Hand-Held electrostatic voltage meter(ESVM)

  • Product No:523
  • Manufacturer:Trek, Inc. 

Model 523 (±20kV) Hand-Held Electrostatic Voltmeters provide accurate, noncontacting measurements of electrostatic surface voltage for ESD applications in either ionized or non-ionized environments.

These two voltmeters utilize a measurement technique that overcomes the disadvantage of the typical hand-held field-meter by providing surface voltage measurements which are essentially independent of the sensor probe-tomeasured surface spacing.

Accurately measures surface voltage at a wide range of spacings

No need to maintain a fixed spacing

Chopper stabilized for drift-free operation in ionized environments

NIST-traceable Certificate of Calibration provided with each unit

CE compliant
