The WS Aware workplace monitor Big Brother from SCS is a sophisticated surveillance system specifically designed to secure work environments against electrostatic discharges. This device is equipped with two Remote Terminal Big Brother CTA243 and provides comprehensive monitoring of grounding connections for tools, soldering irons, and desk mats. It measures the impedance for both low-resistance and high-resistance connections and monitors compliance with ANSI 6.1 and ANSI/ESD S20.20 standards.
Through the "Big Brother" monitoring function, the system detects individuals at the workplace who are not properly grounded and triggers an alarm if necessary. This is supported by a test voltage of only about 25mV for continuous monitoring of wrist straps. EMI events are detected at the grounding connections and signaled by a flashing yellow LED when adjustable thresholds are exceeded. Additionally, the device features an optical and acoustic alarm indicator, which can be disabled if needed.
The compact design with dimensions of 81 mm width, 32 mm height, and 57 mm length, along with a weight of 140 g, makes the WS Aware easy to integrate into any work environment. It is designed for operating temperatures from -37 to 63 °C and includes an RJ45 connection for efficient data transfer.
