Product catalog summary
Overview
This document describes the MCE 20 Electrostatic Field Measurement Meter, a compact digital display device designed to measure electrostatic fields. It provides direct field strength readings in volts by selecting the measurement distance.

Importance of Static Electricity Management
Electrostatic charges pose significant challenges across various industries, including microelectronics, telecommunications, plastics, and explosives. High voltage charges can damage electronic components and cause sparks, leading to potential explosions in hazardous environments.

Technical Specifications
  • Material: Antistatic plastic with a skin covering on the front panel.
  • Dimensions: 70 x 122 x 26 mm
  • Weight: 130 gm (without battery)
  • Power Supply: 9 V IEC alkaline battery
  • Measurement Ranges: Varying from 0 to 160 kV depending on distance (1 cm to 20 cm)
  • Display: LCD screen with two alphanumeric lines
  • Working Time: Approximately 10 hours in continuous operation

Measurement Principle
The device operates as a parametric amplifier, measuring alternating current proportional to the voltage without using radioactive substances.

Operating Instructions
  • To start, press the “function/on” key. A double click turns it off, and it automatically shuts down after 5 minutes to conserve battery.
  • The "Hold" function allows users to freeze the displayed measurement for convenience in difficult-to-access areas.
  • The default measurement distance is 2 cm, suitable for most situations, but can be adjusted for specific needs.

electrostatic field measurement meter-1

Electrostatic field measurement meter This is a convenient small digital display meter for measuring electrostatic By selecting the measurement distance, we obtain the field strength in volts directly. General points about static electricity Currently the problem of electrostatic charges is relevant for many work stations. Hence, although modern microelectronics (integrated components) are especially sensitive, other industrial sectors are also greatly affected: telecommunications, plastics, and explosives. This problem causes considerable lost time and financial losses and it can affect personal health. Charges well over 10,000 volts can accumulate on people, clothes, materials and equipment. An accumulation of 100 V is sufficient to damage electronic components. Charges of 3,000 volts and more can lead to the formation of sparks that could cause an explosion in a dangerous Technical characteristics The box is made of antistatic plastic material with a skin covering on the front panel. The influence measurement electrode is in the form of a star. A modulation rotor, connected to earth and with the same star shape, rotates close to it. A system of annular electrodes around the influence electrode protects it mechanically. Weight: 130 gm (without the battery) Power supply: 9 V IEC alkaline battery

electrostatic field measurement meter-2

Measurement ranges : Electrostatic field measurement meter LCD screen comprising two alphanumeric display lines (12 characters on each line) Working time: In continuous operation, approx. 10 hours Measurement principle: The electrical field measurement meter is a parametric amplifier. The charges subject to the influence of the electrical field create an alternating current proportional to the voltage. This current is measured using a selective amplifier, without abstraction of energy on the electrical field in the mean time. No radioactive substance is used. Operating instructions: To start,...
