Description
The Charleswater AC Outlet Analyser and Wrist Strap
Tester is an easy-to-use, low cost, plug-in tester. It is
designed to confirm the proper orientation of hot, neutral
and protective earth ground. The product can also be
used as a wrist strap tester per IEC 61340-5-1 clause
A.1.
"Wrist straps should be tested periodically. The
frequency of testing, however, is driven by the amount
of usage, wear and ESD risk exposure that can occur
between tests. For example, what is the quantity of
product handled between test periods?
Typical test programs recommend that wrist straps that
are used daily should be tested daily. However, if the
products that are being produced are of such value that
a guarantee of a continuous, reliable ground is needed
then continuous monitoring should be considered or
even required." (CLC/TR 61340-5-2 user guide wrist
strap clause 4.7.2.4.4 test frequency)

Installation
Plug the tester into an AC outlet. The Outlet Pass LED
will illuminate green if the outlet's wiring is correct and
the path to earth ground via the equipment grounding
conductor (green wire) is intact. The tester will alarm
and Outlet Fail LED will illuminate red if either condition
is not met.
Operation
1. Fit the wristband snugly onto your wrist and attach the
wrist cord to it.
2. Connect your wrist cord to the wrist strap jack
located on the face of the tester.
3. Touch and hold the metal test plate on the tester
to perform the test. The green Test Pass LED will
illuminate if the wrist strap contains adequate current
limiting resistance and continuity form their skin to
earth ground. Failure is indicated by a
non-illuminated Test LED.
The tester may also be used to check the
sleeve-to-sleeve conductive path integrity of ESD
protective garments.
