The Bakon BK518-2 ESD Wrist Strap Online Monitor is an optimal solution for electronic component production lines (PCBA, SMT). Instead of stopping work for periodic manual wrist strap testing, the BK518-2 operates continuously, ensuring that operators are safely grounded 100% of their working time. This is an essential device for factories to achieve ISO quality certifications in ESD control.
🎁 SPECIAL OFFER: Includes 02 complimentary high-quality ESD wrist straps with the unit.
Key Features of Bakon BK518-2
- Dual Monitoring (Dual Channel): A single unit can simultaneously monitor 2 operators (2 separate connection ports), saving investment costs and installation space.
- Instant Alarm: As soon as an issue is detected (broken wrist strap, poor skin contact due to dry skin, disconnected plug), the device immediately sounds a buzzer and flashes a red LED.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Since human body resistance varies from person to person, the BK518-2 allows fine-tuning of impedance for accurate detection and prevention of false alarms.
- Industrial Design: Sturdy, durable, impact-resistant metal housing with a compact size for easy installation.

Installation and Calibration Guide
Because each person has a different body resistance (typically around 1MΩ), the Bakon BK518-2 requires initial fine-tuning for accurate operation:
- Wear the ESD wrist strap and connect it to the monitor.
- Observe the status indicator light.
- Case A (Low resistance < 1MΩ): If the green light is not on, use a small screwdriver to gently turn the front “Adjust” knob to the Left to increase resistance until the Green light turns on.
- Case B (High resistance > 1MΩ): If the green light is not on, gently turn the adjustment knob to the Right to decrease resistance until the Green light turns on.
