ESD Wrist Strap Tester
The wires inside of an ESD strap are prone to damage over time. When using an unmonitored kit, it is best practice to regularly
test the strap prior to each service call, and at a minimum, test once per week. A wrist strap tester is the best method for doing
this test. If you do not have your own wrist strap tester, check with your regional office to find out if they have one. To perform
the test, plug the wrist-strap's bonding-wire into the tester while it is strapped to your wrist and push the button to test. A
green LED is lit if the test is successful; a red LED is lit and an alarm sounds if the test fails.
