GBP 57 ESD products 1. Product description 3. Commissioning GARANT ESD products meet the requirements of DIN Before initial commissioning, check that the protective devices are EN 61430-5-1 for use in Electrostatic Protected Areas (EPA). working correctly under the conditions at the installation location As a basic principle, compliance with different limit values and document this. The measurements must be taken by a trained than the standard is excluded. ESD specialist who has received appropriate training on the defined measuring methods according to DIN EN 61430-3-2. Please note that all installed plastic components (e.g. covering caps) and handles are not ESD-conductive. For the contact resistance measurements in accordance with DIN EN Delivered without ESD protective packaging. 61340-5-1, measuring electrodes with conductive carbon or graphite contact surfaces (R < 103 Ω), a Shore-A hardness between 50 and 70, a 2. Installation instructions diameter of 63.5 ± 1 mm and a weight of 2.5 ± 0.25 kg are prescribed by the manufacturer for the measurement of work and storage surfaces. The assembly instructions for the respective items can be found in our The use of silver particle measuring electrodes is not permitted. eShop: www.hoffmann-group.com. In the search field, enter the relevant item number. You will find a video of the assembly instructions with the images. The limit values for measuring the discharge resistances of protective devices used in an EPA must be checked in accordance with DIN EN 61340-5-1 as in Table 3 of the standard. Only the Human Body Model (HBM) is used. Damage caused by the Charged Device Model (CDM) is not considered. Example: 972180 800 Based on the IEC 61340-2-3 testing method, the following limit values must be complied with. The stated values refer to the measurement of resistance to ground Rg. Element being checked Limit value Work surfaces, storage racking Rg < 1 x 109 Ω and tool trolleys Seating Rg < 1 x 109 Ω 4. Maintenance and cleaning Checks must be performed regularly to ensure ESD protective devices in an EPA are working correctly. For this purpose, compliance with all Assembly video specified limit values must be verified and documented at least once a year. This must be done by the designated ESD coordinator at the company. Before taking the measurements, make sure that they are not falsified by contamination. Screw connections on ESD worktops (972160) which are designed in combination with threaded sockets may be tightened to Castors on mobile items that are used to ground the item must be a torque of max. 8 Nm! cleaned regularly. Depending on the degree of contamination, this may Screw connections on other attachments must have been be necessary on a daily basis to ensure safe functionality. tightened so as to ensure contact between the components. All conductive surfaces must only be cleaned with cleaning agents that do not form a film. We recommend the use of the GARANT GreenPlus ESD To ensure correct operation, it is essential to ground all ESD items. cleaner No. 972931 size 5, which is available at For this purpose, the item must be connected to the building grounding www.hoffmann-group.com. The use of incorrect cleaners using the marked grounding connection. Mobile items can be may damage the item and cause it to lose its conductive properties. grounded by the mobility unit when using a conductive floor. The Improper cleaning will void the warranty. grounding of several ESD protective devices must not be connected in series, but rather only individually. NOTICE! 5.
