Glove CAFE Test Electrode

Constant Area and Force Electrode (CAFE) from DESCO

This Constant Area and Force Electrode (CAFE) from DESCO, Desco 19298 Glove CAFE, is designed for testing gloves and finger cots to determine their electrical resistance. The product measures electrical resistance in accordance with ANSI/ESD SP15.1 and comes with a resistor-free wrist cord.

Function and compatibility

• Purpose: Determination of intrinsic resistance of gloves and finger cots, as well as measurement of resistance as a system together with personnel in accordance with ANSI/ESD SP15.1.
• Compatibility: Can be connected to Desco surface resistance meters including 19290, 19784, and 19640 (listed in the manufacturer's technical bulletin).
• Included accessories: One wrist cord without a resistor.

Operation (brief)

• Put on a wrist strap and snap the wrist cord to the strap.
• Connect the wrist cord to one input of the resistance meter and the Glove CAFE to the other.
• Put the glove on the same hand as the wrist strap, wait at least 15 seconds, and place the Glove CAFE on the fingerprint side of the thumb or index finger before measuring.

See the manufacturer's technical bulletin for detailed installation, operation, and maintenance information.
