Statguard Flooring - Questions And Answers

We think that static is making our fax machine keep burning up or breaking down. We would like to know what you can recommend to use for to fix this fax machine problem?

Check the power line (make sure it is wired properly including ground and that the fax machine has a ground post in its power cord that is coupling to ground) with a GAM2A.
Get a field meter...do an audit around the fax machine to help identify any other problem areas.
Some possible solutions:
 Put a T2 grounded mat under the machine to eliminate it’s environment variable (new procedure to touch T2 mat prior to the fax machine to do a controlled discharge)
 Make sure people using the fax machine aren’t tribocharging and discharging to the machine
 use carpet spray on all surrounding carpets/chairs
 use Reztore™ topical antistat on fax machine case (careful of opening and controls)
- (if very bad) wear a wrist strap prior to using the fax machine
