Compressed air-operated products manufacturer, Exair, has launched its upgraded Model 7905 Digital Static Meter, the first step in identifying and eliminating the problem of unchecked static in the workplace.

Static electricity is a threat to manufacturing efficiency, product integrity and workplace safety. Unchecked static can lead to costly downtime, product defects, material jams and even hazardous shocks to employees.

With just the press of a button, Exair’s easy-to-use, handheld device pinpoints the highest voltage areas in your facility, helping you diagnose static issues before they become a problem. The Digital Static Meter detects surface voltage and polarity on objects up to ±20 kV, delivering immediate LED-illuminated readings for fast and accurate troubleshooting.

The new Digital Static Meter features an infrared beam to ensure measurement is taken from the optimal one-inch distance for precise readings. Certified for accuracy by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), this highly sensitive instrument ensures pinpoint static measurements, allowing you to take proactive steps toward eliminating costly disruptions in your operations.

Exair’s Model 7905 Digital Static Meter and other products are available from Compressed Air Australia, the Darwin-based Australian distributor of Exair’s range.
