Do not touch the probe tip with your hand. Do not
touch the probe tip to sensitive products.
3. For metallic machine parts: Use an ohmmeter.
Remove the conductive rubber tip for the probe tip.
4. Set the ohmmeter to auto range or to the lowest range
of ohm reading.
5. Touch the bare (gold color) probe tip to various points
on metallic machine parts.
6. Apply pressure and compress the pogo pin until the
probe body is about 1/8” of an inch from the top of the
pin contact. This would provide the sufficient pressure
for correct contact force.
7. Record measurements.
Note
: A properly grounded metallic machine part
should have its resistance to ground reading less than
1 ohm.
8. For coated or non-metallic machine parts: Use a
megohmmeter. Make sure that the conductive rubber
tip is installed.
9. Set the applied voltage to 100 volts. Touch the probe
tip to non-metallic machine parts.
10. Apply pressure and compress the pogo pin until the
probe body is about 1/8” of an inch from the rubber
boot. This would provide the sufficient pressure for
correct contact force.
11. Record measurements.
Note
: A properly grounded static dissipative or ESD
coated machine part should have its resistance to
ground reading less than 1 x 10
11
ohms.
