Curing static electricity
Case History: Emergency 911 call center static discharge problem
PDF New window



Effective control of static discharge problems in a mission-critical environment like a 911 emergency communications center requires understanding the differences in various types of static dissipative and static resistant floors. There is significant performance variation between anti static carpet tile, static dissipative carpet tile and conductive carpet tile. This documented case history shows how a 911 call center identified static discharge (ESD) as the source of their problems and eliminated static by installing permanent static control flooring and antistatic chairs.

Many consider AT&T's study to be the most objective analysis of static control flooring options ever conducted. This study evaluated electrical properties, installation issues and even appearance. Find out why Staticworx® EC Rubber might offer the lowest total cost of ownership of any ESD floor covering based upon this two year examination of: conductive and dissipative vinyl ESD tile, anti static and static dissipative rubber ESD tile and various conductive ESD epoxy and urethane coatings.

Please note: ESD and anti static carpet was not evaluated in this study. Due to clean room considerations associated with AT&T's microelectronics facility, this study only included surfaces that could be installed in a clean room environment.

Please refer to the article Choosing The Right ESD Floor For Laboratory and Technical Environments for information about the many benefits of ESD carpeting and ESD carpet tiles in electronics handling environments

A U.S. Military Air Traffic Control facility in the Middle East was having problems with their CONTROL ACCESS UNITS (CAUs). Each of the three CAUs in the tower controls a specific position vital to airfield management and safety. Using the CAUs, the controllers maintain constant contact with all individuals and vehicles on the airfield, on the ground and in the air.
