INTRODUCTION The ESD Check Point Agent is a fast, reliable, and robust solution to simplify daily testing to verify the performance of ESD wrist straps and ESD footwear. Each person who will be using the tester is issued an ID badge by the administrator to use with the tester. Test results are viewed on a display using both simple graphics and actual test readings. The tester completes testing in a matter of just a few seconds, simultaneously checking the wrist strap and both foot straps, and provides accurate accounting for administrative purposes. After each test a check is done of the wrist and feet measurement circuits and a validation screen is displayed telling the user that their data has been verified and stored. An ID badge, that is easily programmed by the administrator with user identification information, is held over the tester to initiate testing. Data collection by the administrator is paperless and wireless using a network connection that is easy to setup and change. The tester will continue recording data along with an accurate time/date time stamp if the wireless connection goes down or is unavailable by making use of a battery backed real-time-clock circuit.

FEATURES Page 5 of 39 ESD Check Point Agent only requires a 110V outlet for operation, so it is easy to install and move. 800 M. 800 M. information. Reads and displays actual resistance of ESD wrist straps and footwear from 100 K to The default range for a pass on wrist straps is 750 K to 10 M. The default range for a pass on ESD footwear is 1 M to 100 M. The administrator can change the pass ranges to any value desired between 100 K and Test data will indicates the pass ranges being used when each test was performed. The number of possible users only depends on the number of ID badges programmed with user Easy to use: User steps on foot pads, plugs in their wrist strap (if one is used), places thumb or finger on a gold pad, scans an ID badge and views results. Test results not only give actual resistance readings but also show readily understood graphics that indicate what has passed and what has failed. After each test, the Operator Panel checks the operation and accuracy of the circuitry that measures the wrist strap and footwear resistances and will display and record any operational or calibration issue. This assures the ESD administrator that all test data being collected by the Operator Panel is accurate. MIFARE 13.56 MHz RFID cards are used to initiate testing. An administrator can write user information to RFID cards using the Operator Panel. Alternatively, a smart phone with an RFID card writer application or an RFID reader/writer (such as a uFR NFC RFID Reader Writer by D-Logic) can be used. Test data resident on an Operator Panel can be reviewed by an administrator at any time by using a computer browser. Storage area for test data is large enough to allow an administrator to download test data to a computer on a weekly, monthly, quarterly or more interval. Once downloaded, the data resident on the Operator Panel can be deleted so only new data is available for viewing or downloading. Downloaded test data is in the form of a .csv file which can easily be opened, arranged and evaluated using a spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice. During initial installation, the Operator Panel comes up as a WiFi hotspot (access point mode) with it's own web page. Setup can be done from a nearby computer that has WiFi access or by using a smart phone. A local WiFi network connection can be set for subsequent access to the Operator Panel. Administrative settings can be changed. Typically, an administrator will have the Operator Panel connected to a local WiFi network. If a local WiFi network isn't available, the Operator Panel can stay in access point mode and act as it's own WiFi hotspot. In either access point mode or when connected to a local WiFi network, the Operator Panel can test and record ESD pass/fail data and an administrator can read and download test data as well www.ESDCheckPoint.com Page 6 of 39 as change administrative settings. When connected to a local WiFi network, time stamp information for the data being collected is kept current through the network. When in access point mode, time stamp information must get set. This can be done in two ways... 1) An administrator can go to the administration page and set the current date and time. 2) If possible, the Operator Panel can be connect to a WiFi network long enough to obtain the current date and time before being set back to access point mode. Once the date and time are set, accurate time stamp information is maintained through a real-time-clock circuit in the Operator Panel. Return to Table of Contents www.ESDCheckPoint.com III.

