RTG test method
This procedure measures the surface resistance between a
ground point on the material surface and specific positions
on the material being tested. This procedure complies with
the EOS/ESD S4.1 standard.
1. Meter set-up: with both test leads connected to the
meter, attach the alligator clip to one lead and the
other to the one of the 5lb probe.
2. Attach the alligator clip to a known ground point.
3. Position the probe on the surface to be tested in accor-
dance with the desired test procedure.
4. Press the test button until the resistivity, humidity and
temperature test values are displayed on the LCD
screen.
5. These readings will conform to: EIA, EOS/ESD ANSI,
IEC-93 CECC and ASTM test procedures.
Note: When performing test, especially with high resis-
tance materials be sure the test lead wires do not touch or
overlap and that your hands are not in contact with the
probes or wires during the actual testing of the materials.
This will ensure accurate readings.
