Combo Tester X3+

Installation, Operation and Maintenance

Description

The Desco Combo Tester X3+ verifies the functionality 

of personnel grounding devices (wrist straps

1

, foot 

grounders, ESD shoes, smocks

2

). Three independent 

tests are performed simultaneously on the wrist strap 

and each foot. Test prompts and test results with 

resistance measurements are displayed on the 5 inch 

color touchscreen display. The administrator menu in 

the tester’s software may be accessed for test limit 

preferences. Access control to an ESD Protected Area 

can be further enforced by using the relay terminal on 

the Combo Tester X3+ and connecting it to an electronic 

door lock or turnstile to grant access only to those who 

have passed their personal grounding device tests. The 

Combo Tester X3+ is calibrated to NIST standards and 

includes a certificate.
