Analog Surface Resistance Test Kit
Description
The Desco Analog Surface Resistance Test Kit is
a portable battery-powered instrument designed to measure resistance point-to-point (RTT) and surface to ground (RTG). The meter is equipped with an automatic test voltage selector. The test voltage will switch from 10V to 100V should the measured resistance exceed
10E5 ohms.
ESD protected area products should be tested:
A. Prior to installation to qualify for listing in user’s ESD
control plan. Approved ESD materials (see product qualification table at ANSI/ESD S20.20-2007 Table 3 EPA ESD control items)
B. During initial installation
C. For periodic checks of installed products as part of
ANSI/ESD S20.20-2007 Compliance Verification

“A Compliance Verification Plan shall be established
to ensure the Organization’s fulfillment of the technical requirements of the ESD Control Program Plan. Process monitoring (measurements) shall be conducted in accordance with a Compliance Verification Plan that

A. Analog Display: Displays surface resistance measurements from 10E3 - 10E13 ohms.
B. Resistance Property LEDs: Color-coded LEDs that provide quick-check resistance indicators.
C. Test Button: Hold this button down to operate the Analog Surface Resistance meter.
D. Low Battery LED: Illuminates when the battery power drops below 5.5V.
E. Test Voltage Button: Test voltage will automatically switch from 10V to 100V when set to AUTO. Test voltage will stay at 10V HOLD when set to 10V.
Operation
Compliance Verification Test Procedure Guideline The ESD Association lists test procedures and
troubleshooting tips in Compliance Verification ESD NOTE: The test kit can be used to measure RTG and RTT of shelves, garments, floor and cart worksurfaces using test procedures similar to worksurfaces and foot grounders.
MEASURE WORKSURFACE RESISTANCE TO GROUND (RTG)
Do not clean the surface.
Remove all ESD sensitive items from the surface
and items that might interfere with the test.Connect one lead banana plug to ground.

MEASURE WORKSURFACE RESISTANCE POINT-TO-POINT ON THE SURFACE (RTT)1. Do not clean the surface.
2. Remove all ESD sensitive items from the surface
and items that might interfere with the test.
3. Use two 5 pound electrodes and place them 10"
apart on the most frequently used area of the
surface (2" from any edge, 3" from any groundable point).
4. If the most used area of the surface is not obvious,
use two points near the center of the surface.5. Set the Test Voltage Button to AUTO. Press and
hold the TEST button until the measurement is displayed (see Figure 4).
RECOMMENDED FREQUENCY OF PERIODIC COMPLIANCE VERIFICATION OF INSTALLED PRODUCTS
The ESD Association lists test procedures and
troubleshooting tips in Compliance Verification ESD TR53.NOTE: “The frequency of periodic testing is normally
specified in corporate operating procedures. …The frequency of testing is driven by the amount of risk exposure that can occur between tests. For example, what is the quantity of product handled between test periods?” (See ESD Handbook ESD TR20.20)
A GUIDE FOR PERIODIC TESTING
? Worksurface, Carts, Shelves - at least quarterly (see ESD TR20.20 section 5.3.1.13 Periodic Tests)
? Footwear - “Incoming inspection on a lot sampling basis should be performed for all static control footwear.” (see ESD TR20.20 section 5.3.3.4 Testing)
? Floor - “In some cases, a simple electrical resistance test with a megohmmeter may suffice. In others, a static charge generation test may be required. The frequency of testing is also a consideration. Some materials, such as floor finishes, may require more frequent testing because Figure 4.
