Designed to meet the EN 61340-5-1 footwear requirements tested per IEC 61340-4-3. Per IEC 61340-5-2 paragraph 5.2.8, footwear should be used “where personnel are mobile, in storing areas, operating large machinery, etc., it may be impractical or dangerous to have long cords attached to them.” Key: A. Two layer rubber material. Material consists of a layer which provides a non-marking interior surface that will not blemish shoes and a black conductive layer that provides for rapid and safe dissipation when used in conjunction with the safety resistor. B. Non-marking interior. C. 61cm long 8-strand grey nylon polyester grounding tab. D. One megohm current limiting resistor. E. Hook and loop fastening assembly. F. Elastic material for comfort. "For standing operations, personnel can be grounded via a wrist strap system or by a footwear-flooring system. When a footwear-flooring system is used, personnel shall wear ESD footwear on both feet and the two following conditions shall be met: • the total resistance of the system (from the person, through the footwear and flooring to ground) shall be less than 1,0 × 109 Ω; • the maximum body voltage generation shall be less than 100 V." [IEC 61340-5-1 Clause 5.3.3 Personnel Grounding] “Heel and toe grounders are used for employees and visitors in an ESD controlled area. Heel and toe grounders should be worn on each foot. If worn improperly, heel and toe grounders become ineffective. Heel grounders can easily lose contact with the floor and therefore, may require more monitoring than other types of footwear. It is important that the conductive ribbon has good electrical contact with the person’s body through direct contact with the person’s skin or by connection through the person’s socks.” [CLC/TR 61340-5-2 User guide clause 4.7.4.2.1 Heel and toe grounders] EUROPE © 2018 DESCO INDUSTRIES INC Employee Owned Item Description 249265 Heel Grounder, 1 Megohm resistor For additional information on the use and maintenance of foot grounders, please download Technical Bulletin TB-7515.
