Digital Surface Resistance Meter Kit
Installation, Operation and Maintenance
Description
The Desco
19290
Digital Surface Resistance Meter
Kit is an instrument designed to measure resistance
point-to-point (Rtt) or surface to ground (Rtg).
Its test functions include:
• Resistance measurement accuracy of ±10 %
(±20 % accuracy for 1 x 10
12
ohms and greater)
• Resistance range of <1 x 10
3
ohms to >1 x 10
12
ohms
• Under load voltages of 10 and 100 volts ±5 %
• Electrification period of approximately 15 seconds
The Digital Surface Resistance Meter also measures
ambient temperature and relative humidity. Up to 100
measurements may be stored and recalled from the
meter's internal memory. This includes the resistance
value, temperature, relative humidity and test voltage at
the time of the measurement.

The Surface Resistance Meter Kit (or its Meter) is referenced
and designed to be used to make measurements in
accordance with the test procedures in:
• Working surfaces, storage racks, trolleys and seating -
IEC 61340-2-3
• Flooring - IEC 61340-4-1
• Garments - ANSI/ESD STM2.1 Garments
• Person/footwear / flooring system - IEC 61340-4-5
“A compliance verification plan shall be established to
ensure the organization’s fulfilment of the requirements
of the plan. Process monitoring (measurements) shall be
conducted in accordance with a compliance verification
plan that identifies the technical requirements to be
verified, the measurement limits and the frequency at
which those verifications shall occur. The compliance
verification plan shall document the test methods
used for process monitoring and measurements. If the
organization uses different test methods to replace
those of this standard, the organization shall be able
to show that the results achieved correlate with the
referenced standards. Where test methods are devised
for testing items not covered in this standard, these shall
be adequately documented including corresponding
test limits. Compliance verification records shall be
established and maintained to provide evidence of
conformity to the technical requirements. The test
equipment selected shall be capable of making the
measurements defined in the compliance verification
plan.” (EN 61340-5-1 clause 5.2.4 Compliance
verification plan)
