Surface Resistance Test Kit

Description

The Surface Resistance Test Kit is a portable, accurate, and versatile battery operated instrument

designed to measure resistance between two points (RTT) and resistance to ground (RTG)

in accordance with ANSI/ESD S4.1 including:

         Resistance measuring accuracy +/-10% (E11 & greater +/-20%)

         Resistance range <1.0 x 10E3 ohms to >10E12 ohms

         Open circuit voltages of 10 and 100 volts +/-5%

         Electrification period of 15 seconds

         Electrodes (two) 5 pounds +/-2 oz with 50-70 durometer conductive pads

In addition, the Meter measures ambient temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius) and relative

humidity. Voltage set to “Auto”, will measure at 10 volt automatically switching to 100 volts if material

being tested is >10E5 ohms. No switching test voltage is necessary.

The Surface Resistance Test Kit is referenced and designed to be used to make measurements in accordance

with the test methods in:

         Worksurfaces – ANSI/ESD S4.1 Worksurfaces

         Compliance Verification – ESD TR53 – Resistance Measurements

         Floors – ANSI/ESD S7.1 – Resistive Characterization of Materials Floor Materials

         Footwear – ANSI/ESD S9.1 – Footwear – Resistive Characterization

         Garments – ANSI/ESD STM2.1 Garments

         Seating – ANSI/ESD STM12.1-Seating – Resistive Measurement

         Floor/Footwear – ANSI/ESD STM97.1 – Floor Materials and Footwear – Resistance Measurement in Combination with a Person

         Workstations – ESD-ADV53.1 – ESD Protective Workstations

The Surface Resistance Test Kit is NIST calibrated and items available are:

Inspection

Remove the Meter from the carton and inspect for damage. Each Surface Resistance Test Kit should include

the following:

1   Protective carrying case

1   Meter

2   Test leads

2   5-pound electrodes

2   AA alkaline batteries

1   Certificate of Calibration

Properly store the Meter and component assemblies when not in use.
