The SmartLog X 3 ID is a 2 digit field with valid I.D. number 00 through 63. Each SmartLog X 3 should have a different I.D.# if on the same communication line. The SmartLog X 3 should be numbered sequentially starting with 00, so that automatic polling in the software will not be interrupted. 6. The Daylight Option is to enable daylight savings in the clock. 7. Port expand should be set to yes (factory default). 8. Press Enter button once more to cycle to next setting before hitting Menu button to exit. Note: Setting will not change if you don t cycle to the next setting (by hitting the Enter button). B. Terminator Jumper, RS-485 Switch, RS-232 Switch and Relay Terminal 1. Terminator Jumper needs to be jumper only if clocks are in a daisy-chain. Jumper the first Smartlog X 3 and the last Smartlog X 3 on the daisy-chain only. Stand alone Smartlog X 3 does not need to be jumper. 2. RS-485 comes default on SLAVE position (right side) and does not need to be switched unless unit is on a daisy-chain. For units on a daisy-chain set RS-485 to MASTER (left position) for the first Smartlog X 3 (master clock) only. 3. Relay Terminal. The relay connections can be made on the back of the SmartLog X 3 (refer to figure 1) and can be used to control doors, gates, etc. The relay can hold a max of 5A 250VAC/30VDC and 10A125VAC. 4. RS-232 Interface. RS-232 interface is described by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) in their specifications as EIA-232 or RS-232. Special consideration should be used when installing the communications cable. Keep a 3-foot distance of separation parallel from any EMF source (power wires and fluorescent light etc.) The cable length shall not exceed 50 feet from PC to unit. Ethernet adapter should be used if data cable exceeds 50 feet. B. Cable Connections Refer to Figure 2 1. IMPORTANT PC to First Smartlog X 3 Data Connection: Be sure to use the cable provided inside box with unit. Connect the cable from the right port (RS-232) of the Smartlog X 3 to the DB9 serial adapter connected to an open serial port on the PC used. Cable is non-inverted and flat type when laid across table top if user desires to make his/her own cable. Make sure cable is no longer than 50ft from the PC to the first Smartlog X 3. TB-6541 Page 4 of 23 Revision 08/05

5 2. Smartlog X 3 to Smartlog X 3 Data Connection: These cables are different from the cable supplied in the box with the Smartlog X 3. These cables are inverted and are the same type of cables used in wiring of home telephones. Connect these cable to the left port (RS-485) of first Smartlog to the left port (RS-485) of the second Smartlog X 3 only. Note: No other clocks except the first clock (master clock) will use the right port (RS- 232), all other will connect through the left port (RS-485) in parallel, a RJ11 splitter will be needed for daisy-chaining more than two units. C. Mounting the SmartLog X 3 And Scanner (Optional) 1. Mount Smartlog X 3 at convenient location, makes sure to mount the SmartLog X 3 at a height above the floor where all operators can see the display of the Smartlog X 3 and perform the necessary tests.

Click on Global to return to the Options screen or on Done to return to the main screen. NOTE: The maximum number of characters (numeric only no alpha) allowed on an ID card is 16. ID Start Position is the option that defines the starting position in the employee ID when it is read by the SmartLog X 3. ID Length is the option that defines the number of characters you want the SmartLog X 3 to store for each employee ID. TB-6541 Page 8 of 23 Revision 08/05

9 Relay on time is the option that defines the amount of time the SmartLog X 3 relay remains on when there is a PASS/SAFE or NO TEST condition. Note: Unit will continuously beep for the duration of the relay time. Default test is the option that defines what function an employee must perform if they are not identified in the employee table stored in the SmartLog X 3. The options are as follows. Access Denied (log): Denies access to user and records their ID# Access Denied: Denies access to user, but does not record their ID# No Test Required: Allows user access without performing any test and records their ID# Wrist Strap Only: Prompts the user to test their wrist strap, records the test results with their ID# and a time/date stamp. If test is successful, relay is activated Footwear Only: Prompts the user to test their footwear, records the test results with their ID# and a time/date stamp. If test is successful, relay is activated Wrist Strap and Footwear: Prompts the user to test their wrist strap, if wrist strap passes, prompts user to test their footwear. At end of test, records results with their ID# and a time/date stamp. If both test results in a pass, relay is activated TB-6541 Page 9 of 23 Revision 08/05

10 Wrist Strap or Footwear: Prompts the user to conduct a test. User chooses test and at end of test, the results with their ID# and a time/date stamp are recorded. If test is successful, relay is activated Time and Date are set from your computers internal clock. You may select the date format as either mm/dd/yy, dd/mm/yy, or yy/mm/dd. Once you have selected the options, click on the Program All button to program the SmartLogs. Click on Done to return to the main screen.

