SCS 773 Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor Description The SCS 773 Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor can be used in work areas or other locations to monitor the ground impedance of metal ground connection in process tools including but not limited to semiconductor, disk drive, flat panel and electronic equipment manufacturing environments. Ground impedance monitoring can be used for up to two points for metal ground, such as within a tool. The Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor can be used to monitor the impedanceto-ground and voltage level on two persons wearing dual-wire wrist straps. The unit incorporates green and red LEDs and an audible alarm, as well as an output logic signal to a host equipment. Ground Impedance Monitor – Continuously monitors for ground impedance on one or two separate channels that are connected to one or two process tools. The alarm level is set the same for all channels. Output Signal – An output signal is available for connecting to the tool’s computer or PLC. The 5V signal is either logic 1 or 0 for indicating the monitored ground resistance/impedance conditions and for the wrist strap. Operator Connection – The Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor provides continuous monitoring of operator connection to the monitor via loop resistance check of operator’s physical presence using a dual wire wrist strap. Voltage on Person Wrist Strap Monitor – The Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor has one additional feature that allows continuous monitoring for excessive voltage on each operator.

Rear view of Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor AC/DC Adapter Connection Connect the circular plug of the power adapter into the power jack on the back of the unit. Mounting Determine the mounting location of the Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor. Attach the unit using one of the following recommended methods: • • Screws Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener Note: The unit can be mounted upside down from the current orientation of the front and back covers. If you wish to change the orientation, rotate the printed circuit board and covers 180 degrees. This will allow the unit housing to be mounted from the wider plate with screw slots. Operation Ground Impedance Alarm Level Use the set switch and select through a combination of LED patterns on the front of the monitor to set the alarm level. The alarm level can be set to 1-10 ohms in 1 ohm increments. It can also be set to 10-20 ohms in 2 ohm increments. The two monitoring lines are set to the same selected impedance value. If the measured impedance on a line is lower than the setting, a green LED will remain illuminated for that line(s). If the impedance is higher than the preset level, a red LED and audible alarm are activated for that line(s). Their alarm duration will be on momentarily to prevent missing a short increased resistance event. If the impedance level remains above the preset alarm level, the red LED and audible sound remains on. Note: A wire must be attached from the SCS Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor (GND terminal) to an approved ground point to monitor the grounding of process tools correctly. Output Signal Level The output connector provides a logic 1 (+5V) when all grounds are within the limits and the unit is powered on. The output connector provides a logic 0 (0V) if any of the monitored grounds or wrist strap fail or power to the unit is lost. Person Voltage and Resistance Monitor The alarm level is monitored when a person is wearing a dual conductor wrist strap assembly and plugged into the front jack. There is a short hold on the body voltage alarm so that it is not missed. The unit will respond to either a positive or negative voltage. The alarm is activated when the wrist strap is worn too loosely and the loop resistance level is exceeded. The red LED indicates the resistance limit without a voltage being generated on the person at the same time. The green LED indicates a proper connection of the operator. A green LED plus a blinking red LED will indicate if there is a body voltage generated; the operator may still be connected properly. The green LED is off when a dual conductor ground cord is not plugged into the jack. Enabling and Disabling Audible Alarm The audible alarm can be enabled or disabled by momentarily pressing a recessed miniature push-button “Set” switch located on the back of the unit while the monitor’s power is on. Use a paper clip to press the switch. One short beep on power up means that the sound is disabled. A series of two short beeps means that the sound is enabled. Enabling or Disabling Monitoring of Ground Lines In some instances, both of the two ground points in the tool do not need to be monitored. This procedure will set up the number of ground lines (G1, G2) that will be used, so that there is no need to put jumpers or shunts on the unused ground monitoring inputs. The AC Adapter should not be plugged in at this time. • • • • Attach the “GND” line to ground. Attach the monitor line(s) (G1, G2) to the ground that has been determined to use. Do not plug any wires into those ground monitor inputs that will be unused. Press and hold the “Set” button using the end of a paper clip. While the button is pressed inward, plug in the AC Adapter and then release the “Set” button. Wait then for ~30 seconds. The SCS Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor will beep during this time. After this, it will produce one beep and will automatically disable the lines to which nothing was connected. You can repeat this procedure whenever a change in monitoring of the number of ground lines is required. Setting Impedance Alarm Levels By default, the SCS Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor is set at the factory to 10 ohms alarm level. If you wish to change the alarm level to your specifications, follow this procedure to set the impedance alarm level for all channels (G1, G2). • • • Repeat the steps above in Enabling or Disabling Monitoring of Ground Lines section. Right after the beeping stops, continue pressing the “Set” button until the impedance level is matched. When the beeping stops, the left four LEDs allow for setting of resistance value. G1 & G2 red LEDs are upper location and G1 & G2 green LEDs are lower. Select the ground resistance value by repeatedly SCS - 926 JR Industrial Drive, Sanford, NC 27332 • (919) 718-0000 • Website: StaticControl.com TB-9029 Page 2 of 6 © 2023 DESCO INDUSTRIES, INC.

Do not press the “Set” switch for about seven seconds. The new limit will be saved and normal operation will start. 14 16 Using the LEDs to Set the Resistance Alarm Level Resistance LED (Ohms) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 18 20 Calibration Equipment Required For this test, the SCS Wrist Strap and Ground Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor should be disconnected from the monitored grounds. Use the SCS CTE701 Workstation Monitor Checker. Connect the ground input of the checker to the ground terminal of the Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor. Set the checker to a proper resistance alarm level (see the CTE701 User Guide). Connect the red tip of the checker to the ground monitoring terminal (i.e. G1, or G2). Press the Fail button on the checker. The red LED of the corresponding ground of the monitor should remain on. Press the Pass button on the checker – the corresponding light on the monitor should be green. Repeat these steps for all enabled ground monitoring inputs. The checker verifies the proper operation of dual wrist strap monitoring. Connect a 3.5 mm test cable to both the checker and to the operator jack of the monitor. At this point the monitor should indicate failure. Depress the Pass button on the wrist strap section. The monitor should indicate a good connection. While pressing the Pass button, press body voltage “high.” At this point the Wrist Strap LED would be blinking red. 9 10 12 Figure 3.

Be sure to connect the monitoring inputs to different physical locations than those points used for their grounding. Person Voltage and Resistance Monitor Plug the dual conductor ground cord of the wrist strap into the jack on the front of the unit. If the wrist strap is worn properly, a green LED will come on; otherwise red LED will be on. In order to provide good ground connection, the wrist strap must be worn tightly and the green light on the SCS Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor is an indication of that. If for whatever reason, while properly connected, the operator developed excessive body voltage (in excess of ± 2.5 Volts in any polarity), the green LED may still be on, but the red LED will blink without alarm sound. No LED is on if a dual conductor ground cord is not plugged into the jack. Maintenance Replacement and Removing Input Wrist Strap Dual Conductor Input Jack If the wrist strap input jack begins to show wear after heavy usage, the input jack can be replaced by ordering the SCS CTA252 Replacement Wrist Strap Jacks. Remove the input jack in the unit by removing the locking collar and two screws on front cover. Slide the printed circuit board outside of the unit and unplug the pin connector with input jack board. Plug in new input jack board assembly and carefully slide the board back into the housing. Replace front cover and locking collar on the input jack.
