IMPORTANT NOTE
In order to maintain proper operation of the floating plate, it is essential that the
support insulators be kept scrupulously clean. Consider the following:
■ Do not touch or handle the insulators.
■ Do not wrap the line cord around the insulators.
■ Store the instrument in its protective case when not in use. Store in a clean dry location.
■ Clean the insulators according to the directions given in the MAINTENANCE section
when self-discharge exceeds 10% of the set voltage within 5 minutes at relative humidity
of less than 50%. At high humidity surface leakage currents increase and air ionizes
readily and self-decay time can be expected to decrease regardless of how clean the
insulators are.
The Charged Plate Analyzer Model 268A meets test equipment requirements of the
EOS/ESD Association's EOS/ESD STANDARD NO. 3.1 "STANDARD FOR PROTECTION
OF ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SUSCEPTIBLE ITEMS: IONIZATION".
