Desco Ground Hub Continuous Monitor Integrity

The Desco Ground Hub Continuous Monitor confirms the integrity of the resistance path from the common ground point to electrical ground. It is designed in accordance with ESD TR 12-01 to “monitoring equipment ground connections.”

When the Ground Hub Continuous Monitor is plugged into an AC outlet, the green LED illuminates when both the outlet’s wiring is correct and the path to equipment ground via the equipment grounding conductor is intact. The monitor provides 13 verified ground points when in PASS condition. The red LED illuminates when either the outlet’s wiring is incorrect or the path-to-equipment ground is defective.

Features:

• North American Outlet Monitor (Type B Plug)
  Monitors proper AC outlet wiring and meets the ANSI/ESD S6.1 requirement for verifying wiring orientation
• Six Banana Jacks and Six Screws for #8 Ring Terminals
  Provides numerous groundable points for wrist straps, mats, carts, tools, and other items
• NEW Quick Connect Terminal for #8 Rings
  Provides a verified ground point for mats, carts, tools, and other items. Connect with the 09842 Multi-Ground Hub.
• Visual and Audible Indicators
  Displays pass/fail conditions for the outlet for grounding purposes of an ESD Control Plan
• NIST Calibrated – Original Calibration Certificate can be Downloaded Here
  Calibrated with accepted procedures and standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. For more information on the calibration of Desco products, see Calibration.
• Made in the United States of America
  This item is made and stocked in Chino, CA

The grounding system must be verified periodically at the frequency established in a user defined ESD Control Program Plan. [Grounding ANSI/ESD S6.1 section 6.2 Verification Frequency]

All of the grounding conductors from each of the ESD technical elements (excluding level 2 technical elements) used within an EPA shall be terminated at the same electrically equivalent point. The common point ground may be a terminal strip, bus bar or any other convenient configuration that is, within itself, electrically continuous to no greater than 1 ohm measured from point to point with an ohmmeter. [Grounding ANSI/ESD S6.1 section 5.2.1 Common Point Ground]
