Real Time Static Charge Monitoring System

The output signal from the Valstat® SM20 online electrostatic charge sensors ( minimum 1, maximum 18 sensors) can be connected to one or more colour touch panel HMIs for remote or local continuous monitoring and analytics. The collected data is monitored and when the measured value exceeds the measurement range or a pre-set safety level, an alarm sounded. The collected data can be stored, retrieved and analysed.

Distinct from a hand-held meter that is used to periodically measure static charges, the Valstat® SM20 is permanently fixed at the location where the target is to be monitored. Hence, variations in measurement due to different operators, location, and distance are completely eliminated. As a result, a real-time, accurate, and continuous signal proportional to the static charge is made available for further analytics and diagnostics. The discharge or neutralising effect of the static charge eliminator is efficiently monitored for continual safety, and preventive maintenance. Expensive man-hours for inspection, testing, and validation are also effectively reduced.