Place the ESD Check Point Agent by a wall outlet at a location in or around the area where workers will be entering their workplace and connect the 5V wall adapter . 2. On the back of the Operator Panel, verify that the red banana jack is plugged into the red receptacle and the white banana jack is plugged into the white receptacle. These are the connections for the footplates. 3. The blue LED on the Operator Panel will start flashing at a fast rate and the screen will flash a couple of times. In about 45 seconds the Operator Panel will be fully up and operational... The blue LED will begin flashing at a slower rate and screen will appear as shown below. 4. When a ESD Check Point is purchased, it is setup to operate as it's own WiFi hotspot. Typically, the ESD administrator will want to have the Operator Panel setup so it can be communicated with using a local WiFi network. Refer to Administrator Tools Steps to connecting the Operator Panel to local WiFi network... for network setup instructions. A) In some cases it might be necessary to keep the Operator Panel isolated from an external network. For this situation, the Operator Panel can be operated in it's Access Point mode where it operates as a WiFi hotspot with it's own web page. 1. Data collected by the Operator Panel is time-stamped, and it will have to be set to the current date and time. There are two ways this can be done... a) The unit can be temporarily located in a location where it can be connected to a local WiFi network and it will obtain the current date and time from the network. It can then be unplugged and moved to it's normal location for use. Refer to Administrator Tools Steps to connecting Operator Panel to local WiFi network... b) Date and time can be manually set by the administrator. Refer to Administrator Tools Setting Date and Time.... 5. The data collected by the Operator Panel will indicate a Device Name for the Operator Panel. If more than one ESD Check Point is being used, the administrator can change the device name so that it is possible to identify which Operator Panel the downloaded data came from.

High readings:
Poor contact between wrist strap's band and your skin... One possible cause. To make good contact, the band should be tight enough to make firm contact with the skin but not too tight. The band's tightness should be adjustable. Your skin... Another possible cause. Dry skin (especially in winter months) will result in higher resistance readings. Some people have thicker skin than others which will result in higher readings. Solution 1: Try moisturizing the skin on the wrist with ESD lotion to increase conductivity. If you regularly see high readings, this may be something you just do every time before putting on your wrist strap. Solution 2: If you are using a wrist strap with a band made of fabric, you could change to a wrist strap with a metal band that will have better conductivity. A dirty band on the wrist strap... One more possible cause. A dirty band will be less conductive. Solution 1: Replace the dirty band or wrist strap. Solution 2: Try cleaning the band with an anti-static cleaning solution. Alternatively, most fabric bands can be hand or machine washed (gentle cycle) using liquid dish soap or a mild detergent such as Woolite. Any cleaner or detergent being used must be silicone free since silicone is an insulator. You may have a problem with the wrist strap itself. Take the wrist strap off and pinch across from the inside of the band to the outside of the cord where the band and cord connect through a snap (use your thumb and index finger) and run a test. If you still see a high reading, the snap might be making a faulty connection or the cord might be faulty. Replace the band, replace the cord, or replace the entire wrist strap. Low readings... A wrist strap will typically have a series 1 M resistor in the cord, so a reading below 1 M is going to be a failed wrist strap or there is a parallel conduction path. Since the test circuitry on the ESD Check Point Agent Operator Panel is isolated, a parallel path should NOT be possible. Verify with a multi-meter that resistance from the band to the banana jack on the wrist strap is below 1 M, and replace the wrist strap if it is. Heal Straps and Toe Straps:
Wearing a heal strap or toe strap... Good conduction with a heal or toe strap depends on a perspiration layer through the www.ESDCheckPoint.com Page 36 of 39 sock to the foot. With the shoe off, place the heal strap on the heal of the shoe or toe strap on the toe of the shoe. (See instructions that came with the straps for detailed instructions.) Position the conductive ribbon in the bottom of the shoe and insert your stockinged foot into the shoe on top of the ribbon. As much conductive ribbon as possible should touch the bottom of your foot. (If the ribbon is longer than the bottom of your shoe, loop it back or cut off the excess.) The type of sock you wear can affect conductivity by how much moisture it will hold and it's insulating properties. Cotton can work well. Ask about conductive ESD socks... They will work the best. High readings:
Dirty heal or toe strap... One possible problem. If the portion of the heal or toe strap that makes contact with the floor gets too dirty, the dirt can create an insulating layer and reduce conductivity. If the conductive ribbon gets too dirty, it can also reduce conductivity. Solution 1: Clean the portion that makes contact with the floor regularly with anti-
static cleaner or wipes (or alternatively with isopropyl alcohol). Solution 2: Most ESD straps can be safely hand or machine washed (on a gentle cycle) using liquid dish soap or a mild detergent such as Woolite. Any cleaner or detergent being used must be silicone free since silicone is an insulator. Sock isn't allowing enough of a conductive perspiration layer... Another possible cause. Solution 1: Wear socks that have more cotton, or better yet, ESD socks. Solution 2: Try putting the conductive ribbon inside your sock with as much ribbon as possible contacting the skin. You might even need to moisturize some skin with ESD lotion. You might have a problem with the heal or toe strap itself. The strap typically will have either a 1 M or 2 M series resistor between the portion making contact with the floor and the conductive ribbon. You test the resistance with a multi meter by checking from the portion of the strap that contacts the floor to the conductive ribbon. If the resistance is much higher than 2 M, replace the foot or toe strap. Low readings... Moisture on the floor or ground... One possible source. If you wear the foot or heal strap where you might step in moisture (such as outdoors where there has been some rain, fog, dew, snow, sprinklers,...), the moisture can make for a better conductive path. The heal or toe strap typically will have a 1 M or 2 M resistor built in. Moisture can create a better parallel conductive path around the strap's resistor. The soles of some shoes can provide a parallel conductive path, and moisture will www.ESDCheckPoint.com Page 37 of 39 enhance that conductive path. Solution 1: If the strap got wet all the way up to the material around the built-in resistor, try using a replacement strap until the wet one drys out. Solution 2: Move the conductive ribbon around so less of the ribbon is under the foot. Use the Operator Panel to re-check your feet as they dry. Solution 3: Wear shoes with a rubber sole or with an insole that is less conductive. Ask about static dissipating insoles. Your shoes are providing a conductive path... Another possible source. If you regularly see a low reading even when your shoes aren't wet, the shoes on their own could be providing a parallel conductive path. Solution 1: Wear shoes with a rubber sole or with an insert that is less conductive. You might have a problem with the heal or toe strap itself. The strap typically will have either a 1 M or 2 M series resistor between the portion making contact with the floor and the conductive ribbon. You test the resistance with a multi meter by checking from the portion of the strap that contacts the floor to the conductive ribbon. If the resistance is lower than 1 M, replace the foot or toe strap. ESD Shoes:
ESD shoes are made to dissipate static. Don't add your own insole to these shoes unless it is an ESD insole. Be sure to keep the bottom of the shoe free of dirt and dust.

