Tools for measurements in EPA zones and beyond

The PRZ-2 kit has been designed for coordinators and measurement specialists who supervise and regularly control in zones protected against the effects of electrostatic discharge (EPA).

The PRS-1 probe is used to check the insulation resistance of floors and walls. It has the shape of an equilateral triangle. It is made in accordance with the guidelines contained in HD 60364-6 and EN 1081 standards.

The probes in the PRS-2 kit are used to measure surface and material resistance values. They are precisely manufactured, in accordance with the guidelines of international standards, incl. IEC 61340-5-1, IEC 61340-5-2 and ANSI/ESD S20.20.
