AC Outlet Analyzer and Wrist Strap Tester
Installation, Operation and Maintenance
Description
Desco’s AC Outlet Analyzer and Wrist Strap Tester verifies
the proper wiring of AC outlets, provides a grounding point,
and tests the path-to-ground integrity of an operator’s wrist
strap. Visual and audible indicators display pass and fail
conditions for the outlet and pass condition for the wrist
strap. When plugged into an AC outlet, the green LED
illuminates to confirm that both the outlet’s wiring is correct
and the path to equipment ground via the equipment
grounding conductor is intact. The banana jack provides
a grounding point for wrist straps. An operator that is
wearing and using the grounding point can touch the metal
button to determine if the operator’s wrist strap will act as a
path-to-ground and ensure the presence of a current-limiting
resistor in the wrist strap.
The factory test ranges are set to:
