Description

Ohm Metrics Tester Calibration Device Model CAL 1000

The CAL 1000 calibration unit is designed to facilitate easy, in-house , NIST traceable calibration of the WST 200, GTS600 and GTS900 wrist strap and footwear test- ers from Transforming Technologies. The CAL1000 is de- signed to verify testers calibrated to ANSI/ESD S1.1-1998 and ANSI/ESD STM9.1-2001 so it works with most makes of test equipment.

Features include:

  • No power source required.
  • NIST traceable for in-house
  • Wrist strap test range: 750 kilohm - 10
  • Footwear test range: 750 kilohm - 100
  • Versatile, works with most tester

Ohm Metrics test and measurement products, from Transforming Technologies, are useful, reliable tools for characterizing and identifying the electrical resistance of materials and the performance of personal grounding products.

  • All Ohm Metrics products are designed to support ESDA Compliance Verification TR53.
  • All Ohm Metrics products can be calibrated.
  • All Ohm Metrics test and measurement products are warranted for 1 full year.

Power Source

The CAL1000 requires little assembly. Locate the colored jacks on the front of unit and simply plug the RED test lead into the RED jack and the BLACK test lead into the BLACK jack. You are now ready to begin calibration.

Testing and Calibration

Calibrating a Wrist Strap Tester

For calibration of a wrist strap tester, turn the knob to "680K Ω LOW” setting on the Upper part of dial marked "Wrist strap”.

  1. Make sure that the test leads are connected to the cor- rect color coded jacks and remove rubber caps. Then connect the opposite end of one test leads to WRIST STRAP jack of tester making sure to touch the metal side wall of the port.
  2. Place the other probe onto the touch plate of the tester, making sure that the probe is placed in the middle of the touch plate for optimal

Be sure to hold the cord at an insulated point, so that the resistance value is not affected by the body.

 

Calibrating a Wrist Strap Tester Cont.

  1. By pushing the probe on the touch plate you'll usually activate the tester.
  2. The tester should indicate RED LED light "LO".
  3. Repeat this procedure for the other wrist strap knob

In each case the indication on the instrument should cor- respond to the knob setting. For example, set the calibra- tion unit to the "PASS" position, repeat steps 1-3 and the wrist strap tester should indicate a GREEN LED light “PASS”.

If the tester does not meet calibration specifications, you should contact the supplier for adjustment information.

Calibrating a Footwear Tester

For calibration of a footwear tester, turn the knob to "680K Ω LOW” setting on the LOWER part of dial marked "Footwear”.

Calibration test procedures:

  1. Make sure that the test leads are connected to the cor- rect color coded jacks and then connect the opposite end of one test leads to Footwear jack of

Make sure that if the tester is a duel wrist strap/ footwear tester, all adjustments are set to footwear.

 

Footwear Calibration Cont.

  1. Place the probe with the conductive rubber base onto the touch plate of the tester, making sure that the probe is placed in the middle of the touch plate for op- timal
  2. By pushing the probe on the touch plate you'll usually activate the tester. The tester should indicate RED LED light "LO".
  3. Repeat this procedure for the other footwear knob set-

In each case the indication on the instrument should cor- respond to the knob setting. For example, set the calibra- tion unit to the "PASS" position, repeat steps 1-3 and the footwear tester should indicate a GREEN LED light “PASS”.

Be sure to hold the cord at an insulated point, so that the resistance value is not affected by the body.
