OPERATOR TESTING INSTRUCTIONS WHEN USING THE COMPUTER
1.
If you have a barcode/magnetic stripe scanner or a HID/CASI-RUSCO
proximity reader, simply swipe the card.
Otherwise click a name in the main selection window to begin a test. If no mouse is installed, press the arrow keys to
move the cursor and press Enter. The operator’s information window should appear and the ‘Press Button’ window should
also pop up.
2.
Insert the wrist strap banana plug into the reader. Be sure the strap is in snug contact with the wrist. Dry skin, hair or
foreign contaminants may cause failures for in-specification, well functioning wrist straps. ESD hand lotions will improve
skin contact with wrist straps. Stand on the footplate making sure that each foot is aligned in the left and right stainless
steel pad and not touching both foot plates. Press and hold the combo tester button until the PRESS BUTTON window
disappears and the test measurements are displayed on the main window. All the results and any error messages should
be displayed (if software is enabled all readings will instantaneously be recorded in the database).
3.
Click the ‘Cancel button’ (or press Enter key) to return to the ‘Name Selection’ menu. This will be automatic (adjustable 10
second delay) when using cards and by checking off the ‘USE ID’ and ‘DON’T SHOW NAMES’ under ‘General
Configuration’.
The ESD foot-grounding device may be out of specification for the following reasons: poor skin-tab contact, dirt contamination,
broken internal resistor, broken leads, etc.
Troubleshooting high wrist readings:
1.
Make sure the ground cord is attached to the wrist strap.
2.
Make sure the end of the ground cord is plugged into the appropriate banana jack located on the front of the Combo-Tester
meter. The US female jack is on the left side and the constant monitoring 3.5 mm stereo plug is on the right side.
3.
Be sure the strap is in snug contact with the wrist. Dry skin, hair or foreign contaminants may cause failures for in-
specification, well functioning wrist straps. ESD hand lotions will improve skin contact with wrist straps.
4.
Be sure the wrist strap is not dirty
5.
Make sure the metal test plate button is fully depressed until an LED illuminates
6.
For non-USB testers, if not using an external power supply or the RS232 battery charging option, then check for a low
battery condition and replace if needed. Do not insert a battery if using an external power supply.
Troubleshooting low wrist readings:
Replace wrist strap or check the wrist strap internal resistor reading
Troubleshooting high foot readings:
1.
Make sure each foot is firmly touching its own foot plate
2.
Make sure foot straps are not over insulative polyester socks or stockings
3.
Make sure the footplate lead is plugged
all the way
into the combo tester socket “Heel Plate.”
Troubleshooting low foot readings:
1.
Make sure each foot is only touching its own foot plate
2.
Make sure shoes are not wet.
3.
Replace foot strap or check the foot strap internal resistor reading
4.
Make sure the footplate lead is plugged
all the way
into the combo tester socket “Heel Plate.”
