ESD GROUNDING:
HWR-014 ESD Hardware Kit
ESD refers to the OPTIONAL static dissipative laminate used on the bench. The laminate has a
conductive under layer that comes in contact with the factory installed grounding bolts in the
worksurface. The ESD grounding kit, including the 10 ft. grounding wire must be attached and the
bench must be properly grounded to your facility earth ground. (See below for grounding cautions!)
The eyelet slips over the bolt end and the alligator clip attaches to ground. When tested with a
6
9
megohmmeter the ground bolts should test at 1 (1x10
) to 1000 (1x10
) in accordance with EOS/ESD
standards prescribed in EOS/ESD document S4.1-1990 Worksurfaces-Resistive Characterization. For
specific details on grounding the bench consult EOS/ESD document S6.1-1991 Grounding -
Recommended Practice.
