SmartLog Pro™
Installation, Operation and Maintenance
Description
The patented* EMIT 50780 SmartLog Pro™ system is
designed for fast, frequent, and accurate testing of ESD
personnel grounding items. Its unique design embeds
an ESD tester, computer, touchscreen display, proximity
badge reader and barcode scanner into a compact
metal enclosure.
By touching the solid-state switch once, the SmartLog
Pro™ independently tests the resistance path limits of
the worn wrist strap and both worn ESD footwear in less
than 2 seconds. It may also test a worn ESD garment
if it is used as part of personnel grounding path. Test
results are electronically stored in the SmartLog Pro™
and easily downloaded to a PC for logging records
and evaluation. This product can be used as one of
the tools to fulfill the ANSI/ESD S20.20 section 7.3
“Compliance Verification Plan.”
Paperless data can enhance operator accountability,
immediately identifying problems while reducing logging
and auditing costs. There is no need to dedicate a
computer for each test station. The SmartLog Pro™ is
a complete system including all required components.
Operator identification can be accomplished using the
touchscreen keypad, scanning a barcode badge or
waving a proximity badge (verify compatibility with the
factory).

Figure 1. EMIT 50780 SmartLog Pro™
The SmartLog Pro™ can test either single or dual-wire
wrist straps and its split footplate design provides
individual footwear testing all in a single test. With
the use of TEAM5 Software, the SmartLog Pro™ can
be programmed to assign unique test requirements to
personnel. An individual can be required to test either
wrist strap only, footwear only or a combination of the
two.
If a resistance path is below or exceeds the set limits,
the SmartLog Pro™ will indicate failure via audio and
visual alarms. Use the included relay terminal to
promote access control for passed tests.
The SmartLog Pro™ can also be networked to a
company’s Intranet using its embedded Ethernet
module. The SmartLog Pro™ is calibrated to NIST
traceable standards.
ESD Association Information
“Compliance verification should be performed prior to
each use (daily, shift change, etc.). The accumulation
of insulative materials may increase the foot grounder
system resistance. If foot grounders are worn outside
the ESD protected area testing for functionality
before reentry to the ESD protected area should be
considered.” ESD SP9.2 APPENDIX B - Foot Grounder
Usage Guidance
“Process monitoring (measurements) shall be conducted
in accordance with a Compliance Verification Plan that
identifies the technical requirements to be verified, the
measurements limits and the frequency at which those
verifications shall occur...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
ANSI/ESD S20.20 Table 1 Flooring-Footwear Systems
Technical Requirements Recommended Range “less
than 3.5 x 10
7
ohms measured per ANSI/ESD STM
97.1.”
“Typical test programs recommend that wrist straps that
are used daily should be tested daily. However, if the
products that are being produced are of such value that
knowledge of a continuous, reliable ground is needed,
and then continuous monitoring should be considered or
even required.” (ESD Handbook ESD TR 20.20 section
5.3.2.4.4)
Note: SmartLog Pro™ provides wrist strap test per
IEC 61340-5-1 Clause A.1 and footwear testing per
IEC 61340-5-1 Clause A.2 with upper limits < 3.5 x 10
7
ohms.
