DUAL INDEPENDENT FOOTWEAR AND WRIST STRAP TESTER
Installation and Operating Instructions
The Semtronics Dual Independent Footwear and Wrist Strap Tester is designed to test personal
grounding devices, wrist strap and ESD footwear, to satisfy the requirements and the
recommendations of the ESD Association.
Per ANSI/ESD S20.20 Paragraph 6.2.2.2 Personnel Grounding Guidance “A log should be
maintained which verifies that personnel have tested their personal grounding devices. (Wrist
Straps and ESD Footwear)”
Per ESD- S1.1 paragraph 6.1.3 Frequency of Functional Testing “The wrist strap system should be
tested daily to ensure proper electrical value.”
Per ESD Handbook TR 20.20 paragraph 5.3.2.4.2 Additional User Wrist Strap Testing “Proper
testing of the wrist strap includes the resistance of the groundable point on the end of the cord, the
cord itself, the resistor, the cord-to cuff snap connector, the resistance of the interface of the cuff,
the cuff/wrist interface, and the resistance of the person between the wrist and the hand that
contacts the test electrode.”
Per ESD Handbook TR 20.20 paragraph 5.3.2.2.2 Wrist Strap Ground Cord “At first glance, the
ground cord appears to be a relatively simple assembly. However, the design requirements are
considerable, given the wide range of user applications and the durability requirements of constant
tugging, flexing, and dragging over the edge of workstation tops and equipment chassis.”
Per ESD SP9.2 Appendix B – Foot Grounder Usage Guidance
“Compliance verification should be performed prior to each use ( daily, shift change, etc.). The accumulation
of insulative materials may increase the foot grounder system resistance. If foot grounders are worn outside
