Recommended Posts

Hello

Intercom is installed in hallway of building 

floor is carpet 

sometimes when a person touches it to get ready to press , the person will get a small static shock and the unit will reboot.

we tried to change the unit and even add a anti static door mat 

we also grounded the ground terminal.

any comments please ?

I’ve had this issue before but it was a conference room.  The cleaners were using some particular powder on the carpet before vacuuming it.

The powder was adding more static buildup on the carpet, so much so that it would cause my whole AV rack to reboot.

I told the cleaners to stop using that stuff in that room and the problem went away.

 

Static mats won’t help unless you make everyone wear anti-static straps on their shoes.

Really isn’t a good way to fix permanently.  Could always try to mount a metal plate to the wall next to the touchscreen and have them touch that before the screen!!
