Thank you for purchasing an ESD Wrist Strap / Footwear Tester (WST1 / WST2 / WST3). Please read this instruction manual in great detail before operating the device. Keep this manual readily accessible for later reference.

Description

WST-1 – Portable instrument for checking the continuity of fitted wrist- strap and cord. The unit has a banana socket and 10mm stud. Standard Wrist- Strap Tester has a single test range 0.75 meg-ohm to 35 meg-ohm (other resistance ranges available on request). A 9V battery is required. The instrument has a green light for pass (i.e. resistance between 0.75 meg-ohm and 35 meg-ohm) and 2 red lights which indicate either high resistance fail or low resistance fail. A buzzer sounds in any fail situation. Very easy to use. Manufactured in the United Kingdom.
WST-2 – Wall mounted unit for checking the continuity of fitted wrist- strap and cord. The WST2 unit is supplied with the WST1 meter, wall mounting board, 6 inch cord (0 meg ohm) and 9V battery. Manufactured in the United Kingdom.
WST-3 – ESD Footwear / Wrist Strap Test Station (WST3) is the full station, supplied with a WST1 meter, wall mounting board, 6 inch cord (0 meg ohm), 6ft cord (0 meg ohm), footplate and 9V battery. This unit checks the continuity of fitted anti-static wrist-straps and cords, fitted shoes, heel straps or toe grounders. The WST1 meter has a banana socket and 10mm stud. The unit has a single test range of 0.75 meg-ohm to 35 meg-ohm, meeting the IEC 61340-5-1 specification (other resistance ranges available on request).

2. Replace the battery cover.

WST-2:

1. Remove the battery cover and connect the supplied battery.
2. Replace the battery cover.
3. Place the meter in the bracket on the wall plate.
4. Connect the meter via short lead from the banana socket on the meter to the 10mm stud on the wall plate bracket.

WST-3:

1. Install the WST as per WST-2 instructions above.
2. Using the longer lead, connect the footplate from the stud on the footplate to the wall plate bracket.

Operation

WST-1 and WST-2:

1. Ensure that your wrist strap is in good condition and correctly adjusted for your wrist.
2. Connect your wrist strap cord to the WST, either directly, or if fitted, to the wall plate.
3. Make finger contact with the stainless steel push button and press firmly. A green LED will illuminate to indicate a PASS. If the resistance through the coil cord, wrist band and operator exceeds 35MN the “HIGH FAIL” red LED will light and a buzzer will sound. If the resistance through the coil cord, wrist band and operator is below 750KQ the “LOW FAIL” red LED will light and a buzzer will sound. If the 9 volt PP3 battery falls below 6.5 volts during test the yellow battery low LED will light.

WST-3:

1. Test wrist straps as per above instructions.
2. To test footwear, ensure that your wrist strap has been disconnected.
3. Ensure that your footwear or foot grounding device is correctly fitted.
4. Place one foot onto the footplate and make finger contact with the stainless steel push button and press firmly. A green LED will illuminate to indicate a PASS. If the resistance through the footwear and operator exceeds 35MN the “HIGH FAIL” red LED will light and a buzzer will sound. If the resistance through the footwear and operator is below 750KQ the “LOW FAIL” red LED will light and a buzzer will sound. If the 9 volt PP3 battery falls below 6.5 volts during test the yellow battery low LED will light.
5. Repeat for the other foot.
