Wrist Strap Tester
Wrist strap tester EX498
is ideal for the manufacturing environment.
Antistatic wrist straps can fail to perform. ESD ground cords get
stressed from prolonged use and can break open inside the insulation. Because you can't see whether your antistatic wrist strap is performing properly, it should
be tested regularly. Electronics professionals should test their wrist straps at least once per day at the beginning of their work shift. Depending on the quality
standards at your company, more frequent testing may be necessary. This portable antistatic wrist strap tester is perfect for on the spot testing of antistatic
wrist straps as part of your quality control program.
Antistatic wrist strap tester EX498 provides simple and reliable tests.
- The operator wears the wrist strap band on their wrist.
- Insert the banana plug on the end of the wrist strap ground cord into the jack located on the top of the wrist strap tester.
- The operator then pushes the metal pushbutton on the wrist strap tester.
- The tester measures the resistance of the ground path from the skin of the operator through the ground cord of the wrist strap.
- A properly operating wrist strap will show a "GOOD" LED indication on the antistatic wrist strap tester. If either of the "LOW" or "HIGH" red
LED's light, and the audible indicator sounds, then either the wrist strap or its ground cord is faulty.
- If either fault is indicated, the included test ground cord (shown) can be used to isolate the fault to either the wrist strap itself, or the original
wrist strap ground cord.
- The faulty piece should be discarded and replaced with a new one.
