SCS Verification Tester for Continuous Monitors

SCS CTE701 Verification Tester for Continuous Monitors – NIST-Calibrated ESD Workstation Monitor Checker – Made in USA

Precision On-Site Verification of ESD Continuous Monitors for Electronics Manufacturing & Workstation Compliance

SCS CTE701 Verification Tester for Continuous Monitors is a precision ESD workstation monitor verification instrument designed to perform periodic test limit verification of compatible SCS continuous monitors. By simulating resistance, impedance, and voltage signals, the CTE701 allows technicians to verify that workstation monitors respond correctly to simulated grounding conditions and operate within specified test limits.

Engineered for electronics manufacturing, PCB assembly, semiconductor handling, and ESD protected areas (EPAs), the SCS CTE701 supports compliance verification procedures associated with ANSI/ESD S20.20 and ESD TR53. Its portable, battery-powered design allows verification directly at the workstation, eliminating the need to remove installed monitors for routine functional checks and helping minimize production downtime.

The NIST-traceable calibrated tester is compatible with multiple SCS monitoring systems, including the 770067 and 770068 WS Aware Monitors, 770044 Ground Master Monitor, CTC337 Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor, and 773 Wrist Strap and Ground Monitor. Featuring selectable test limits and dedicated controls for simulating pass and fail conditions, the CTE701 provides a practical solution for maintaining reliable ESD monitoring programs.

Why Choose the SCS CTE701 Verification Tester?

The SCS CTE701 Verification Tester provides a convenient, reliable method for verifying continuous ESD monitor operation without interrupting production to remove equipment from the workstation. Its ability to simulate multiple electrical conditions allows ESD coordinators, quality technicians, and maintenance personnel to evaluate monitor response and document periodic compliance verification activities.

With NIST-traceable calibration, adjustable test limits, broad SCS monitor compatibility, and portable battery-powered operation, the CTE701 is a valuable instrument for facilities maintaining structured ESD control programs.

Important: The SCS CTE701 is a verification tester, not a continuous workstation monitor. It is designed to check the response of compatible monitors to defined test conditions and does not independently provide continuous operator or worksurface monitoring. SCS recommends annual calibration of both workstation monitors and the CTE701 tester. Verification frequency should be established according to the sensitivity of the devices handled and the facility's ESD control plan.
