Section 2: INTRODUCTION
The Ransburg Ground Monitoring System (GMS) monitors the ground condition of non-metallic parts and provides
feedback, increasing the margin of safety. After scanning the part with an electrostatic charge, the GMS’s control unit
circuitry monitors several variables and compares the reading against a pre-determined standard. If the reading falls
outside of an acceptable range, the notification alarm will activate, allowing adjustments or corrections to be made, elim-
inating rework while increasing quality. Improper grounding can cause overspray, excess paint build-up, thin film build,
ruined parts or a safety hazard.
The GMS consists of:
• Control Unit
• Probe Detector
• Cable
• Machine Mount Bracket
The device can be used in the spray area, FM testing is successfully complete and approval pending.
The control unit consists of an electrostatic generator, input-output signal circuitry, and is microprocessor/software based.
The probe detector contains a high voltage cascade, electrode assembly and an electrical circuit capable of providing
feedback to the control unit.
