Description
The EMIT Dual-Wire Dual-Operator Programmable
Monitor monitors two operators and two ESD worksurfaces
eliminating the need for periodic testing and record keeping
of wrist straps. The Dual-Wire Dual-Operator Programmable
Monitor uses low-voltage steady state DC continuous-loop
technology to continuously monitor (versus pulsed or
intermittent) dual-wire wrist strap functionality. Independent
audio and visual alarm conditions make it easy to identify
the status of the worksurfaces and operators. Two operator
remotes with 10 foot cables are included for use at adjacent
workstations. Each monitor is calibrated with accepted
procedures and standards traceable to the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) and includes a NIST
certificate.
ANSI/ESD S20.20 section 7.3 states “Compliance verification
records shall be established and maintained to provide
evidence of conformity to the technical requirements.”
Per ANSI/ESD S1.1 Annex A.3 Daily (wrist strap system)
testing may be omitted if constant monitoring used.” Per
ESD Handbook ESD TR 20.20 section 5.3.2.4.4 “Typical
Test programs recommend that wrist straps that are used
daily should be tested daily. However, if the products that
are being produced are of such value that knowledge of a
continuous, reliable ground is needed, and then continuous
monitoring should be considered or even required.”
The EMIT Dual-Wire Dual-Operator Programmable Monitor is
available in the following models:

A. Operator 1 Status LEDs:
When the green LED is
illuminated, operator 1 is properly grounded. When the LED
is illuminated red or yellow and the alarm sounds, operator 1
is not properly grounded.
B. Worksurface 1 Status LEDs:
When the green LED is
illuminated, worksurface 1 is properly grounded. When the
red LED is illuminated and the alarm sounds, worksurface 1
is not properly grounded.
C. Operator 2 Status LEDs:
When the green LED is
illuminated, operator 2 is properly grounded. When the LED
is illuminated red or yellow and the alarm sounds, operator 2
is not properly grounded.
D. Worksurface 2 Status LEDs:
When the green LED is
illuminated, worksurface 2 is properly grounded. When the
LED is illuminated red and the alarm sounds, worksurface 2
is not properly grounded.
E. Power Jack:
Connect to the included 12VDC power
adapter.
F. Operator 2 Remote Jack:
Connect to the black operator
remote cable.
G. Operator 1 Remote Jack:
Connect to the white operator
remote cable.
H. Monitored Mat 1 Terminal:
Monitors a worksurface mat
for proper dissipative resistance and static charges. Connect
the white mat monitor cord here.
I. Ground Terminal:
Common ground point for the monitor.
Connect to the green and yellow monitor ground cord.
J. Monitored Mat 2 Terminal:
Monitors a worksurface mat
for proper dissipative resistance and static charges. Connect
the black monitor cord here.
K. Data Output:
For manufacturer use.
L. Alarm Audible Adjustment:
Turn the trimpot
counter-clockwise to increase the audible alarm volume and
clockwise to decrease it.
4. Attach the worksurface mats to ground using the green
mat ground cords. Install the ring terminal end of the
cord to an appropriate ground point. Attach the snaps
terminals to the snaps on the worksurface mat.
5. Install the tinned wire end of the green and yellow
monitor ground cord to the ground terminal located at the
back of the monitor. Install its ring terminal to an
appropriate ground point. Be sure to use a different
ground point than the one used for the mats. The face
plate screw of a grounded AC wall outlet may provide a
convenient connection point.
6. Route the mat cords from the back of the monitor to
the snaps on worksurface mats. The white cord is for
worksurface mat #1. The black cord is for worksurface
mat #2.
7. Insert the operator remote cables into their appropriate
jacks located at the back of the monitor. The white cable
is for operator #1. The black cable is for operator #2.
8. Connect the power adapter to the power jack located
at the back of the monitor. Plug the power adapter into
a proper AC power outlet. The monitor is now powered.
NOTE:
Worksurface must have a conductive layer such as
Dual Layer Rubber or Dissipative 3-Layer Vinyl or Micastat
®
Dissipative Laminate with conductive buried layers. EMIT
Continuous Monitors are not recommended for use with
homogeneous matting.

Installation
1. Determine the mounting location of the Dual-Wire
Dual-Operator Monitor. The front panel should be visible
to both operators.
2. Determine the mounting locations of the operator
remotes. Be sure to install the remotes at a distance
that enables the 10 foot leads to reach the back of the
monitor.
3. Install tinned wire ends of the mat cords to their
appropriate screw terminal block located at the back of
the monitor.

Operation
1. Monitoring of the operators will remain in the STANDBY
condition until a wrist cord is plugged into the operator
remote. STANDBY mode is indicated by a blinking
yellow operator LED.
2. Plug a wrist strap cord, not attached to the wristband,
into the monitored jack labeled WRIST STRAP
MONITOR located on the remote. This automatically
activates the selected operator channel. The
corresponding operator LED should illuminate red and
the alarm should sound on the monitor.
3. Remove the charges from your body by making contact
with a properly grounded ESD worksurface.
4. Snap the cord to the wristband, and fit it snugly onto
your wrist. This should silence the audible alarm and
cause the corresponding operator LED to switch from
red to green. If this does not happen, examine the wrist
cord for continuity or damage and your wrist band to
ensure that it is securely fit. If you have dry skin,
apply an approved dissipative hand lotion such as
Menda Reztore™ ESD Hand Lotion.
5. The AUX GND jack located on the operator remote
is a grounded and unmonitored connection for guests. It
must be used with a banana plug wrist cord and
single-wire wristband.
To gain access to these switches, remove the monitor’s
cover and position the monitor so the PCB matches the
orientation shown in Figure 5. Switches SW1 and SW2
control the operator test voltage. Switch SW3 controls the
operator high test limit.

SETTING THE OPERATOR TEST VOLTAGE AND TEST
LIMIT
The Dual-Wire Dual-Operator Monitor’s operator test voltage
and high test limit can be set to different values. The
operator test voltage can be set to either +5V or +8V, and
the operator high test limit can be set to either 10 megohms
or 35 megohms. The default voltage is +8V, and the default
operator high test limit is 35 megohms. These settings are
controlled by a set of 3 switches located inside the monitor’s
enclosure.
NOTE: EMIT recommends re-calibration of the monitor
should either setting be changed. See the “Calibration”
section for more information.
Calibration
Frequency of recalibration should be based on the critical
nature of those ESD sensitive items handled and the risk of
failure for the ESD protective equipment and materials. In
general, EMIT recommends that calibration be performed
annually.
Use the EMIT 50524 Limit Comparator for Dual-Wire
Monitors to perform periodic testing (once every 6-12
months) of the Dual-Wire Dual-Operator Programmable
Monitor. The Limit Comparator can be used on the shop
floor within a few minutes virtually eliminating downtime,
verifying that the monitor is operating within tolerances.
