Installation
Remove the meter from the carton and
inspect for damage. Each unit should
be fully charged and includes:
1 MiniMeg Pocket Megohmmeter
1 Surface-to-Ground, cord assembly
1 Installed 9V battery
Properly store the meter and its
component assemblies when not in
use.
Operation
The MiniMeg will perform Surface
and Surface-to-Ground resistance
measurements. Work surfaces and
materials to be tested should be
cleaned prior to testing to ensure that
surface dirt and contamination do not
affect results. It is recommended that
non-silicone based cleaners such as
ESD Systems.com ‘REZTORE’
Surface and Mat Cleaner be used for
regular cleaning of ESD protective
work surfaces. When non-ESD
surfaces are being used, ‘Reztore’
Topical Antistat is recommended for
eliminating static charge generation.
The MiniMeg has not been designed
to meet ESD S4.1 test equipment
requirements and therefore
measurements obtained with this
device may not agree with
measurements taken according to the
ESD S4.1 test procedure. This test
instrument is intended for use only as
an auxiliary tool for monitoring
surface resistance performance. If you
are interested in obtaining a meter
which does meet all the test
equipment requirements of ESD S4.1,
we recommend our model 41290
Surface Resistance Test Kit. For more
information on this product ask for
tech brief PS-2111.

Operation and Maintenance
Figure 1. 41256 MiniMeg Pocket Megohmmeter
The ESD Systems.com MiniMeg
Pocket Megohmmeter is a portable
test instrument designed for measuring
both surface and surface-to-ground
resistance of static dissipative and
conductive materials. Seven color-
coded LEDs, read from right to left,
easily identify static dissipative and
conductive ranges. The MiniMeg will
test materials with surface resistivity
of 1x10
5
- 1x10
10
Ohms/sq. This test
instrument is ideally suited for Quality
Control and Field Service personnel as
well as for use in routine auditing of
your ESD protective materials. The
MiniMeg features simple one-button
operation and a 9V battery for
constant use and maximum portability.
This state-of-the-art, auto-ranging
instrument provides top performance,
yet weighs only six ounces. The high-
impact plastic case ensures durability
despite the meter’s light weight.
