Figure 5. Performing a footwear and wrist strap test
3. Follow the prompt on the SmartLog’s display.
4. When performing a footwear test, be sure to place
both feet on the dual foot plate (one foot per plate).
NOTE: Keep the foot plate clean with 99% isopropyl
alcohol when using the 1 Gigohm high test limit. A
dirty foot plate could yield a false pass.
When performing a wrist strap* test, be sure to
completely plug in the wrist cord into the tester’s
jack.
5. To begin the test, use your finger to bridge the test
switch’s inner and outer contacts. The blue standby
LED will become solid to indicate that the test has
been initiated. Hold your finger down until the test
results are displayed on the touchscreen.
If your finger is removed too early, the tester’s blue
LEDs will blink three times to indicate that the test
was not completed. DO NOT touch any metal other
than the SmartLog Pro® SE or the turnstile while
performing your test as this will affect your results.

6. The relay terminal will activate and unlock the
turnstile if the defined tests are passed.
NOTE: Failures may be caused by dry skin or
minimal sweat layer. For wrist straps, try using an
approved dissipative hand lotion such as Reztore™
ESD Hand Lotion prior to use. Footwear test results
can be improved by taking a short walk to build a
sweat layer for better conductivity.
7. Pass through the turnstile. The turnstile will re-lock
after one rotation.
NOTE: The turnstile will remain unlocked until either
the operator passes through or 15 seconds expire.
*The SmartLog Pro® SE may also be used to
test smocks or garments that feature a grounding
mechanism for operators using a coiled cord
connection.
