Functions
The WS Aware Workstation Monitor works with dual
wrist straps that have a standard 3.0 mm audio mono
plug. It verifies proper wearing of a wrist strap by
measuring an operator’s resistance.
A charge can be easily developed on a body during
movements. WS Aware Workstation Monitor detects
body voltage and alarms if it exceeds the preset level.
Alarm thresholds for body resistance and body voltage
are set at the factory but can be changed in the field.
Please contact SCS Representatives or authorized
distributors for details.
The WS Aware Workstation Monitor provides
independent monitoring of four grounds – two tool
grounds and two mat grounds. An option for four tool
grounds is also available.
Red LEDs indicate that when wrist strap fails, or when
proximity sensor fails, or when wrist strap is incorrectly
plugged into the visitor’s jack.
Green LEDs indicate that wrist straps are properly
connected and worn.
Tool Ground LEDs (all models):
Tri-color LEDs that
show green when ground impedance is within limits, red
when ground fails, blinking yellow when EMI threshold is
exceeded and off when disabled.
Mat LEDs (CTC061 only):
Dual-color LEDs that show
green when ground resistance is within limits, red when
there is failure and off when disabled.
Ground terminal connect to facility ground.
Ground Enable Switches enable or disable monitoring of
ground. It is also used to adjust the resistance threshold.
Installation
Mounting Instructions
1.
Set your WS Aware Workstation Monitor in a clearly
visible, convenient location where it doesn’t interfere
with your normal work.
2. Secure the wrist strap terminals in easy-to-reach
but out-of-the-way locations, such as fastening
them to the bottom of the workbenches. Since there
are two remote terminals, place each of them in a
convenient place for each operator.
3.
GROUNDING - Ground your WS Aware Workstation
Monitor using the supplied ring terminal and screw
to the grounding terminal on the right side of the WS
Aware Workstation Monitor. You will need a crimping
tool and a desired length of wire. Please make
sure that you connect the other end of the wire to a
known good ground.

Remote Terminals
The WS Aware Workstation Monitor uses two separate
remote terminals, making it convenient for each
operator. A remote terminal is connected by a mini-
DIN 6-pin male/male cable. This cable can be unplugged
making remote terminal easy to replace without rerouting
the cable. Each remote terminal has two 3.0 mm jacks,
one for the operator and another one for a visitor.
While both jacks provide grounding for the wrist straps,
only the operator’s jack is monitored. If the wrist strap is
plugged into the visitor’s jack and the operator’s jack is
empty, an alarm will sound.
A green led on the front panel will light up when the wrist
strap plugged into the remote terminal is working
properly.
The WS Aware Workstation Monitor has two options
of remote terminals:
CTA242
Standard and
CTA243
Big Brother. Big Brother Terminals detect the presence
of an operator and sound an alarm if an operator has
not plugged-in a wrist strap. A red LED on the Big
Brother Terminal indicates the proximity of an operator
regardless of alarm status.
Figure 3. WS Aware Workstation Monitor features and
components (right and left views)
4. Connect the WS Aware Workstation Monitor to its
remote terminals using the supplied mini-DIN cables.
Route the cables so that they are out of the way and
do not interfere.
5. Using 25-28 AWG wire connect the tools that you
wish to monitor to the ground monitor terminals on
the left side of the WS Aware Workstation Monitor.
Use a small screwdriver to press the orange levers
when inserting or removing wires. Caution: This
connection is for monitoring only and not for actual
grounding.
6. If you wish to monitor the grounding of Static
Dissipative Mats (model CTC061), use the SCS
2380
Monitor Cords, connectors and plug in their
wires to mat terminals as mentioned above.
7. If you will be using your WS Aware Workstation
Monitor with a Facility Monitoring System, you must
read the appropriate section in the FMS User Guide
first.
8. Finalize the connections. Plug the power adapter in
a convenient outlet. WS Aware Workstation Monitor
is now ready for continuous monitoring.
Enabling or Disabling Monitoring
Monitoring of each ground can be enabled or disabled
via switches on the left side of the monitor. Pushing
the switch lever down with a tip of a pen or with
a small screwdriver enables monitoring of a particular
ground. Lifting the lever disables it. When monitoring of
a particular ground is disabled, an LED corresponding
to that ground is off. Do not enable the ground that is
not connected as it will create false alarms. For mat
monitoring, it may take up to ~20 seconds for the mat
ground alarm to react. This delay virtually eliminates
false alarms.

Monitoring of each wrist strap is done independently.
When there is no wrist strap present, both LEDs for each
wrist strap are off. When a wrist strap is plugged in, a
red LED may blink for a second or two. If the wrist strap
is worn properly, a green light will be on. When a wrist
strap fails, a red light will be on. In case of body voltage
exceeding the pre-set limit, a green light may still be on
if the wrist strap is worn properly, but the red LED will
blink.

Output Signals
The following table shows the output current (or voltage
across 250 ohms load) corresponding to different
states of ground. For a FMS to generate an alarm it is
recommended to set a 4.75V or 19mA output signal
since below this level, there is at least one failure
condition. This is valid only for 4-20mA output for -3
models.

Monitoring of EMI on Tool Ground
Modes of Operation
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can cause equipment
lockups and malfunction. The WS Aware Workstation
Monitor provides monitoring of EMI on tool grounds.
It is possible to have a good connection to the ground
and presence of large EMI signal on the ground at the
same time. Though presence of EMI does not create
a failure alarm, it is wise to investigate the cause and
take measures to reduce EMI. Please contact SCS for
recommendations and for assistance in these matters.
The WS Aware Workstation Monitor can work in a stand
alone mode or connected to a DAS or a FMS.
Stand-Alone Operation
Connect the WS Aware Workstation Monitor according
to previous instructions and plug its power adapter
into a convenient outlet. Do not forget to connect the
WS Aware Workstation Monitor to ground. WS Aware
Workstation Monitor is now ready to inform you of
problems with personnel and equipment grounding. In
standalone mode, the WS Aware Workstation Monitor
functions as ESD awareness tool for personnel. It can
also be used for hands-on ESD training that is essential
for a successful ESD management program.
Operation with Data Acquisition System (DAS)
DAS or FMS must be able to sample data from each
WS Aware Workstation Monitor in order not to miss
intermittent grounding problems. SCS provides a
portable or stationary DAS. Please contact a SCS Sales
Representative or an authorized distributor.
The WS Aware Workstation Monitor has the
following interface options:
Relay (RT model), 4-20mA (-3 model), and Modbus (-5
model).
