Vermason Hi-Speed/Hi-Accuracy Wrist Strap Test Station with Wall Plate, 24 V DC - Desco 222563

Daily wrist strap testing only works when the test point is fixed, obvious and quick. The Vermason 222563 test station mounts the Hi-Speed/Hi-Accuracy wrist strap tester on a yellow wall plate at the EPA entrance. Operators plug in their coiled cord, press the button and get a clear result after one second. The tester measures the complete path to ground including the operator's body, following EN 61340-5-1, Annex A, test method A.1.

Key benefits

• No queue at the door: 1 second test cycle, the result is held after the first push of the button.
• Clear indication: green LED with buzzer on pass, red LED on fail.
• Standard limits: 750 kilohm low limit, 35 megohm (3.5 x 10⁷ ohms) high limit.
• Permanent test point: wall plate with four mounting holes in the corners.
• Traceable accuracy: factory calibrated with procedures traceable to NIST standards.

Applications

Personnel grounding checks at EPA entrances, line starts and rework stations. If a reading exceeds 35 megohms, the manufacturer recommends testing the coiled cord alone for continuity first, then checking the fit of the wristband. Dry skin can be helped with a process-compatible hand lotion.

Standards

Test method per EN 61340-5-1, Annex A, method A.1. On test frequency the manufacturer refers to CLC/TR 61340-5-2: wrist straps worn every day should be tested every day.