INTRODUCTION The ESD Check Point Deputy Agent is a fast, reliable, and robust solution to simplify daily testing to verify the performance of wrist straps. Each person who will be using the tester is issued an ID badge by the administrator to use with the tester. Test results are viewed on a display using both simple graphics and actual test readings. The tester averages 5 seconds per person, checking the wrist strap, and provides accurate accounting for administrative purposes. After each test a check is done of the wrist measurement circuit and a validation screen is displayed telling the user that their data has been verified and stored. An ID badge, that is easily programmed by the administrator with user identification information, is held over the tester to initiate testing. Data collection by the administrator is paperless and wireless using a network connection that is easy to setup and change. The tester will continue recording data along with an accurate time/date time stamp if the wireless connection goes down or is unavailable by making use of a battery backed real-time-clock circuit.

ESD Check Point only requires a 110V outlet for operation, so it is easy to install and move. 2. Reads and displays actual resistance of ESD wrist straps 100 K to 800 M. 3. The default range for a pass on wrist straps is 750 K to 10 M. A) The administrator can change the pass ranges to any value desired between 100 K and B) Test data will indicates the pass ranges being used when each test was performed. 4. The number of possible users only depends on the number of ID badges programmed with user 5. Easy to use: User plugs in their wrist strap, places thumb or finger on a gold pad, scans an ID 800 M. information. badge and views results. 6. Test results not only give actual resistance readings but also show readily understood graphics that indicate what has passed and what has failed. 7. After each test, the Operator Panel checks the operation and accuracy of the circuitry that measures the wrist strap resistance and will display and record any operational or calibration issue. This assures the ESD administrator that all test data being collected by the Operator Panel is accurate. 8. MIFARE 13.56 MHz RFID cards are used to initiate testing. An administrator can write user information to RFID cards using the Operator Panel. Alternatively, a smart phone with an RFID card writer application or an RFID reader/writer (such as a uFR NFC RFID Reader Writer by D-Logic) can be used. 9. Test data resident on an Operator Panel can be reviewed by an administrator at any time by using a computer browser. 10. Storage area for test data is large enough to allow an administrator to download test data to a computer on a weekly, monthly, quarterly or more interval. Once downloaded, the data resident on the Operator Panel can be deleted so only new data is available for viewing or downloading. 11. Downloaded test data is in the form of a .csv file which can easily be opened, arranged and evaluated using a spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice. 12. During initial installation, the Operator Panel comes up as a WiFi hotspot (access point mode) with it's own web page. Setup can be done from a nearby computer that has WiFi access or by using a smart phone. A) A local WiFi network connection can be set for subsequent access to the Operator Panel. B) Administrative settings can be changed. 13. Typically, an administrator will have the Operator Panel connected to a local WiFi network. A) If a local WiFi network isn't available, the Operator Panel can stay in access point mode and act as it's own WiFi hotspot. 14. In either access point mode or when connected to a local WiFi network, the Operator Panel can test and record ESD pass/fail data and an administrator can read and download test data as well as change administrative settings. A) When connected to a local WiFi network, time stamp information for the data being collected is kept current through the network. continued www.ESDCheckPoint.com B) When in access point mode, time stamp information must get set. This can be done in two ways... 1. 1) An administrator can go to the administration page and set the current date and time. 2. 2) If possible, the Operator Panel can be connect to a WiFi network long enough to obtain the current date and time before being set back to access point mode. 3. Once the date and time are set, accurate time stamp information is maintained through a real-time-clock circuit in the Operator Panel.

