For the realization of the device, constructed by us, a surface potential measuring sensor EFS-22D has been used, consisting of a measuring probe and an electronic converter for measuring voltages in the range from 0V to 900V at a distance between the sample and the surface of the probe within 1 – 3.5mm. The measuring probe is composed of an oscillating mechanism (of the type of a tonometer), with metal electrodes attached to it, which block the electric field. The movement of these electrodes is accomplished by means of a piezo-electric element. The chopper is tuning fork oscillator type shutter. The surface potential, measured by the probe of the sensor, is converted into analogue voltage, varying from 0 to 4.5V, which is then converted into a digital value by a 15-bit sigma-delta analogueto-digital converter, connected to a microcontroller. The data from the measurements are transmitted from the microcontroller to a personal computer through a Bluetooth module.
