unscrew the antenna. Use your bare hands. Do not remove the microSD card while the power is on. Turn off the meter before removing the microSD card. Do not remove the sensor heads while the power is on. Turn off the meter before removing and replacing the heads. Attaching the Sensor Heads Keep in mind the following when using the modular sensor heads. BEFORE CONNECTING TO AN INPUT SOURCE, TOUCH THE OUTSIDE SURFACE OF THE EM EYE METER INPUT CONNECTOR. THIS WILL HELP PREVENT ESD SHOCK TO THE METER. 1. The power must be turned off when changing the sensor heads. 2. Make sure to gently plug or unplug EM Eye Meter and the sensor heads. 3. Plug or unplug the sensor heads by firmly gripping them. Then fit the sensor over the EM Eye unit. Do not grab the antenna for plugging and unplugging the sensor heads. 4. If the antenna is separated from the sensor head, reattach it when the sensor head is securely in place. Attaching the Antenna In order to avoid damaging the EM Eye Meter, installation and replacement of the antenna must be done with great care. An excessive amount of force or improper installation may permanently damage the meter. Attach the antenna to the input connector by simply screwing it in by hand. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE CONNECTION. Screw in the antenna firmly but gently. Do not use any tools other than your hand to attach and detach the antenna.

Do not use any other power supply as it may damage the meter. Features and Components Battery Care - Charging for the first time To improve the battery life we recommend that you make three fully charge-discharge cycles. For example: fully charge the meter for two hours or overnight, then use the meter until it is fully discharged (do not recharge it at half-charge-life). Repeat this step two times. It would normally take two hours to fully charge the battery, but since the meter power is on while charging; it would extend the charge time to four hours. Succeeding charging would be at any duration. Use only the supplied charger. Local directional antenna Power On Using your finger, press and hold any spot on the screen for approximately three seconds – do not use any tools to perform this action. If a new sensor was installed, a sequence of initialization will take place for the first time for approximately ten seconds. After that, the switch-on action will take approximately three seconds. The main display screen appears after the initialization and a beep will sound. The EM Eye Meter will then perform a battery check. If the battery is too low to provide reliable operation, it will not turn on. The screen will go white momentarily and then the meter will power up. After the initial power up, the meter will go directly to the main screen.

Position the sensor head so that the dowel pins align with the holes. 2. With the initial head midway through, reposition it so that it is parallel to the body. Press the sensor head firmly against the body until both surfaces are flat with each other. 3. Insert and screw in the antenna making sure that it’s not too tight or too loose. Do not use any tools other than your hand. NOTE: Antenna is not applicable for the RF Signal Sensor. Figure 6. Attaching the sensor module to the EM Eye Meter If the assembly isn’t done correctly, you may receive one of the following error and warning messages. To correct, follow the instructions as indicated within the message. Error Message Reason for Error ERROR: Sensor is disconnected. Click here to turn device off.

This will help you make sound decisions in tackling what may have been a daunting task. The EM Eye Meter detects the magnitude of events and using the filters built into the unit. It can provide approximate values for some ESD Events for models (CDM, MM, HBM) using proprietary algorithms. Switching between any of the modes will give you immediate data analysis. Solving ESD problems requires data; a before-and-after analysis of data may now be measured and used to tailor ESD control programs. CDM Mode MM Mode In IC testing, ICs that are sliding through tubes may be charged up. Once the lead touches the metal tracks, a CDM event can occur. A moving, ungrounded cart may accumulate charges in its path. As it approaches a metallic worktable and bumps into it, a discharge may occur and may adversely affect nearby products or instruments In feeder bowls where the ICs are arranged for sorting or orientation, voltages may be induced by the vibrating bowl. In using a bad soldering iron, induced voltages may cause discharges to the components mounted into the PCB. Use grounded tools and confirm that no ESD events will be detected by using the MM mode. HBM Mode In IC testing, operators that are handling an IC (i.e. fixing bent leads) may be discharging through the IC. Raw Input Mode For engineers who want to simply analyze raw ESD signals for further analysis, the Raw Input mode provides actual voltages received by an antenna. During picking up of an IC by a person not properly wearing a wrist strap, use the EM Eye Meter to alarm the operator of such events.

HOLD and MAX The HOLD button toggles the HOLD data and MAX data sequentially. HOLD freezes the current data on the display. The instrument will not be active at this point. MAX displays the maximum voltages detected by the EM Eye Meter above the set threshold. Pressing the HOLD button for the third time will disable the HOLD and MAX function and returns to normal run mode. HOLD and MAX does not affect recording into memory storage. Data is still being recorded even if HOLD and MAX is active. Figure 10. Using the Hold button TIME To set the time, press the battery icon. The NAVIGATOR screen appears. Press the left or right arrows to move the shaded area that need to be changed. Figure 8. ESD Event Sensor displays and controls Common Display and Controls POWER and CLEAR The POWER C button turns off the SCS EM Eye Meter or clears the values that are on display. To turn off the meter, press and hold the POWER C button for approximately four seconds or longer until the meter goes off. Press the up or down button to scroll and set the numbers. Press the center button to return to the main screen. Time: AM/PM format or 24-hour format Date: Format as MM/DD/YY Mode: 12-hour, 24-hour format To reset all of the values on the display, press the POWER C button for approximately one second.
