Troubleshooting and Frequently Asked Questions
What are the major problems encountered when setting up a system?
1..If in doubt call Static Solutions and we will run through the system while you are on the keyboard.
2..Installing the footplate cable so it protrudes from the edge of the stand will cause problems because the plug will
bend and become dislodged from the jack.
3.Low battery if not using the AC power supply.
How do I hook up the two pig tail wires which are on the “special” meter to open doors?
The relay circuit is normally open. When the test results are passed, the two leads will close because of the
activation of the low voltage relay in the meter and allow the passage of a maximum of 24 volts at
500milliamps through the relay to the door. See the connection diagram listed above.
Why does the 9 volt battery get extremely hot ?
Do not use a alkaline battery when using the power supply. Us a rechargeable battery if the power supply is
used.
What can be done if the readings for the foot wear are low?
Check the footplate wire. Insert the wire completely into the meter. Workers wearing leather shoes that are
wet will produce low readings.
DO NOT CLEAN OFF THE FOOTPLATE WITH TOPICAL ANTISTAT
CLEANERS.
