SCS WS Aware Dual-Wire Monitor Big Brother Remotes and Ethernet Output

SCS WS Aware Dual-Wire Monitor with Big Brother Remotes & Ethernet Output – P/N 770068 – Continuous ESD Workstation Monitor

Advanced Dual-Workstation ESD Monitoring with Operator Presence Detection, Ethernet Connectivity & Real-Time Grounding Verification

SCS WS Aware Dual-Wire Monitor (P/N 770068) is an advanced continuous ESD workstation monitoring system designed to monitor the grounding integrity of two operators, two conductive or dissipative worksurfaces, and two metal tools simultaneously. Engineered for electronics manufacturing, PCB assembly, and electrostatic discharge protected areas (EPAs), the WS Aware Monitor supports ESD control programs in accordance with ANSI/ESD S20.20 and ESD TR1.0-01-01.

Featuring two Big Brother remote terminals with integrated operator presence sensors, the SCS 770068 provides an additional level of ESD protection by detecting when an operator is present at the workstation without a connected wrist strap. The system generates an alarm to help prevent the handling of ESD-sensitive electronic components without proper grounding.

With built-in Ethernet connectivity, the WS Aware Monitor communicates with the SCS Static Management Program (SMP) for network-based monitoring and data collection. Its advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology applies an ultra-low 0.05V operator test voltage, making it suitable for environments handling highly sensitive electronic devices.

The SCS 770068 also provides operator body voltage detection, electromagnetic interference (EMI) monitoring on grounded metal tools, and compatibility with the SCS 770069 Power Relay for monitor-dependent workstation equipment power control.

Why Choose the SCS 770068 WS Aware Monitor?

The SCS 770068 WS Aware Dual-Wire Monitor combines continuous grounding verification, Big Brother operator presence detection, Ethernet connectivity, and advanced EMI monitoring in one comprehensive ESD workstation monitoring solution. Unlike standard workstation monitors, its integrated operator presence sensors provide an additional alarm function when an operator is detected without a connected wrist strap.

With support for SCS Static Management Program (SMP) and the optional SCS 770069 Power Relay, the WS Aware Monitor helps electronics manufacturers improve ESD monitoring visibility, support process documentation, and reinforce established workstation grounding procedures.

Important: The SCS 770068 includes two Big Brother remote terminals. Dual-wire wrist straps, the SCS 770069 Power Relay, and other optional accessories are sold separately. Ethernet data management requires compatible SMP software or infrastructure. The monitor provides continuous monitoring and alarms but does not independently eliminate all ESD risks.
