Connect Anti Static Mat To Ground

The solderless terminal can be connected to an electrical outlet using the screw in the outlet cover.

Connect anti static mat to ground.

The snap is where you will connect the grounding cable. If you connect earth directly to that surface it will dissipate charge. Use the cord to connect all electrically static dissipative floor mats to a building ground. Attach the other end of the strap to a common ground.

To ground anti static mats we insert a conductive snap on the corner of the anti static mat. If an anti static mat is isolated from electrical ground by insulators carpets painted floors or tables you need to connect it to an electrical outlet by using a grounding cable. Integral 1 x 10 6 ohm 1 megaohm resistor ground cord is 15. This eyelet is a metal ring that you can screw into the nearest electrical outlet to transfer static from the ground to the ground line in your building.

Turn mat over and insert snap and screw into threaded post on the underside of the mat. At the other end of the cord attached to your wrist strap is an alligator clip that you can use to connect yourself to a common ground. If you connect earth directly to that surface it will dissipate charge. However you can t and shouldn t rely on that as a safe known or reliable resistance to earth.

Whichever cable you use it will have a ground cable attached to it that ends in an eyelet. Align screw with post on the underside of ground cord and screw it firmly into the post. At a static free work station a common ground point will be noted by a symbol that looks like a black and white target.