Step 4: Auto Polling To enable auto polling, click on configure then auto polling. Select poll rate by check on polling enable box and set hours/minutes. TB-6541 Page 10 of 23 Revision 08/05

11 Step 5: Network and Auto-Archiving Click on configure, select network and auto archiving. Check network option enabled box. Select folder that you would like data to be copied to. Checked auto-archiving enabled. Select interval: daily/weekly/monthly. If weekly is selected, then choose logging day. Note: Software will auto-archive at 12:00 midnight, so computer will need to be on for this feature to work. Select date format for file name and file type (ASCII text, Excel, Access). Step 6: Change Password Password can be changed if and only if the user know the old password and the MASTER password to overwrite the old one. (Default password is supervisor ) TB-6541 Page 11 of 23 Revision 08/05

12 Step 7: Employee Database From the main screen menu bar select Employees. This will bring you to the Employee Database screen. From here, you can create and edit your employee database as well as save, clear, open, import, and download it (see below for details on these options.) The SmartLog X 3 only stores the employee ID and a time/date stamp with each test result. In order to associate other employee information (last name, first name, and notes) with an ID#, you must enter the data into the employee database. You may also associate a specific test function with each employee in the database (see the Configuring Options section above for a description of each test function.) Up to 1000 employees may be stored in each SmartLog X 3. Important notes: The length of the employee ID# must match the ID Length programmed into each SmartLog X 3 (see Configuring Options above.) The Employee ID# must be unique to each employee. Clearing an Employee Database From the main screen menu bar select Employees. This will bring you to the Employee Database screen. From the menu bar select File and then Clear. This will delete all employees from the current database. Step 8: Importing an Employee Database This feature allows you to import employee databases that are in ASCII text format. This give you the option of using a database you already have in another software package. Each employee must be on a separate line and each line must have the following format. Note: Before importing, 1 employee record has to be manually added or error will occur. Last Name<delimiter>First Name<delimiter>Employee ID<delimiter>Notes1<delimiter> Notes2<delimiter> Notes3<delimiter> Notes4<delimiter>Test Required The <delimiter> is the character you use to separate the data. You can choose from the following options; tab, comma, colon, or semicolon. For example, if the delimiter was a comma, a line in the database might look as follows. Example: Smith,John, ,1st shift,hourly employee,1 year,assembly line4,wrist Strap Only From the main screen menu bar select Employees. This will bring you to the Employee Database screen. From the menu bar select File and then Import. Select the delimiter, TB-6541 Page 12 of 23 Revision 08/05

13 filename and path of the database file and click on Import. Any line in the file that does not match the format will be ignored. Step 9: Saving an Employee Database From the main screen menu bar select Employees. This will bring you to the Employee Database screen. From the menu bar select File and then Save As. Select the filename and path of the database file and click on Save. The software stores the database in Microsoft Access format so keep the file extension.mdb. Step 10: Opening an Employee Database This feature allows you to retrieve employee databases that you have previously saved with the SmartLog software. It is not intended for importing other employee databases. To import a database, see Importing an Employee Database section below. From the main screen menu bar select Employees. This will bring you to the Employee Database screen. From the menu bar select File and then Open. Select the filename and path of the database file and click on Open. Important Note: When you open a database, it will overwrite the current database. Therefore, before you open a database, make sure you save any changes you want to keep in the current database by saving that database. Step 11: Retrieving data from the SmartLog X 3 All the test results are stored in the SmartLogs until you retrieve them with the software. Each SmartLog X 3 can hold 1000 test results. Once you retrieve the data, it is stored in the test results database and cleared from the SmartLogs X 3. Note: to avoid holding over 1000 records, polling interval should be set properly. Viewing data in the SmartLogs X 3 At certain times, you may want to view the data in the SmartLogs X 3, but not store it and clear it. To do this you must use the view data feature. Form the main screen menu bar select Data and then View New Data. To view data from a specific SmartLog X 3, click on that SmartLog X 3 in the Select SmartLogX 3 list and then on the View Selected button. If you wish to view data from all the SmartLogs X 3, click on the View All button. Click on the Done button to return to the main TB-6541 Page 13 of 23 Revision 08/05

