RS PRO Surface ESD Tester Portable Analogue 9V Battery Powered EPA Compliance 776-8318

RS PRO 776-8318 Surface ESD Tester is a high-quality analogue instrument manufactured for precision measurements of surface and point-to-point resistance in Electrostatic Discharge Protected Areas (EPAs). Powered by a standard 9 V alkaline battery, this device allows portable, reliable testing of static protection zones found in electronics manufacturing, assembly, repair, and other sensitive electrical environments.

Designed to meet and comply with the international standard EN 61340-5-1, the accepted ESD protection guideline within IEC member countries, the tester automatically adjusts test voltage based on resistance results - for values above 10 ohms, the voltage switches from 10 V to 100 V ensuring accurate and appropriate measurements.

The measurement test point is the surface type, allowing assessment of bench surfaces, flooring mats, and other materials critical to EPA integrity. Its analogue display provides straightforward readings with an asserted accuracy of +/- 1/2 decade. The meter's physical dimensions are 305 mm in width, 241 mm in depth, and 89 mm in height, enabling easy handling with a lightweight design of just 0.2 kg.

A convenient LED battery status indicator signals when the 9 V alkaline battery requires replacement, ensuring uninterrupted and dependable operation. The compact and ergonomic form factor supports fieldwork in various industrial, manufacturing, laboratory, and repair shop applications.

This instrument is indispensable for quality assurance and safety compliance in environments where electrostatic discharge risks must be mitigated to protect sensitive electronic components. It is ideal for use on repair benches, production floors, cleanroom environments, and across facilities requiring routine verification of static control measures.

The tester measures point-to-point (Rp-p) and surface to ground (Rg) resistance efficiently. Automatic test voltage selector adapts voltage to resistance conditions. Integral LED indicator displays battery power status. Lightweight and portable design aids onsite and field usage.

Compliant with EN 61340-5-1 ESD protection standards. Compact dimensions and analogue display optimize usability.

Environmentally, the RS PRO Surface ESD Tester ensures intensified product integrity and safety by enabling accurate static monitoring in industrial and electronic component testing scenarios.
