It simultaneously monitors two operators, each using a dual-wire wrist strap, providing real-time continuous verification of both the primary and redundant ground paths for each operator. Dual-wire wrist straps and monitors are required by some high-reliability ESD programs where a single point of failure in the ground path is not acceptable. The 19662 provides independent audible and visual alarms for each operator channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19662\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesco\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMonitor Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContinuous dual-wire wrist strap monitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperators\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual operator (2 channels)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWrist Strap Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual-wire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlert Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndependent audible + visual alarm per channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompliance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eANSI\/ESD S20.20, ANSI\/ESD STM13.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStock Location\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCanton, MA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Wire Wrist Strap Monitoring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monitors both the primary and redundant ground paths of dual-wire wrist straps — the highest level of continuous wrist strap verification available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Operator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monitors two operators simultaneously from a single unit — reduces monitor count in multi-operator work areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndependent Alarms per Channel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each operator channel has its own audible and visual alarm — a failure on one channel does not mask the other.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous Real-Time Monitoring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verifies both ground paths throughout the entire work shift, not just at shift start.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI\/ESD S20.20 Compliant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meets continuous monitoring requirements per ANSI\/ESD S20.20 and ANSI\/ESD STM13.1.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Desco 19662 and the Desco 19655?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth monitor two operators continuously. The 19655 monitors single-wire wrist straps — one ground path per operator. The 19662 monitors dual-wire wrist straps — both the primary and redundant ground paths per operator. The 19662 is required if your ESD program mandates dual-wire wrist straps for high-reliability applications where a single point of failure in the ground path is not acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy would a facility use dual-wire wrist straps instead of single-wire?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDual-wire wrist straps provide a redundant ground path — if one wire fails, the operator remains grounded through the second wire. Some high-reliability ESD programs (aerospace, defense, medical device) require dual-wire wrist straps and continuous dual-wire monitoring to eliminate single points of failure in the personnel grounding system. ANSI\/ESD S20.20 permits either approach; the choice depends on the sensitivity of the devices being handled and the risk tolerance of the program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Desco 19662 compliant with ANSI\/ESD S20.20?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
