Analog Surface Resistance Test Kit
Operation and Maintenance
Description
The Desco Analog Surface Resistance Test Kit is
a portable battery-powered instrument designed to
measure resistance point-to-point (RTT) and surface to
ground (RTG). The meter is equipped with an automatic
test voltage selector. The test voltage will switch from
10V to 100V should the measured resistance exceed 1 x
10
5
ohms.
ESD protected area products should be tested:
A. Prior to installation to qualify for listing in user’s ESD
control plan. Approved ESD materials (see product
qualification table at ANSI/ESD S20.20 Table 3
EPA ESD control items)
B. During initial installation
C. For periodic checks of installed products as part of
ANSI/ESD S20.20 Compliance Verification testing
per ESD TR53.
Compliance Verification Plan
“A Compliance Verification Plan shall be established
to ensure the Organization’s fulfillment of the technical
requirements of the ESD Control Program 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 and equipment
used for process monitoring and measurements. If
the test methods used by the Organization differ from
any of the standards referenced in the document, then
there must be a tailoring statement that is documented
as part of the ESD Control Program Plan. 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.” (ANSI/ESD S20.20 section 7.3)
The Analog Surface Resistance Meter and its
accessories are available as the following item numbers:
