The 3M
™
Dual Conductor Ground Cord is part of a personnel ground monitoring system. The 3M
™
Workstation Monitor product line (Models 724, 725, and 790) uses a dual conductor type wrist strap system
consisting of a dual conductor wristband and ground cord. The dual system allows for a monitored loop
resistance measurement, which includes the wristband contact to the wearer and a redundant grounding path.
If one conductor of the system fails, the other can still function maintaining the grounding of the person. As a
result, this prevents static from being generated by the person, eliminating possible damage to static-sensitive
electronic components. The series includes cords available in 5, 10, or 20 feet lengths and are compatible with
all existing 3M dual conductor fabric, metal, and thermoplastic wristbands.
3M
™
Dual Conductor Cord 2300 Series features a new cord construction with a double insulated jacket which
improves the cord’s durability to repeated flexing and provides for a lighter weight cord. In addition, the
“positive” plug grip makes it easy to insert and remove the cord from a remote input jack. The 3M
™
Dual
Conductor Ground Cords 2360, 2370, and 2371 are a straight plug design.
Two new series of right angle plug connection designs have been added. The 3M
™
Dual Conductor Ground
Cords 2360R, 2370R, and 2371R, which use a 3.0 mm diameter plug tip, are recommended for use with 3M
monitors and some other monitor manufacturers that use a smaller input jack design. The 2360R, 2370R, and
2371R ground cords are identified by gray overmolded ends.
The 3M
™
Dual Conductor Ground Cords 2391, 2392, and 2393, which use a 3.4 mm diameter plug tip, are
recommended for use with other manufacturers' monitors that use a larger input jack design. The 2391, 2392,
and 2393 ground cords are identified by blue overmolded ends.
