Page 7: Introduction
ANSI/ESDA 11.12 or measuring resistance to ground of materials or component on a piece of equipment. Direct point-to-point resistance measurements with STATICO Two-Point Pen Probe, SPP2, generally conform to the guidelines as outlined in the ANSI/ESDA 11.13 Two-Point Resistance Measurements. - Page 8 CAUTIONS -- WARNINGS As with any electrical device, use proper electrical precautions to avoid personnel shock. The SPP1, SPP2 and SPP3 Pen Probes operate with power input from the megohm meters at 10 to 100 volts, and is capable of delivering an annoying shock to any person touching it.
- Page 9 Model SPP1 – SINGLE-POINT PEN PROBE Volume Resistance Measurement for Planar materials Introduction: Volume resistance measurements determine if the material has electrical conducting properties through the bulk of the sample. This test will measure resistance from top surface to bottom surface of the sample. There are several possible current paths that the user should understand and determine which one or combinations of which give the final reading as shown on the schematic below by Ben Baumgartner (ESDiscovery...
- Page 10 3. Connect the negative (- ) terminal to the test platform. 4. Plug one end of the cord, provided with the SPP1 Kit, to the Single-Point Pen Probe. 5. Connect the other end of the coiled cord to the positive (+) terminal of your megohm meter.
- Page 11 7. Hold the Pen Probe vertically and place the rubber tip on the sample. 8. Apply pressure and compress the pogo pin until the probe body is about 1/8” of an inch from the rubber boot. This would provide the sufficient pressure for correct contact force.
- Page 12 MODEL SPP1: SINGLE-POINT PEN PROBE Resistance to ground measurement for small piece parts Introduction: This test will measure resistance from various points on the top surface of the piece part to the conductive platform that the bottom surface of the sample is sitting on.
- Page 13 MODEL SPP1: SINGLE-POINT PEN PROBE Resistance to Ground Measurement for Equipment Introduction: Resistance to ground measurements for equipment determines if the material installed in the production equipment has the ability to dissipate electrostatic to the equipment ground. This test will measure resistance from machine parts to the equipment chassis ground.
- Page 14 6. Apply pressure and compress the pogo pin until the probe body is about 1/8” of an inch from the top of the pin contact. This would provide the sufficient pressure for correct contact force. 7. Record measurements. Note: A properly grounded metallic machine part should have its resistance to ground reading less than 1 ohm.
- Page 15 MODEL SPP2: TWO-POINT PENT PROBE Point-to-Point Resistance Measurement for Materials Introduction: Point-to-point resistance measurements for planar material characterize esthe ability of a planar (flat) sample to conduct electricity and electrostatic charge from one point to another along the top-most layer of the material.
- Page 16 2. Install the BNC-to- Banana adapter to the end of the probe. 3. Connect banana jack cables to the probe adaptor. 3. Connect the other ends of the cables to the Mega-ohmmeter. 4. Make sure that the conductive rubber boot is secure on the probe pins.
- Page 17 5. Hold the Pen Probe vertically and place the rubber tips on the sample. 6. Apply pressure and compress the pogo pins until the probe runs against the dead stop. This would provide the sufficient pressure for correct contact force. 7.

Hold the Pen Probe vertically and place the rubber tips on the sample. Apply pressure and compress the pogo pins until the rubber ring on the probe runs against the probe body. This would provide the sufficient pressure for correct contact force. Apply to test voltage from your meter to read the sample volume resistance per ANSI/ESDA 11.13. - Page 21 “Connect the positive (+) terminal of your meter (ohmmeter or Megohm meter) to the Single-Point Pen Probe.” Copyright © 2014 by STATICO.
