- Page 2 Rev. September 26, 2019 MKB ACL 395 Resistivity Meter The ACL 395 is a lightweight, pocket-sized, auto-ranging surface resistivity meter. It is designed to test conductive, dissipative, and insulative surfaces for electrical resistivity according to the ESDA’s parallel resistivity probe method DIN EN 100 015/1 & ASTM D257.
- Page 3 The ACL 395 Resistivity Meter is an easy-to-use tester for measuring surface resistivity. When used with the ACL 396 Accessory Kit, the ACL 395 Resistivity Meter is a dependable audit kit for conductive and dissipative surfaces. This meter is designed for use in all facets of material...

Page 4: Test Voltage
ESDA standardized the test procedures so that lower volts could be used within specific ranges. The ACL 395 meter uses a 9-volt battery. Some meters with 9-volt batteries do not give the accuracy needed to perform the tests, especially at values higher than 10 . -
Page 5: Recording Data
The rails on the ACL 395 are made of conductive rubber. Soft rubber rails provide the highest level of surface contact for greater accuracy. -

ACL 395 Operation Manual Rev. September 26, 2019 MKB When the measurement is taken between the meter’s two rubber rails, the meter will indicate the surface resistivity of the material being tested. A. Prior to testing, make certain that surfaces to be tested are clean and free of contaminants. - Page 7 ACL 395 Operation Manual Rev. September 26, 2019 MKB By connecting the 5-lb probes to the ACL 395’s sockets, it is possible to measure Resistance Point to Point (RTT), Resistance to Ground (RTG), and Volume Resistance. Using these external probes will allow compliance with various standards including ANSI/ESDA S4.1 for Worksurface –...
