Process monitoring 2 grounders, ESD shoes, smocks ). Three independent (measurements) shall be conducted in accordance tests are performed simultaneously on the wrist strap with a Compliance Verification Plan that identifies the and each foot. Green lights indicate a pass condition. technical requirements to be verified, the measurement Red and yellow lights plus an audible alarm indicate limits and the frequency at which those verifications when the wrist strap and/or footwear (left or right) have shall occur. The Compliance Verification Plan shall failed. DIP switches may be accessed for test limit document the test methods and equipment used for preferences. Access control to an ESD Protected Area process monitoring and measurements. The test can be further enforced by using the relay terminal on equipment selected shall be capable of making the the Combo Tester X3 and connecting it to an electronic measurements defined in the Compliance Verification door lock or turnstile to grant access only to those who Plan. have passed their personal grounding device tests. The Combo Tester X3 is calibrated to NIST standards and Per ANSI/ESD S1.1 Annex A.3 Frequency of System includes a certificate. Testing The wrist strap system should be tested daily to ensure proper electrical resistance. Desco Combo Tester X3 Technology The solid-state touch test switch maintains test Compliance verification should be performed prior to accuracy and extends the lifetime of the tester each use (daily, shift change, etc.). The accumulation The 30 volt test signal increases test reliability of insulative materials may increase the foot grounder Pairs with the EMIT 50755 ESD Glove Test Fixture system resistance. If foot grounders are worn outside to test operators that wear ESD gloves or finger cots the ESD protected area testing for functionality per Compliance Verification required by ESD TR53 before reentry to the ESD protected area should be considered. (ESD SP9.2 APPENDIX B - Foot Grounder The factory test limits are set to: Usage Guidance) Wrist Straps: 750 kilohms and 10 megohms Footwear: 750 kilohms and 35 megohms 1. The Combo Tester X3 can verify single-wire and dual-wire wrist (See page 3 for alternate test limit settings) straps. 2. The Combo Tester X3 will also test a Groundable Static Control Garment System. The Groundable Static Control Garment System must have an RTG of < 3.5 x 10 ohms to meet the required limit of ANSI/ESD S20.20 tested per ANSI/ESD STM2.1 and ESD TR53.
