If I measure high resistance materials will the applied voltage drop below 100 volts ?
Answer
: No ! We are using a voltage converter which maintains constant 100 or 10 volts voltage over the
complete
resistance range. The EOS 20/20 specification says when measuring under 10
6
ohms use 10 volts and when
you test materials over 10
6
ohms use 100 volts.

If I damage a parallel probe electrode can they be replaced ?
Answer
: Yes. For a nominal charge they can be replaced. When cleaning use a soap and water solution.
14.
In order to satisfy companies achieving ISO-9000 certification are our meters NIST and CE mark traceable ?
Answer
: The meters come with a NIST certificate when ordered. After one year the meters can be sent back to Static Solutions
for recalibration. The meters are CE mark tested.
15.
I have to use the meter overseas . Can the meter be used with a 220-240 volts power supply ?
Answer
: Yes. We supply a 120 volts adapter with the meter. In order to use 220 volts an easily purchased 12 volts DC 220 volt AC
adapter can be purchased and used with the meter. Static Solutions can supply this adapter at a nominal charge. Be sure to use a
100-150 milliamp female 2.5 mm wide, 5.5 mm lonmg positive center plug. Also make sure the wall plug will fit in the recepticle of the
country where the meter will be used. It might make sense to use 9 volts alkaline batteries overseas in order to avoid problems. Do
not use a power adapter when using a alkaline battery. It might leak or explode. When using a power adapter use a rechargeable
battery.

If the meter fails to work can it be fixed /?
Answer
: Under one year the meter is fully warranted and will be fixed at no charge as long as the meter was not abused or
dropped. Contact the company at 508.480.0700 regarding a return authorization number after the warranty period expires.
17.
Where can the meter be used ?
Answer
: The meter can be used in all facets of material production including engineering, maintenance, quality
control, incoming inspection, manufacturing, research, or sales departments.
18.
What industries can be the meter be used ?
Answer
: Photographic , medical, cleanroom, electronics, automotive, pharmaceutical, research and coatings industries.
19.
What products can be tested with this meter ?
Answer:
Any and all materials that are electrically conductive , dissipative, or antistatic between 1000 ohms and 10 13 ohms.
Items include floor mats, table mats, conductive floor tiles, coatings, floor finishes, bags, containers, smocks, footwear, heel
grounders, wrist straps, and grounding straps.
20.
What standards do this meter conform ?
Answer
: The meter can test to the following standards: EOS/ESD-S4.1, S11.11, S7.1, NFPA-99A, ANSI, UL, ASTM-D-257,
ASTM-F150, Military, EIA-541, and CECC (European)

I noticed when I brought the meter in from the cold car the temperature and humidity seemed to be incorrect. Why ?
Answer
: It takes approximately ½ hour for the meter to climatize to different environmental conditions before taking a
measurement. Allow the meter to stabilize to ensure the correct reading.