14 To manually retrieve the data, from the main screen menu bar select Data and then select Retrieve New Data. To retrieve data from a specific SmartLog X 3, click on that SmartLog X 3, in the Select SmartLog X 3 list and then on the Retrieve Selected button. If you wish to retrieve data from all the SmartLogs X 3, click on the Retrieve All button. Click on the Done button to return to the main screen. You may also set up the software to have you computer automatically retrieve data from the SmartLog X 3, at specific time intervals. To do this, from the main screen menu bar select Configure and then Autopolling. If autopolling is not already enabled, click on the Autopolling Enabled box. Select the time interval between polls (data retrievals.) Because the software runs in the Windows multi-tasking environment, it will continue to autopoll even when it is not the active program. If you wish to disable autopolling when the SmartLog X 3, software is not the active program, click on the disable Autopolling when program is minimized button. When you return to the main screen, you will see a message that indicates when the next AutoFill will take place. Auto polling will be activated when the program is started if auto polling was enabled when the program was terminated. After you have made your selections, click on the Close button to return to the main screen. To see the data that was retrieved, see the section below on Test Results Database. You may want to clear data in the SmartLog X 3, from tests performed during setup. To do this, got to the Advanced Options screen, select the appropriate SmartLog X 3, and click on the Clear Data button. Test Results Database: After data has been retrieved, it is stored in the test results database (smartlog.mdb). To view the database, from the main screen menu bar select Data and then View Database. You can sort the data or find specific records with the menu options Sort and Find. The employee last name, first name, and notes information is associated with the test results by cross referencing the employee ID# retrieved from the SmartLog X 3, with the employee ID# in the employee database at the time of retrieval. If you wish to update the employee information with information from the current database, click on the Update menu selection. TB-6541 Page 14 of 23 Revision 08/05

15 To clear the database or make copies of it, see the sections Archiving Database and Copying Database below. Step 12: Archiving Database As you retrieve more and more data, the database will grow quite large. To keep it at a manageable size, you should periodically archive it. Archiving will copy the database to another file and clear it out. You can choose one of three file types to archive to; Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, or ASCII text. To archive, from the main screen menu bar select File and then Archive Database. Select the file type, filename, and path of the new database file and click on Archive. When you are finished, click on Done to return to the main screen. Note: The date format is always mm/dd/yy when archiving the database in Access or Excel format. You can change this format once you bring the archived database into Access or Excel. Step 12: Copying Database You may have a set schedule, i.e. weekly, for archiving the data, but occasionally need a copy of the database. To make a copy of the database, but not clear it out, you must use the copy database feature. You can choose one of three file types to copy to; Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, or ASCII text. To copy the database, from the main screen menu bar select File and then Copy Database. Select the file type, filename, and path of the new database file and click on Copy. When you are finished, click on Done to return to the main screen. Note: The date format is always mm/dd/yy when copying the database in Access or Excel format. You can change this format once you bring the copied database into Access or Excel. SmartLog X 3TM Trouble Shooting Guide Problem 1: The host computer can t recognize the SmartLog X 3TM. a.

18 50407/50413 DUAL INDEPENDENT FOOTWEAR AND WRIST STRAP TESTER Installation and Operating Instructions The Desco EMIT Dual Independent Footwear and Wrist Strap Tester is designed to test personal grounding devices, wrist strap and ESD footwear, to satisfy the requirements and the recommendations of the ESD Association. Per ANSI/ESD S20.20 Paragraph Personnel Grounding Guidance A log should be maintained which verifies that personnel have tested their personal grounding devices. (Wrist Straps and ESD Footwear) Per ESD- S1.1 paragraph Frequency of Functional Testing The wrist strap system should be tested daily to ensure proper electrical value. Per ESD Handbook TR paragraph Additional User Wrist Strap Testing Proper testing of the wrist strap includes the resistance of the groundable point on the end of the cord, the cord itself, the resistor, the cord-to cuff snap connector, the resistance of the interface of the cuff, the cuff/wrist interface, and the resistance of the person between the wrist and the hand that contacts the test electrode. Per ESD Handbook TR paragraph Wrist Strap Ground Cord At first glance, the ground cord appears to be a relatively simple assembly. However, the design requirements are TB-6541 Page 18 of 23 Revision 08/05

