Megohmmeter Model 1000N/1100N
'HV.ULSWLRQ
ESD Conductivity Test Kit Megohmmeter Model 1100N Kit (Cat.
#2110.03) is designed specifically for floor resistance testing in areas
where electrostatic discharge is a problem, such as computer rooms,
electronic assembly rooms, hospitals, etc. The kit includes a 1000V
megohmmeter which features excellent resolution in the critical 10
9 Ω ranges, and fine resolution up to 10
10
two floor weights - NFPA probes for consistent and repeatable contact
with the surface under test. The Model 1100N is useful for testing
effectiveness of conductive carpets, mats, tables, chairs, etc.
The Model 1000N is especially suited for this type of measurement, due
to high accuracy and resolution in the megohm and gigohm ranges.
Conductivity testers are important in any operation where the presence
of electrostatic discharge charges poses a danger to personnel or the
operation of electronic equipment.
There are several standards in the industry which may be referenced
when performing ESD testing of conductive flooring or tiles.
