Demonstration #1 Testing of Low Tribocharging Tapes With the charge analyzer 711 in the FIELDMETER operating mode, pull the tape off the roll and hold it above the sensor. The digital display reads the field strength in kV/m. To convert readings of kV/m into volts use the following formulas: R/100 x D (cm) or R/39.37 x D (in.) where:...
Manual/Auto; 25V, 100V, 500V, 1000V, & 5000V Meter display symbols in Voltmeter mode V = 3M Charge Analyzer 711 in Voltmeter mode (upper left corner). ™ R = Voltage measurement range selected. If range selected is too low OVERFLOW will appear.

Static decay time is defined as the time interval needed to reduce a defined voltage potential on an object to a defined lower potential by means of applied ionized air. Another important aspect for ionizers is the ability to produce a balanced stream of positive and negative ions. The 3M Charge Analyzer 711 can be used to ™...

1. Attach the three metal-spacers (j) by screwing into the three locations at the rear of the Charge Analyzer 711. ™ 2. Position the charge analyzer 711 in front of the ionizer blower with the display facing upward. 3. Measure the static decay rate and offset balance by following the procedure outlined in Demonstration #6 above.
