4. Kneel or squat on the first runner section with the connector tabs in front of you and pull the next runner
section towards you until its edges aligns with the edge of the first runner section. (Figure 5)

5. Drop it in place so the tubular cells of the second section fit into the connector holes on the tabs of the first
section. Use a repeated ‘patting’ motion with the palms of your hands to seat the cells into the connector
holes until the adjacent section surfaces are flush with each other. Repeat this process proceeding down the
runner length until the entire runner is connected. (Figures 6 & 7)

Note: You may remove individual sections as needed for cleaning and replace them without disturbing other
sections of the runner, or you may roll-up the connected sections from one end, clean, and then roll it out
again. Minor repositioning of the runner and connections may be required from time to time.
6. Attach the supplied ground cord to the snap on the mat.
7. Connect the terminal on the other end of the ground cord to an approved ESD ground.
Note: If the mat is being placed on an ESD conductive/dissipative tile or epoxy flooring it may not be
necessary to connect a ground cord to the mat. The ESD flooring may be able to provide a sufficient
ESD ground path for the mat. Verify the surface to ground resistance following measurement method
outlined in ESD Standard ANSI/ESD S7.1. This can be done using the 3M
™
Test Kit 701, which includes a
megohmmeter and electrodes (see Optional Accessories section) or an equivalent measurement system.
