Demonstration #2 Performance of a Wrist Strap
1. Hold the cylinder electrode in one hand and perform normal body movements (e.g., sitting down, standing up,
walking back and forth, etc.), experienced in the work environment. Observe voltage variations on the 3M
™
Charge Analyzer 711.
2. Now attach a static control wrist strap to the arm and connect to an earth/electrical ground as recommended
by the manufacturer. Perform the same body movements and observe the reduced or eliminated voltage
variations on the charge analyzer.
Note: Properly performing ESD control wrist straps must be able to eliminate static charging on a person.
Demonstration #3 Performance of an ESD Control Flooring
1. Stand on a non-static control flooring (e.g., mat, tile, epoxy, etc.).
2. Hold the cylinder electrode in one hand and perform normal body movements (e.g., sitting down, standing
up, walking back and forth, etc.), experienced in the work environment. Observe voltage variations on the
analyzer.
3. Now stand on a static control flooring (e.g., mat, tile, epoxy, etc.) using ESD control footwear/straps.
4. Hold the cylinder electrode in one hand and perform some body movements and observe reduced or
eliminated voltage variations on the analyzer.
Note: Properly performing ESD control flooring in conjunction with ESD control footwear/straps must be
able to minimize and quickly drain electrical charges developed by a person.
