PMT-872A Wrist Strap/Footwear Auditor

Before using this, or any other electronic piece of equipment, carefully read the instruc  on manual com-
pletely.

I.  Before Using the Instrument

Examine the instrument for damage, contamina  on (excessive dirt, grease, etc.) and defects.  If any 
abnormal condi  ons exist, do not a  empt to make any measurements.

II.  Safety

DO NOT use the instrument if it appears damaged, or if you suspect that the unit is not opera  ng 
properly.

III.  Descrip  on

The PMT-872A Wrist Strap/Footwear Checker is a highly portable, mul  -
func  on 

PASS/FAIL

 performance verifi er.  It confi rms the opera  onal 

resistance range of wrist straps, heel straps and ESD controlled foot-
wear.  The PMT-872A features a large test bu  on, audible 

PASS

 BEEP 

with Green 

PASS

 light, Red 

LOW

 and HIGH Fail lights, and yellow ba  ery 

low indicator.  Connec  ons are provided for an op  onal AC/DC Power 
adapter and for tes  ng dual conductor wrist straps. A front panel toggle 
switch allows tes  ng of wrist straps and footwear at one sta  on. A foot-
wear test plate, connector, and lead are provided.

When properly used, the PMT-872A automa  cally performs a Self 
Tes  ng sequence to confi rm proper opera  on and test for Low Ba  ery 
Voltage. The PMT-872A may be used as either a portable unit, or it may 
be permanently installed at a convenient loca  on for daily tes  ng func-

 ons.

A.  The PMT-872A indicates whether Wrist Straps or Footwear (ESD Heel 

Straps and Shoes) are within acceptable resistance ranges that are 
pre-set in the PMT-872A, and selected by the user. Three LED’s on 
the instrument’s front panel provide PASS or FAIL indica  ons. They are:

1.  HIGH FAIL

 (Top RED LED light) indicates that the object being tested exceeds the acceptable 

pre-set resistance range.

2.  PASS

 (Green LED Light) and an Audible Buzzer indicates the object is within the acceptable pre-

set resistance range.

3.  LOW FAIL

 (Bo  om RED LED light) indicates that the object being tested is less than the accept-

able pre-set resistance range.

B.  The PMT-872A self-test sequence is ac  vated each   me the unit is used.  Upon comple  on of an 

acceptable self-test and ba  ery check, the unit’s Yellow “Low Ba  .” LED Light will go off .

C.  The PMT-872A pre-set resistance measurement ranges for wrist straps and footwear are as fol-

lows.
