✅ Why It’s Useful:
-
Ensures continuous real-time monitoring of the wrist strap + ground path rather than just a one-time test. This helps prevent ESD damage to sensitive electronics at your workstation.
-
Dual channel means you can monitor two operators at the same time — helpful if your service/repair desk or electronics workstation has multiple persons.
-
Compact and designed for mounting on or near the workbench; doesn’t take up much space.
-
Visual + audio indicators make non-compliance immediately noticeable (green vs red + buzzer) so operator can act quickly.
-
For your business (you do e-commerce + service of electronics) this is a good addition for your in-house testing/repair environment or if you sell/handle ESD-sensitive products.
