INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing your new CT-8900 data-logging wrist and foot strap testing kit!

This is the finest tester available on the market.

The CT8900 combo meter is an instrument that concurrently measures the resistance of a wrist strap and

two foot straps within a few second period. The measurements are sent to a computer and can be judged for

valid readings, and then logged to a file. Many additional services are available as shown in the following

“features” section, such as having reports directly emailed to supervisors.

A typical test station consists of a badge reader to identify the user, the CT8900, a computer, and a monitor.

The user scans his badge and tests his straps. Multiple test stations are connected via an Ethernet network

to a common server that combines the data and issues reports.

For economy, multiple meters may be connected to one computer, but the user looses the ability to see the

direct readings on the monitor, and instead relies on the visual LED indicators on the meter.

The RS232 output allows many connection options:

•Direct connection of one meter to a computer RS232 port (standard method)

•Connection to a computer USB port via an inexpensive RS232 to USB converter

•Connection of multiple readers to a single computer with our serial multi-port card option

•Connection of multiple readers to a single computer with our RS232 to Ethernet converter option

•Connection of multiple readers to a single computer with our RS232 to wireless LAN converter option

TERMINOLOGY

Static fields can build up on humans as they walk along an insulative surface such as a carpet. A person with a high voltage static

charge can destroy or damage an integrated circuit or ET device either by touching or coming close to it. Thus most electronic

assemblers wear wrist straps or heel grounders to keep the wearers at the same voltage potential as the parts they are assembling.

Wrist straps and heel grounders/shoes may also be worn at chemical plants, explosive materials factories and storage areas.

A w ist st ap is simply a resistorized conductive cord that connects the wearer’s wrist to a grounded conductive mat that covers the

assembly bench. The resistor protects the static sensitive device as well as the worker.

A heel g ounde is a small resistorized strap that connects the wearer to their special conductive floor surface. This requires that

the floor be covered with a grounded conductive carpet, tile, mat or dissipative floor wax or paint (available through Static Solutions).

It is important that two heel grounders/shoes be worn to achieve proper static discharge.

Wrist straps and heel grounders simply act as a wire to drain off charges. However, to prevent accidental electrocution of the wearer

(should the wearer inadvertently touch an external high voltage source) a high resistance is built into the strap. The resistance is

typically between .5 to 2 megohms.

Thus straps and heel grounders have to be tested for two different malfunction conditions. If there is an open circuit or too high a

resistance, then it will fail to prevent high voltage build up and no longer control dissipation. If there is a short circuit or too low a

resistance (such as wet shoes), then it could fail to prevent electrocution, or could cause a rapid discharge which could emit a spark

or cause a secondary effect.

The W ist St ap and Dual Heel Teste checks the controlled conductive integrity of wrist straps and heel grounders/shoes for both

of the fault conditions mentioned above. It can be attached to a free stand or can be a wall mounted. or use, the wearer simply

inserts their wrist strap banana plug into the instrument, and stands on the foot plates (if wearing heel grounders or shoes), and

presses the button. An LED display shows the results of the test (OK, low or high), and an alarm sounds if the resistance is not

within its preset limits, and if the correct person and/or card is correctly identified from the data base. If the card or person is not

recognized, there will be no LED lights and there will be a buzzer sound emitted.

If the computer data logging option is used then the actual resistance is displayed on the monitor, is automatically recorded in the

computer, and can be printed in a daily/monthly report. If the resistance is changing day by day, the CT-8900 can be a valuable tool

to predict failures before they occur.

Unlike other testers, the CT-8900 Dual Heel Tester tests both feet and wrist at once and separately, and does not require the wearer

to shift feet and repeat the test. This saves time, and can insure proper testing. The CT-8900 cannot be fooled by a wearer who

dislikes wearing two grounders and merely presses the button twice while stepping on the footplate with the same foot.

The EOS 20/20 standard mandates that a company must record the results when a person tests their wrist/heel straps to enter a

static sensitive area, or must use a constant wrist strap monitor. In either case, when using shoes or heel grounders, a record must

be kept. If a constant wrist strap monitor is used, the CT-8900 will test it as well, and notify the user if it has failed.

The tester software can generate a number of reports, including informing the supervisor if the wearer does not perform a test once

or twice a day.

CALIBRATION VERIFICATION

The CT-8900 meter is calibrated to NIST traceable standards. The meter self calibrates itself with each use by comparing the

surface mounted 1-megohm resistor value and capacitor against the unknown value. After one year of use, the meter can be sent to

Static Solutions, Inc. to be re-calibrated and be issued a new NIST traceable certificate. Please call Static Solutions for the cost of

this service.

ISO TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION OF ESD HANDLING AND CONTROL MEASURES FOR

OPERATORS

A comprehensive interactive multimedia learning program with certification for those who work with static sensitive devices is

available as an option. The training is directed to assemblers and support personnel.

