6. Operation
CAUTION
•
During measurement with this product, a trace amount of current flows to the human body. People
with a weak heart or those using a cardiac pacemaker should not use this product.
•
Users that are pregnant, please refer to the technical document "FG-465 Information Regarding
Safety to the Human Body" which can be found on our homepage (https://doc.hakko.com) and
consult with the proper medical specialist.
Measurement
(1) Turn the power switch ON. The preset pass range indicator LED lights.
(2) Put on the anti-static footwear, and step onto the test plate making sure that the correct
foot is on the correct side.
(3) Gently press the pad with three fingers as shown in the figure below.
(4) The left foot is measured first followed by the right foot.
Note
Measurement of the left foot is started from the center of the preset pass range or from
just above the center (when range LED indicates an even number).
Example: When pass range is 0.1 MΩ ≤ R ≤ 1000 MΩ, measurement is started from the
10 MΩ ≤ R ≤ 100 MΩ range.
Note
Measurement of the right foot starts from the range finalized by measurement of the left
foot. If there is no problem with the footwear, the range movement becomes minimum.
This results in a shorter measurement time.
(5) The pass/fail result is displayed.
Note
If you move your hand away from the pad before measurement is completed, the
buzzer sounds three times.
Pass/Fail results will not be shown. Repeat the measurement.
(6) After you have confirmed the pass/fail result, move your hand away from the pad, and step
off the test plate.
Note
If you move your feet on the test plate or contact between your fingers and the pad is
poor, this may result in false measurement.
During measurement stay still on the test plate and firmly place three fingers on the pad.
* This product can be used without being grounded. However, we recommend grounding the GND terminal (for
details on terminal position, see "4. Names of Parts") on the left side of the body.
When PASS LED lights
This indicates that the anti-static footwear is in a normal state.
The level indicator LED lights which indicates which range the resistance value of the footwear is in.
This also allows you to check the properties of the anti-static footwear.
