ESD personnel grounding tester PGT120 for wrist strap and footwear, with footwear electrode - Warmbier 7100.PGT120

Everyone entering an EPA must be reliably grounded via wrist strap or ESD footwear. The Warmbier Personnel Grounding Tester PGT120 is a wrist strap and footwear tester for access control of ESD protected areas. Wrist strap, right and left shoe can be tested simultaneously via separate measuring circuits, and the result is indicated with audible and visual signals. A relay with a dry contact provides the connection to a door opening system.

Benefits

• Separate measuring circuits for wrist strap, left and right shoe, simultaneous testing possible
• Dry relay contact for connection to a door opener or barrier gate
• Hands-free mode: in combination with a barrier gate, footwear measurement runs in series without pressing a button
• Test voltage 30 V, 50 V or 100 V (default 100 V)
• Limits adjustable via DIP switches, lower limit can be disabled
• Powered by internal battery or external power supply, for bench top or wall mounting

Applications

• Access control at the entrances to ESD protected areas in electronics manufacturing, repair and laboratories
• Daily testing of wrist straps and ESD footwear before starting work
• Combination with a door opener or barrier gate so that only tested personnel enter the EPA
• Placement at the workstation or fixed mounting on the wall or on a pedestal

Compatibility

Wall mounting requires the 7100.PGT120.WK wall bracket. For free-standing use, a pedestal, a plug-on bracket and a floor mat with leading edge are available, as well as a calibration unit for regular checks of the tester.
