Digital Surface Resistance Meter Kit
Installation, Operation and Maintenance
Description
The Vermason
222642
Digital Surface Resistance Meter
Kit is an instrument designed to measure resistance
point-to-point (Rp-p) or surface to ground (Rg) in accordance
with EN 61340-5-1 Electrostatics and its test method IEC
61340-2-3.
Its test functions include:
• Resistance measurement accuracy of ±10%
(±20% for resistance values 1 x 10
11
ohms and greater)
• Resistance range of <1 x 10
3
ohms to >1 x 10
12
ohms
• Under load voltages of 10 and 100 volts ±5%
• Electrification period of approximately 15 seconds
The Digital Surface Resistance Meter also measures ambient
temperature and relative humidity.
NOTE: Volume Resistance can be measured using one 2 kg
Electrode and a flat conductive metal plate (not included).
The Digital Surface Resistance Meter Kit and its accessories
are available in the following item numbers:

Kit
The Surface Resistance Meter Kit (or its Meter) is referenced
and designed to be used to make measurements in
accordance with the test procedures in:
• Working surfaces, storage racks, trolleys and seating -
IEC 61340-2-3
• Flooring - IEC 61340-4-1
• Garments - ANSI/ESD STM2.1 Garments
• Person/footwear / flooring system - IEC 61340-4-5
“A compliance verification plan shall be established to ensure
the Organization’s fulfilment of the technical requirements
of the plan. Process monitoring (measurements) shall be
conducted in accordance with a compliance verification
plan that identifies the technical requirements to be verified,
the measurement limits and the frequency at which those
verifications shall occur. The compliance verification plan
must document the test methods and equipment used for
process monitoring and measurements. If the organization
uses test methods that differ from the standards referenced
in this standard, the organization must be able to show that
the results achieved correlate with the referenced standards.
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.”
(IEC 61340-5-1 Edition 1 2007-08 clause 5.2.3 Compliance
verification plan)
