Abstract
A continuous monitor having an enhanced visual alarm including a printed circuit board, one or more sensors, one or more light emitting devices and a translucent housing is disclosed. The printed circuit board and the one or more light emitting devices may be disposed within the translucent housing. In one aspect, a light signal may visibly illuminate the translucent housing providing a visual alarm for an observer.
Claims20
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) continuous monitor comprising:
- a printed circuit board to comprise a signal control circuit;
- one or more sensors coupled to the signal control circuit;
- one or more light emitting devices to emit a light signal responsive to a signal from the signal control circuit;
- and
- a translucent housing, wherein:
- the printed circuit board and the one or more light emitting devices are disposed within the translucent housing;
- the signal control circuit detects an event using information received from the one or more sensors;
- and
- the light signal to visibly illuminate the translucent housing responsive to an event detected by the signal control circuit.
A method of controlling an electrostatic discharge (ESD) continuous monitor including a signal control circuit, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by the signal control circuit, one or more signals received from one or more sensors;
- detecting, by the signal control circuit, one or more events based, at least in part, on the one or more signals received from the one or more sensors;
- and
- activating, by the signal control circuit, a light signal to illuminate a translucent housing of the ESD continuous monitor in response to detecting the one or more events;
- wherein:
- an illumination of the translucent housing is to express a visual alarm signaling the one or more detected events.
