The Trek Model 344 is a precision electrostatic voltmeter for
making noncontacting surface voltage measurements in the
range of 0 to ±2 kV DC or peak AC.
! Speed of Response:
Less than 3 ms for
The Model 344 employs a field-nulling technique for
noncontacting voltage measurement that achieves DC stability
and high accuracy even if the probe-to-surface spacing changes.
This permits measurements of either stationary or moving
surfaces without the need to establish fixed spacing to maintain
accuracy.
The Model 344 patented probe design eliminates the need for
close tolerance components. This significantly improves noise
and drift performance, both in the presence of contaminating
particulates and under conditions of high humidity and wide
temperature ranges.
A precision voltage monitor provides a low-voltage replica of the
measured electrostatic potential for monitoring purposes, or for
use as a feedback signal in a closed-loop system.
The Model 344 can be operated on a bench top or, with optional
hardware, in a standard 19-inch rack. The rack adapter allows
two 344 units to be mounted together.
The Digital Enable feature provides a connection for a remote
device to turn on and off the high voltage of the instrument. This
makes the 344 suitable for automated or computer-controlled
systems.
