Features:

The Trek® 156A Charge Plate Monitor is designed to evaluate ionizer performance by measuring decay time and ion balance using a pre-charged floating plate. It provides precise and reliable testing for ESD-sensitive environments and critical manufacturing processes.
• Measures ionizer efficiency through decay time testing of charged plates
• Evaluates ion balance by detecting offset voltage from ion imbalance
• Customizable measurement capacitance for compliance with ANSI/ESD STM3.1 and IEC 61340-5-1
• Extremely low offset and drift for high-accuracy measurements
• Compact and lightweight design for easy portability
• NIST-traceable calibration certificate included