19 considerable, given the wide range of user applications and the durability requirements of constant tugging, flexing, and dragging over the edge of workstation tops and equipment chassis. Per ESD SP9.2 Appendix B Foot Grounder Usage Guidance Compliance verification should be performed prior to each use (daily, shift change, etc.). The accumulation of insulative materials may increase the foot grounder system resistance. If foot grounders are worn outside the ESD protected area, testing for functionality before reentry to the ESD protected area should be considered. The test resistance limits for footwear and wrist strap tests are controlled by the DIP switches inside the tester. For a configuration different than the default settings, remove the unit from the sign, remove the back of the case, and reset the DIP switches inside the unit as desired. Footwear resistance range selection. DIP switches 1 & 2 control the HIGH limit for the footwear test selection as follows: Switch 1 Switch 2 High Limit Resistance ON ON 10 Megohms (1 X 10 7 ) OFF OFF 35 Megohms (3.5 X 10 7 ) DEFAULT SETTING ON OFF 100 Megohms (1 X 10 8 ) OFF ON 1 Gigohm (1 x 10 9 ) *At 1 Gigohms high limit resistance, a dirty footplate could result in a false pass. When using this setting, special care must be taken to keep the footplate clean. DIP switches 3 & 4 control the LOW limit for the footwear test selection as follows: Switch 3 Switch 4 Low Limit Resistance ON OFF 100 Kilohms (1 X 10 5 ) OFF ON 1 Megohms (1 X 10 6 ) DEFAULT SETTING OFF OFF 10 Kilohms The Optional settings allow the use of custom resistance values when installed. Wrist strap test option selection. DIP switch 5 must be ON (DEFAULT SETTING) for the wrist strap test to be active. If the wrist strap test is disabled by DIP switch 5 being OFF, the 3 LEDs for this test will remain OFF at all times. The LOW limit for the wrist strap test is set to 1 Meghms and can not be changed by the user. DIP switch 6 in the ON position (DEFAULT SETTING - USA) sets the HIGH limit for the wrist strap test to 10 Megohms (10 7 ). DIP switch 6 in the OFF position (DEFAULT SETTING EUROPE) sets the HIGH limit for the wrist strap test to 35 Megohms (3.5 X 10 7 ). TB-6541 Page 19 of 23 Revision 08/05

20 Installation Insert one stereo plug of the Stereo Plug to Stereo Plug into the stereo jack on the bottom of the tester. (See Figure 1.) Insert the other end of the stereo plug into the stereo jack at the back of the foot plate. Verify that both plugs are fully inserted and tight. Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 Alarm Adjustment Connect stereo wire to footplate 1 & 2: closed/on standby 2 & 3: opened/on standby 2 = com Operation A relay with both normally open and normally closed contacts is included for your convenience. The terminal block on the bottom of the tester has terminals for normally closed, common, and normally open going from left to right. (See Figure 1.) Pushing the touch plate on the front panel starts the test. During the test all LEDs will be OFF to indicate that a test is in progress. The touch plate must remain depressed until the test results are displayed. Depending on the configuration of the tester, the test could require up to three (3) seconds. The resistance is checked from the touch plate to the corresponding foot plate for each foot and from the touch plate to the wrist strap connector jacks through the operator. A wrist strap must be plugged into the appropriate jack before the touch plate is depressed if the wrist strap option is activated. (See wrist strap option selection on page 2 above.) The 50407/50413 can test both single and dual wrist straps. Single wrist straps are plugged into the banana jack on the left side of the tester. (See Figure 2.) Dual wrist straps are plugged into the phono jack on the left side of the tester. (See Figure 2.) The phono jack (dual wrist strap) is above the banana jack (single wrist strap). Automatically determines what type of wrist strap is being tested. The LEDs will turn off while the test is in progress; the test results for each foot and wrist strap will then be displayed for approximately three (3) seconds. If all test results are SAFE the internal relay will be activated while the test results are displayed. The relay can TB-6541 Page 20 of 23 Revision 08/05

21 be used for opening an electric lock to an ESD sensitive area. The maximum contact rating is: 0.3A 110VAC, 0.5A 125VAC. If any of the test results are failed HIGH or LOW an audible alarm will sound. The LED(s) indicating the failed test will be displayed for approximately three (3) seconds, and the internal relay will not activate. CALIBRATION AND PERIODIC TESTING: The accuracy is specified as: 1. +5% for 1 Megohms and lower resistance ranges % for 1 Megohms and higher resistance ranges. Does not require calibration and cannot be calibrated. A periodic check (once every 6 to 12 months) using a precision resistance box should be performed to verify proper operation. A limit comparator, the 50401, can be purchased for the convenient periodic. The contains 14 standard resistors to check the following high and low limit ranges: 1. 10K low 2. 10K safe K low K safe 5. 1M low 6. 1M safe 7. 10M safe 8. 10M high 9. 35M safe M high M safe M high 13. 1G safe 14. 1G high TESTING PROCEDURE: Wrist strap operation test. 1.
