ESD Ground Monitor / Tester
 

Hello,

Has anyone heard of a ESD Ground Monitor / Tester called "Snap It"?

If so, can you tell me where I can find It?


Thank You,

Danny

Perhaps you are looking for a "Hi-Pot" tester? This checks for ground
leaks to metal surfaces by pulsing a high voltage....

Not sure about this, but they make workbench monitors that alarm when
the path between wrist strap and earth ground isn't good. I don't
know about "Snap It", but google "wrist strap monitor", maybe what
you're thinking of. And if it is, ARRL published a circuit for a
ground monitor that can easily be built.
