Description
The EMIT 50512 Monitor Calibration Unit is designed to
simplify the process of calibrating Workstation Continuous
Monitors. The unit allows the user to quickly and easily
verify whether a tester is operating within specifications. The
Monitor Calibration Unit is a passive device and requires no
power source.

Made in the
United States of America
“A Compliance Verification Plan shall be established
to ensure the Organization’s fulfillment of the technical
requirements of the ESD Control Program Plan (ANSI/
ESD S20.20 section 7.3). The product qualification for the
Continuous Monitors per ANSI/ESD S20.20 Table 3 is “User
defined” test method and required limits, and compliance
verification is per ESD TR53 with the required limit being
“Manufacturer defined.” Per ESD TR53 Compiance
Verification “Compliance verification of the constant monitor
device should follow the manufacturer’s instructions.”

Calibration Test Procedures
The Monitor Calibration Unit was specifically designed for
use in calibration of Desco brand equipment. The following
step by step procedures will cover calibration for specific
test units. The procedures will not cover adjustment of the
test equipment. Contact our Customer Service Department
for detailed information regarding adjustment of specific
continuous monitors.

the Monitor Calibration Unit to the Full Time Continuous
Monitor
3. Start the Calibration Unit’s selector knob at the full
counter-clockwise position. When testing the operator
circuit, test only the first four limits on the Calibration
Unit. Rotate the selector knob to the LOW FAIL position.
The red OPERATOR GROUND LED on the monitor
should illuminate, and the alarm should sound.
4. Rotate the selector knob clockwise to the LOW LIMIT
position of the green pass sector. The monitor’s green
OPERATOR GROUND LED should illuminate.

TESTING THE MAT CIRCUIT
1. Connect the Calibration Unit’s GROUND test lead to a
ground point.
2. Insert a wrist cord into the monitor’s operator jack and
snap it to the parking station. This will enable the
audible alarm circuit needed for calbration verfication.
3. Connect the included banana plug / wire adapter to the
Calibration Unit’s MAT test lead. Insert the adapter’s
wire terminal into monitor’s MAT terminal.
TESTING THE OPERATOR CIRCUITS
1. Connect the Calibration Unit’s GROUND test lead to a
ground point.
2. Insert the Calibration Unit’s OPERATOR test lead into
the satellite’s OPERATOR jack.

should illuminate, and the alarm should sound.
4. Rotate the selector knob clockwise to the LOW LIMIT
position of the green pass sector. The monitor’s
corresponding green operator LED should illuminate.
5. Rotate the selector knob clockwise to the HIGH
PASS position at the end of the green pass sector. The
monitor’s corresponding green operator LED should
remain illuminated.
6. Rotate the selector knob clockwise to the HIGH FAIL
position. The monitor’s corresponding red operator LED
should illuminate, and the alarm should sound.
7. Disconnect the Monitor Calibration Unit from the satellite.
8. Perform the same procedure for the other satellite.
