SmartLog V4
Installation, Operation and Maintenance
Description
The patented* EMIT SmartLog V4 Data Acquisition System
is designed for fast, frequent, and accurate testing of ESD
personnel grounding items. By touching the electrode button
once the SmartLog V4 tests the resistance path limits of the
worn wrist strap and both worn ESD footwear independently
within one second. (Or worn ESD garment if it is used as part
of personnel grounding path). Test results are electronically
stored in the SmartLog V4 and are 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 V4 is a complete system
including all required components. Operator identification
can be accomplished by using the keypad, swiping a barcode
card, or waving a proximity card (verify compatibility with the
factory).
The SmartLog V4 can test either single or dual-wire wrist
straps; the split footplate design allows for individual footwear
testing all in one test. If a resistance path is below or exceeds
the set limits failure will be noted via audio and visual alarms.
Passing tests can enable a relay for automated door openers.
However, if the user desires to test the wrist strap and ESD
footwear separately this can be accomplished. The wrist
strap test is activated by inserting wrist strap plug into the
designated jack. See
for more
information on setting individual test requirements.
As many as 32 SmartLogs can be daisy-chained and
connected to one computer allowing data to be collected
to one central computer for all SmartLogs. The SmartLog
V4 can also be networked to a company’s Intranet with
the optional 50461 Ethernet Adapter. The SmartLog V4 is
calibrated to NIST traceable standards.

The SmartLog V4’s default Wrist Strap test range is 1 - 10
megohms, and the default Footwear test range is 1 - 35
megohms. The ranges are easily adjusted.

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 S20.20-2007) section 7.3
ANSI/ESD S20.20 Table 1 Flooring-Footwear Systems
Technical Requirements Recommended Range “less than 3.5
x 10E7 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)
Carefully unpack the SmartLog. The SmartLog comes ready to
install without any changes to the clock’s configuration.
If multiple SmartLogs are to be installed in a daisy-chain
configuration refer to page 5 for instructions.
