Maintenance
The area surrounding the cable jacks at the top end of
the meter should be wiped with a clean cloth moistened
with alcohol to remove skin oils that will accumulate and
affect the accuracy at high resistances. The frequency of
cleaning will depend on usage; once a month would be a
good starting point.
Per ANSI/ESD S4.1 “Clean the electrodes with a minimum
70% isopropanol-water solu tion.” Make sure conductive
pads are dry prior to use.
See specific product test standard for test lab specimen
cleaning instructions. Per ANSI/ESD S4.1 Worksurfaces
“The test specimens and electrodes shall be cleaned twice
with a minimum 70% isopropanol-water solution using a
clean, low-linting cloth each time.” (then conditioned for a
minimum of 72 hours).
For compliance verification testing, do not clean surfaces.
However, if any measurements lie outside acceptable
range, then clean the material’s surface and re-test.
NOTE: For worksurfaces, use Desco Item# 10435
Reztore™ Antistatic Surface and Mat Cleaner or other
silicone-free ESD cleaner. Be sure the surface is dry before
testing.
The Surface Resistance Checker requires little
maintenance, and there are no user serviceable parts. If
your unit requires service beyond cleaning the electrodes
or replacing the batteries, please contact Desco Customer
Service.
