To show that "Footwear in series" is activated the red LED's for Hi-Fail of Footwear
flash for a short time every 2s, while disspative shoes are not detected.
The footwear test can be accomplished hands free, without touching a electrode.
This is useful in combination with passenger handling gates. The resistance is
measured between the two shoes. This mode cannot directly indicate the faulty shoe.
Press the Shoe electrode on the instrument to identify it.
Stand with both feet onto the foot electrode. If the shoes are dissipative the
measurement starts automatically. After a short measuring time the result is
displayed and the connected gate will open.
You can step of the foot electrode.
Even if footwear in series is active, you can perform a test according chapter 4.1 to
chapter 4.4 by pressing a electrode, for example to identify a bad shoe.
