Dual Independent Footwear Tester

Installation, Operation and Maintenance

Description

The EMIT Dual Independent Footwear Tester is a 6-state touch tester designed for fast and

frequent testing of ESD personnel footwear. This tester can be used to verify that the ESD

footwear resistance circuit is within the proper limits. By depressing the test button once, the

Dual Independent Footwear Tester tests the resistance path limits of both worn ESD footwear

independently within three seconds. It can be setup to test a 100 kilohms (10E5)-1 megohm

(10E6) circuit (foot grounders) or a 10 megohms (10E7) – 1 gigohm (10E9) circuit (dissipative shoes).

This unit can be used as one of the tools to fulfill the ANSI/ESD S20.20 Section 6.1.3.2 Compliance

Verification Plan. “Verification should include routine checks of the Technical Requirements of

the Plan.” The Dual Independent Footwear Tester incorporates a unique dual test circuit design

which improves test accuracy.
