Features
The PGA-710B is a unique electrostatic data analysis device for use with the PFK-100 Fieldmeter/Charge Plate Monitor Set. It records, plots, analyzes and automatically constructs reports of body voltage generation, electrostatic decay, voltage retention, ionizer performance and other static measuring functions. Its analytical features document and automatically calculate projected levels of typical Human Body (HBM) voltages. It helps determine the risk of equaling or exceeding damaging or hazardous HBM discharge voltages in static sensitive facilities.
The Autoanalyzer links to a Field meter’s analog output and lap top computer’s USB using provided cables. Its Autoanalysis Applications software converts your instruments into a digital chart recording system with automatic analysis and reporting features. The PGA-710B will perform measurement and recording functions, perform data analysis, generate charts, then construct and print out complete reports, including the facility’s ambient temperature and relative humidity during each test.
The PGA-710B can be used as a freestanding data logger or recorder for later downloading to your computer. It will communicate with your computer via USB or RS-232 COM port.
The PGA-710B’s unique software will instantly perform mathematical and statistical functions to assist ESD Program Managers and Plant Auditors in defining strengths and weaknesses of the ESDS device transport and handling process. The PGA-710B will calculate the 3-Sigma ranges of Walking and Standing body voltages in your facility, graphically plot the percent probability of equaling or exceeding specific body voltages in the process, and calculate the maximum, minimum and average of voltage generation or decay times.
The PFK-100 set includes our unique PFM-711B Dual Range Field Meter, CPM-720B Charged Plate Monitor assembly and PCS-730B ±1 kv Charging Source. With this instrument set you can measure electrostatic fields, analyze ionizer performance and assess the voltage generation of materials, equipment and personnel.
The battery operated PFM-711B Field Meter is a compact “electronic chopper” design with accuracy of +/- 2% at ambient conditions (23ºC and 30%Rh). It features automatic polarity, measurement “hold” button, low battery indicator, high and low ranges, distance ranging lights for accurate and repeatable measurements, manual zero control and a ground snap. With the supplied analog output cable, it can be used in conjunction with an X-Y plotter or any analog data-recording device.
The CPM-720B Charge Plate Assembly is 3.25 inches square. It attaches to the PFM-711A field meter that can be used for compliance verification testing of ionizers per ESD TR53 or ANSI/ESD SP3.3.
The PCS-730B +/- 1 kV Charging Source is used to charge the CPM-720A to +/- 1,000 volts to measure ionizer decay and material decay. These three instruments are match calibrated to work together for accurate and efficient auditing.

What Clients are Saying
StaticWorx has been an extremely valuable resource for helping to evaluate and specify ESD flooring to our team. On a recently completed project, consisting of 30,000 SF of microelectronics lab, our team worked with StaticWorx and President Dave Long to create the perfect ESD flooring solution for our client–blending required performance (both in terms of static control and highly sought after comfort on foot), aesthetics, and cost. The research and technical resources that StaticWorx provided helped to inform our team and client of the pros and cons of various ESD flooring solutions, and ultimately, guided in flooring specification and use. StaticWorx is a proven leader in static control flooring solutions–our interactions with their team members, and most importantly, their product performance, is a testament to that fact!
We appreciate Dave taking the time to travel to Savannah to share his extensive technical knowledge of static control flooring and practical experiences. The hands on testing he showed our team was extremely beneficial. Dave’s presentation piqued a lot of interest and as our team members review the wealth of information on your web site they have come to realize there is a lot they did not know. . . I expect we will have additional questions in the future.

StaticWorx Walking Test Kit SystemFrequently Asked Questions
What is the Walking Test Kit System?
The Walking Test Kit System is a comprehensive electrostatic data analysis device used to measure, record, and analyze body voltage generation, decay performance, and ionizer efficiency in ESD-sensitive environments.
What does it measure?
It evaluates footwear and flooring combinations, carts and chairs, packaging materials, worksurfaces, ionizer performance, and process equipment voltage. The system calculates maximum, minimum, and average voltages, as well as 3-sigma ranges for walking and standing body voltages.
How does it work?
The system connects a Field Meter (PFM-711B), Charge Plate Monitor (CPM-720B), and ±1 kV Charging Source (PCS-730B). The PGA-710B software records and analyzes data, generating charts and complete reports, including ambient temperature and humidity during tests.
Can it be used independently?
Yes. The PGA-710B can operate as a freestanding data logger, with later download to a computer via USB or RS-232 for analysis.
