DESCO 19280 Wrist Strap Foot Ground Tester

The Desco 19280 Combo Tester is a 3-state touch tester designed for fast, frequent testing of ESD personnel grounding devices. This product can be used as one of the tools to fulfill the ANSI ESD S20.20 paragraph 6.1.3.2 "Compliance Verification Plan. Verification should include routine checks of the Technical Requirements of the Plan." The Combo Tester incorporates a unique dual test circuit design which improves accuracy of testing and eliminates the need for separate wrist strap and foot grounder test units. The 19280 is equipped with a 750 kilohm - 10 megohm circuit, ideal for testing of wrist straps and a 750 kilohm - 100 megohm circuit designed for accurate testing of footwear.

These parameters are factory set but can be adjusted to match your own specifications. The 19280 is a very simple to operate. A green light signal the user that everything is OK. A red light and an audible indicator means that the circuit resistance is either too low or too high.

The Tester operates on either a 9 volt battery or a special AC adapter. The Combo Tester is calibrated to NIST traceable standards and is available in three models.