Objectives

Participants successfully completing the program will be able to:

•Describe conditions most likely to cause uncontrolled electrostatic discharge

•Identify three types of ESD protective packaging

•Explain the use of ionization and topical antistats for static control

•Describe the impact of environmental factors on static charge

•Describe the function of ESD protective items in a protected area

•List the requirements of an ESD protective workstation

•Describe the correct use of ESD protective smocks, wrist straps, and footwear

•Recognize correct use of personal protection around high voltage hazards

•List recommended ESD protective practices at workstations

Qualification and Certification Testing

The training course incorporates interactive learning checks throughout the instructional sequences. Certification tests are criterion-

referenced and module-based with feedback on every response for enhanced learning. The tests also include a scorebar to provide

the learner with continuous status information. Administrative access to dates and scores of tests, certifications, and re-certifications

is compliant with ISO quality-standards requirements.

Standards Compliant

The courses meet and comply with the ANSI/ESD S20.20 ESD control program guidelines as well as to JEDEC JESD625, IEC

61340-5, and IPC-610 standards.

Learning station system requirements

Install the training course software on the computer that the employees will be trained. The computer learning station will require:

•a PC style Pentium class computer with a Microsoft operating system Windows 2000/XP is preferred.

•a color monitor

•speakers.

•a network connection to the EsdTest server so that the EsdTest server can read the training course data base

•an internet connection to transfer license codes over.

Setup of training courses

The training course is sold on a per seat license basis. A separate license seat must be pre purchased from Static Solutions for each

employee who takes the course. Once the course is taken, a license seat is good for a 12 month period. If you have not purchased

a group of license seats yet, please contact Static Solutions.

The training course installation software is located on our EsdTest installation CD. After installing the EsdTest software, a window

will appear and ask if you would like to install the training software. The software can also be installed later by opening the

LTechCP1 subdirectory on our installation CD, and running Setup.exe. The training course installation manual

LTechInstallationGuide.pdf is also located in that subdirectory.

Install the software on the training course CD, as per the installation directions contained in the training course CD package. Once

the course software is installed, the course software will ask for the company name, telephone number, and email address. Once

this information has been entered, the registration license number will be emailed back, and they can then be entered (or cut and

pasted from the email) into the training program. The company ESD administrator can than either register the IDs of all the

employees who will be taking the course (has to be the same ID as the one entered into the EsdTest sytem data base) into the

training course system, or the employee/trainee can enter his/her employee ID when first registering to take the training course.

Once registered, the trainee can sign in with just his name and ID number.

Static Solutions CT-8900 Combo Tester Instructions 1/15/2015

The AutoGenerate email report task scheduler should be setup to run the "Training" report every week or so.

Training Program Sequence of Events

1. Employees normally test their straps at the EsdTest station before entering the ESD sensitive work area.

2. A month or so before the employee's certification is due to expire, the test station will flash a warning.

3. Sometime during the next month, the employee should then spend one to two hours taking the recertification training

course at the learning station computer. They must log in with their EsdTest ID number.

4. The EsdTest server periodically runs the "Training" report in the Auto email report generator task scheduler which then

searches the training course data base for all similar employee ID numbers that are in the EsdTest data base, and updates

the EsdTest data base certification dates with the date the employee passed the training course. The report will list all

employees who have recently passed the training course.

5. If the employee does not pass the course before his/her certification date expires, they will not be allowed to test their

straps (if the EsdTest certification window setup has been so configured).

6. To generate a list of expired or soon to expire employee certifications, run the Certification report.

TESTING OF WRIST STRAPS AND FOOTWEAR

Daily testing of wrist straps and footwear is mandatory to ensure the grounding devices function properly and to minimize charge

generation on the human body, which may cause damage to integrated circuits. Partially conductive footwear and wrist straps

are the primary techniques used to drain and minimize electrical charges from the body. The wrist and foot straps typically have

a 1 megohm or two megohm resistor built into them. Too low a resistance can cause rapid discharge resulting in sparking and

failures. Low resistance wrist or foot straps can also cause an electrical shock to the operator if he touches a high voltage circuit.

On the other hand, open circuit or broken straps can cause high electrical resistant paths that result in static buildup, arcing, and

integrated circuit damage.

To adapt to ISO-9000 certification the results should be recorded in a computer database or printed to hard copy as specified in

EOS 20/20 specification.

EQUIPMENT

Equipment Required

1. A computer with a 486DX or higher (Pentium or similar) microprocessor. Larger hard drives (2 G or more) will store more

employee data.

2. Windows operating system (Windows NT/2000/XP/7/8).

3. An operable serial communication (comm.) port with the standard +/-12 volt signal levels, (or a USB port with a fully compliant

+/-12V RS232 to USB converter) on the computer. HID/CASI-RUSCO/MOTOROLA/AWID USB proximity readers require a

USB port. The RS232 versions require an additional serial communication port (or USB to RS232 converter). Note that some

laptops may not use the full legal standard +/-12 volt RS232 comm. port signal levels, so they will not work, in which case use

an RS232/USB converter..

4. A LAN network-able system is needed for networking multiple testers. This may be a hard wire or wireless modem. (Static

Solutions is not responsible for the installation or maintenance of the network after the software is installed.)

5. To use e-mail feature, users will need an SMPT email host provider, or a MAPI compliant e-mail program such as Microsoft

Outlook 2000 (without the email security update) Outlook Express, or Windows Live Mail (if using Windows 7 OS). Eudora
