The 3800ESD is a high performance bar code reader designed for the stringent requirements of clean room assembly of sensitive electronic components.

The 3800ESD is constructed of conductive materials engineered to eliminate the build up of dangerous static charge on the scanner and to quickly drain the charge from any other object with which it comes in contact. The 3800ESD is assembled for use in a Class 100 clean room environment and is triple bagged for proper introduction into the end use environment.

Internal components of the 3800ESD scanner are isolated from the conductive path formed by the case, output connector shield, and special shielded cable with drain wire. The scanner is rated for discharges up to 15 kV without damage.

Two models are available: the 3800VHD/ESD, which reads very high density bar codes and the 3800LR/ESD for more typical applications.

All materials used in the 3800ESD are tested using the methods described in ASTM D257, Standard Test Methods for Conductance of Insulating Materials. The surface resistivity is rated at less than 10E5 ohms/square. Triboelectric residual charge is measured with a non-contact Electrostatic Field Meter and is less than 5 volts on any surface.
