Chapter 6: Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Wrist Straps
- Wrist straps fit snugly around a person’s wrist and are connected
to an ESD ground point (never earth ground) or to a grounded mat. A poor
connection with a wrist strap is associated with a loose fit or dry skin (use an
ESD lotion for dry skin). A wrist strap may be used if an approved ESD smock is
not available. However, wrist straps do not shield ESD sensitive components
from damage induced by the wearer’s clothing.
Heel Straps
- Heel straps should be placed so that they make contact with a
person’s ankle. Static charges are dissipated through the floor by means of a
Conductive Flooring. When seated, heel straps do not offer the protections
required to dissipate a static charge.
ESD Lotion
- ESD lotion provides a better connection between the user and a
smock, heel strap or wrist strap. This may need to be reapplied if the smock or
straps are removed.
Smocks
- ESD smocks are designed to dissipate static fields created by a
wearer’s shirt. These must be worn at all times within an ESD Sensitive area. All
buttons must be secured when working. Smocks are to be connected to an ESD
ground point (never earth ground) or to a grounded mat. While the smock is
connected and properly grounded, wrist straps are unnecessary.
ESD Chairs
- ESD chairs have a ground strap which comes in contact with a
grounded mat or conductive flooring and dissipates charges safely to ground.
Table Mats
- Table mats are made of a dissipative material and must be
grounded individually to earth ground.
Hand Tool Requirements
- Hand tools must be stored in non-insulating or
charging stations. New hand tools should be ESD-safe (non-generating and
dissipative).
Floor Mats
- Floor mats are made of a dissipative material and must be grounded
individually to earth ground. This is required if no conductive flooring is
installed.
Ground Connections
- Any earth ground connection is sufficient.
Conductive Flooring
- Conductive flooring must be installed per manufacturer
specifications and be connected to earth ground.
Wrist/Heel Strap Tester
- These provide a method for checking the function of
smocks, heels straps and cable connections on an individual user.
Ionizers
- An Ionizer floods the air with positive and negative ions, which
eliminate static charges. This must be installed so that the airflow blows across
the workbench (or down on the workbench for overhead units).
