It indicates that the resistance of the anti-static shoes and the person wearing them is inside 

the set range. The resistance range of the shoes at that time is indicated by the LED lamps, 

therefore the characteristics of the anti-static shoes can be checked.

It indicates that the resistance of the anti-static shoes and the person wearing them is outside the 

set range. Determine the cause and take actions including replacing the anti-static shoes, etc.

If the measured value is below the lower limit
Example: Soles are worn down.

A piece of metal is stuck in the sole.

If the measured value is above the upper limit
Example: Thick socks are worn.

Defective shoes, dirty soles, etc.

5. The evaluation result will be displayed.

6. After checking the evaluation result, remove your hand from the pad and step off of the test plate.

* Although the HAKKO FG-460 can be used without being connected to ground, depending 

on conditions the ground terminal on the left side of the HAKKO FG-460 (refer to the 

"4. PART NAMES" for the terminal location) can be connected to ground.

During measurement, the HAKKO FG-460 passes a very small amount of electric current 

through a person's body. People who have weak hearts or are using a pacemaker should 

not use the HAKKO FG-460.

1. Set power switch to ON. The indicator LEDs for the set pass range will light.

2. Put on the anti-static shoes and step on the test plate, being careful not to mix up left 

and right shoes.

3. Gently press on the pad of the HAKKO FG-460 main unit with three fingers.

4. The left foot will be measured first, followed by the right foot.

Measurement

Example: 

If the pass range is 0.1 MΩ 

 R 

 1000 MΩ, measurement will start from 

10 MΩ 

 R 

 100 MΩ.

Settings such as upper and lower evaluation limits, evaluation buzzer, etc. can be made by setting 

the DIP switches on the back of the HAKKO FG-460 main unit ON or OFF.

About evaluation external output

There is an external output terminal on the left side of the HAKKO FG-460 main unit. 

The evaluation result can be output from this terminal.

The output circuit is as shown below. The DIP switches can be set to perform output 

when evaluation result is PASS or FAIL.

Since the evaluation external output is photocoupler output, please add driver circuitry

when large current is necessary such as connecting to relay.

JIS T 8103 defines different standard values for conductive shoes, general-purpose 

anti-static shoes, and special anti-static shoes. The pass range setting corresponding to 

each type of shoe can be set by changing the DIP switch settings.

* Use terminals 1 and 2 for external 

output. 

(Refer to the

 

“4. PART NAMES”

regarding terminal 3.)

• About connecting to terminal block

Example: When connecting wire directly

Use a wire size corresponding to the suitable wire.

Strip off 10 mm of the insulation from the end of the 

wire and twist the wire end together.

The terminal block has a release hole and a terminal 

insertion hole. (Refer to figure at right.) Insert a tool 

such as a screwdriver, etc. into the release hole. (a)

 The pass range LEDs do not light.

 The buzzer just sounds 3 times

: Is the AC adapter and/or connecting cable disconnected?

: Connect it.

: Is the DIP switch settings are correct?

: Refer to the DIP switch settings table and set the 

DIP switches ON and OFF.

: Was your hand released from the pad too quickly?

: Keep your hand on the pad until the evaluation 

result of PASS or FAIL is finalized.

: Is the connecting cable fully inserted to the main unit?

: Properly plug in the connecting cable.

If a problem other than those listed above occurs or if the problem continues even after 

performing the solution, contact the dealer from which you purchased the product.

HAKKO FG-460

Output time: ON for 1 second after evaluation

Measurement of the left foot will start from the center of the pass range or one step below the 

center (if the LED range is even). 

Measurement of the right foot will start from the range used for measurement of the left foot. 

Doing this reduces measurement time because if there are no problems with the shoes the shift 

in range will be minimal.

If you remove your hand from the pad before measurement is completed, a buzzer will sound 

3 times and the evaluation result will not be shown. Perform measurement again.

Moving your feet while on the test plate or not making full contact with your fingers on the pad 

can result in an incorrect evaluation. During measurement, remain still on the test plate and

press the pad firmly with 3 fingers.

At the time of shipment from the factory, 

all switches are set to OFF.

(Pass range is 0.1 MΩ ≤ R ≤ 100 MΩ.)

Be sure to set the power switch to OFF before changing DIP switch settings.

If the wire end is pre-soldered, proper connection 

will not be possible.
