Digital Surface Resistance Meter Kit
Installation, Operation and Maintenance
Description
The Statguard Flooring
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 is referenced and
designed to be used to make measurements in
accordance with the test procedures in:
• Compliance Verification - ESD TR53 - Resistance
Measurements
• Worksurfaces - ANSI/ESD S4.1 Worksurfaces
• Floors - ANSI/ESD S7.1- Resistive Characterization
of Materials Floor Materials
• Foot Grounders - ESD SP9.2 - Foot Grounders
Resistive Characterization
• Garments - ANSI/ESD STM2.1 Garments

“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 this 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)
