AC Outlet Analyzer and Wrist Strap Tester
This AC outlet analyzer and wrist strap tester from DESCO, Desco 98135, verifies correct AC outlet wiring, provides a verified ground point, and tests the operator's path-to-ground via a wrist strap. The unit's visual and audible indicators show pass/fail conditions for both the AC outlet and the wrist strap test.Functionality
- Verifies correct AC outlet wiring and intact equipment grounding conductor.
- Provides a verified ground point via a monitored ground terminal/banana-jack.
- Tests the path-to-ground integrity of an operator wrist strap upon activation of the test button.
- Visual and audible indicators show pass/fail for the outlet and pass for the wrist strap.
Typical Applications
- Verifying that an AC outlet is correctly wired by confirming hot, neutral, and equipment grounding conductor.
- Providing a verified ground point for connecting a single-wire wrist strap via a banana jack.
- Testing the path-to-ground for a wrist strap by touching the test button while the wrist strap is connected, to determine if the wrist strap's resistance is within the factory-set limits.
Operation and Indicators
When the unit is connected to an AC outlet, a green LED indicates that both the outlet's wiring and the path-to-equipment-ground are intact. A red LED and an audible alarm indicate incorrect wiring or missing ground connection. The wrist strap test is performed by inserting a single-wire wrist strap cord into the wrist strap jack and touching the test button; a passed test is indicated by a green LED and tone.
