Model 920 Electrostatic Discharge Combo Tester X3

The Trek Model 920 Combo Tester X3 simultaneously tests the integrity of an operator’s wrist strap, footwear and the presence of an inline current limiting resistor to determine proper operator grounding without the necessity of conducting separate tests. The 920 can be used as one of the tools to fulfill the requirements of the ANSI ESD S20.20 paragraph 6.1.3.2 entitled, Compliance Verification Plan, by providing easy, convenient equipment testing.

The 920 is factory set to provide testing of wrist straps in the range of 750 kΩ to 10 MΩ and footwear in the range of 750 kΩ to 100 MΩ. Other ranges can be selected, using convenient operator selected DIP switches, to provide compliance testing to meet other ESD Control Plan requirements.

Red and green LED indicators and an audible alarm are used to indicate pass/fail test results. The 920 is calibrated to NIST traceable standards. A Limit Comparator is optionally available to aid in recalibrating it to its factory settings. Other optional equipment includes a rugged, steel pedestal stand, along with its appropriate mounting hardware, that can be used to conveniently mount the Stainless Steel Split Foot Plate.








Show/Hide Product Technical Information

Features

Simultaneous Testing

  • Provides simultaneous testing of an operator’s wrist strap and footwear to determine whether they are operating properly, while testing for the presence of the minimum resistance normally used in the wrist strap.

LED Indicators and Audible Alarm

  • A circular array of blue LED lights between the inner and outer contacts indicate power to the unit.
  • A green LED light indicates to the operator that wrist strap and footwear are passing.
  • A red LED light and an audible alarm signal that the wrist strap or footwear (left or right) is failing.
  • A red LED light also alerts the operator that the circuit resistance is too low or too high.

Stainless Steel Split Foot Plate

  • For testing foot grounders (or shoes).
  • Easy to clean and maintain.

Solid State Touch Test Button

  • With no moving parts.

30V Test Signal

  • Provides accurate tests that are not humidity dependent

Relay Terminal

  • A single pole safety relay, which supports both “normally open” and “normally closed” contact settings, is provided for use with automatic door or other locking systems.

Calibration

Standards

  • Calibrated to NIST-traceable standards.
  • Frequency of recalibration should be based on the critical nature of the ESD sensitive items being handled and the risk of failure for ESD protective equipment and materials.
  • Trek, Inc. recommends that recalibration be performed annually.

Accuracy

  • ±5% for < 1 MΩ range.
  • ±10% for < 1 MΩ resistance ranges.
  • Check periodically (once every 6 to 12 months) using precision resistance box.

Limit Comparator

  • A limit comparator is optionally available for the Model 920 to aid in recalibrating it to its factory settings.