Place the ESD Check Point Agent by a wall outlet at a location in or around the area where workers will be entering their workplace and connect the 5V wall adapter . 2. The blue LED on the Operator Panel will start flashing at a fast rate and the screen will flash a couple of times. In about 45 seconds the Operator Panel will be fully up and operational... The blue LED will begin flashing at a slower rate and screen will appear as shown below. 3. When a ESD Check Point is purchased, it is setup to operate as it's own WiFi hotspot. Typically, the ESD administrator will want to have the Operator Panel setup so it can be communicated with using a local WiFi network. Refer to Administrator Tools Steps to connecting Operator Panel to local WiFi network... for network setup instructions. A) In some cases it might be necessary to keep the Operator Panel isolated from an external network. For this situation, the Operator Panel can be operated in it's Access Point mode where it operates as a WiFi hotspot with it's own web page. 1. Data collected by the Operator Panel is time-stamped, and it will have to be set to the current date and time. There are two ways this can be done... a) The unit can be temporarily located in a location where it can be connected to a local WiFi network and it will obtain the current date and time from the network. It can then be unplugged and moved to it's normal location for use. Refer to Administrator Tools Steps to connecting the Operator Panel to local WiFi network... b) Date and time can be manually set by the administrator. Refer to Administrator Tools Setting Date and Time.... 4. The data collected by the Operator Panel will indicate a Device Name for the Operator Panel. If more than one ESD Check Point is being used, the administrator can change the device name so that it is possible to identify which Operator Panel the downloaded data came from. Refer to Administrator Tools Setting Device Name and Password.... 5. The default ranges for a pass condition for wrist straps it set by default to 750 K to 10 M. These ranges can be changed by the administrator. Refer to Administrator Tools Setting Pass Ranges for Wrist Strap.... 6.

High readings:
Poor contact between wrist strap's band and your skin... One possible cause. To make good contact, the band should be tight enough to make firm contact with the skin but not too tight. The band's tightness should be adjustable. Your skin... Another possible cause. Dry skin (especially in winter months) will result in higher resistance readings. Some people have thicker skin than others which will result in higher readings. Solution 1: Try moisturizing the skin on the wrist with ESD lotion to increase conductivity. If you regularly see high readings, this may be something you just do every time before putting on your wrist strap. Solution 2: If you are using a wrist strap with a band made of fabric, you could change to a wrist strap with a metal band that will have better conductivity. A dirty band on the wrist strap... One more possible cause. A dirty band will be less conductive. Solution 1: Replace the dirty band or wrist strap. Solution 2: Try cleaning the band with an anti-static cleaning solution. Alternatively, most fabric bands can be hand or machine washed (gentle cycle) using liquid dish soap or a mild detergent such as Woolite. Any cleaner or detergent being used must be silicone free since silicone is an insulator. You may have a problem with the wrist strap itself. Take the wrist strap off and pinch across from the inside of the band to the outside of the cord where the band and cord connect through a snap (use your thumb and index finger) and run a test. If you still see a high reading, the snap might be making a faulty connection or the cord might be faulty. Replace the band, replace the cord, or replace the entire wrist strap. Low readings... A wrist strap will typically have a series 1 M resistor in the cord, so a reading below 1 M is going to be a failed wrist strap or there is a parallel conduction path. Since the test circuitry on the ESD Check Point Operator Panel is isolated, a parallel path should NOT be possible. Verify with a multi-meter that resistance from the band to the banana jack on the wrist strap is below 1 M, and replace the wrist strap if it is.
