RS PRO Wrist & Foot ESD Tester, With RS Calibration

RS PRO Wristband and Heel Grounder Testing Station

The RS PRO Compact Tester series can be used to test personnel wrist straps and footwear for measuring a static charge. The tester uses either red or green LEDs and an audible alarm to indicate whether the measured resistance is within the range specified by EN 61340-5-1. A foot plate is included with the RS Compact Tester to allow users to test both their footwear and wrist strap. The Compact Tester is powered by a 9V PP3 battery for portability.

This ESD meter measures the resistance of the external circuit between the metal contact button and the cord connectors or the foot test plates. The wrist band and cord, plates, footwear, connection to the operator, operator’s body resistance and the fingertip button contact are all part of the circuit. In case of a failure being indicated, determine whether the wrist strap or the footwear alone is failing by ensuring that the other elements of the circuit are sound.
