The
Sole-Mate is a user friendly device that is designed to test the condition of
static
|
|
dissipative
footwear prior to entering safety critical hazardous areas exposed to
|
|
potentially explosive atmospheres.
ÿ
|
|
International Standards recommend regular testing of static
dissipative footware.
|
|
The Sole-Mate provides a time efficient and cost effective
method of ensuring
|
|
personnel are wearing static
dissipative shoes that are fit for purpose.
ÿ
|
|
The
Sole-Mate tests the condition of the shoes by measuring the resistance of the
|
|
electrical loop through the operator and their footwear. If the
resistance of the shoes
|
|
is too
high, the Sole-Mate will indicate that the shoes have failed the test via a
red
|
|
lamp and buzzer alarm. If the shoes pass the test a green lamp
will indicate to the
|
|
operator that the shoes are fit for purpose.
ÿ
|
|
Additionally, users can specify if they wish to interlock the
tester with audible alarms
|
|
or entry doors into hazardous areas so that personnel not
wearing suitable footwear
|
|
cannot enter the hazardous areas. All
Sole-Mate units are supplied with 6ft cable and
|
|
US style plug. (UK unit supplied with 3m cable to
wire into a mains supply).

|
|
Relevant International Standards
|
|
Based on user preference, the Sole-Mate can be set

defined by appropriate standards below:
|
- EN ISO 20345 – 1 x 109
ohm
|
ÿ |
- CLC/TR 50404 – 1 x 108
ohm
|
ÿ |
- ASTM F2413-05 (Type I) – 1 x

Calibration Test Unit VESF59 & VESF59/A
|
|
The user
can ensure that the Sole-Mate is measuring the desired resistance threshold
|
|
on-site using the optional Calibration Test Unit.
ÿ
|
|
National Standard Calibration Service
|
|
The
Calibration Test Unit may be returned to your supplier for yearly checking
using
|
|
equipment traceable to national standards. A new calibration
certificate will be issued.

|
Alternative Versions
|
|
It may
be possible to supply the Sole-Mate set to alternative measurement settings,
by
|
|
special order.
