SRMETER2 Surface Resistance Meter
Installation, Operation and Maintenance
Description
The SCS
SRMETER2
Surface Resistance Meter is a
portable battery powered checker fitted with built-in
parallel electrodes that allow for tests of material surface
resistance. This meter is designed for quick checks
of surface resistance for ESD control applications in
electronics manufacturing or handling environment. The
Surface Resistance Meter is equipped with an automatic
test voltage selector. The test voltage will switch from
10V to 100V should the measured resistance exceed 1
x 10
5
ohms. Two banana jacks and an electrode toggle
switch allow for the connection of two external 5 pound
electrodes that measure surface resistance point to
point (Rtt) or resistance to equipment ground (Rtg).

ESD protected area products should be tested:
A. Prior to installation to qualify for listing in user’s ESD
control plan. Approved ESD materials (see product
qualification table at ANSI/ESD S20.20 Table 3 EPA
ESD control items).
B. During initial installation.
C. For periodic checks of installed products as part of
ANSI/ESD S20.20 Compliance Verification testing per
ESD TR53.
Compliance Verification Plan
“A Compliance Verification Plan shall be established
to ensure the Organization’s fulfillment of the technical
requirements of the ESD Control Program Plan. Process
monitoring (measurements) shall be conducted in
accordance with a Compliance Verification Plan that
identifies the technical requirements to be verified, the
measurement limits and the frequency at which those
verifications shall occur. The Compliance Verification
Plan shall document the test methods and equipment
used for process monitoring and measurements. If the
test methods used by the Organization differ from any
of the standards referenced in this document, then
there must be a tailoring statement that is documented
as part of the ESD Control Program Plan. Compliance
verification records shall be established and maintained
to provide evidence of conformity to the technical
requirements.
The test equipment selected shall be capable of
making the measurements defined in the Compliance
Verification Plan.” (ANSI/ESDS20.20 section 7.3) The
Surface Resistance Meter is not recommended for use
in Resistance to Ground (Rtg) measurements.
