The VER-29203 is a Compact Wrist Strap Tester used to test personnel wrist straps and footwear. The tester uses LEDs and an audible alarm to indicate whether the measured resistance is within the range specified by EN 61340-5-1. A foot plate is included with the Vermason compact tester to allow users to test both their footwear and wrist strap. It is powered by a 9V PP3 battery for portability. Wrist straps shall be checked before use. Each check shall be made with the wrist band worn in contact with the wearer’s skin and with the ground cord attached to the appropriate tester. Where toe and heel straps are used as ESD footwear, once these are worn outside the EPA [ESD protected area], particularly on carpets, it is likely to accumulate fluff and become ineffective, this requires that they be checked or replaced on every visit to the EPA.
