Foot Grounders - Grounding,
Testing, and Maintenance
Description
Desco’s complete line of foot grounders has been
created to provide a continuous ground path
between the operator and a properly grounded ESD
protected flooring. Foot grounders are designed for
use in applications where user mobility is required,
such as wave solder, kitting, and quality control. Per
ANSI/ESD S20.20 Paragraph 6.2.2.2, “ESD
protective flooring used with approved footwear,
may be used as an alternative to the wrist strap
system for standing operations.” Foot grounders
quickly and effectively drain the static charges which
collect on personnel during normal, everyday
activities.
General Guidelines
1. It is recommended that foot grounders be worn
on both feet, in order to assure that a continuous
path to ground is maintained.
2. Grounding tabs should be tucked inside the shoe
with as much contact area as possible to the bottom
of the stockinged foot. Foot grounders rely upon the
perspiration in the shoe to sustain electrical contact
between the conductive grounding tab and the
body.
3. Foot grounders should be used in conjunction
with floor surfaces which have a surface resistance
of less than 1 x 10E9 ohms.
4. A current limiting one or two megohm resistor in
series with the grounding tab is recommended.
Testing Your Foot Grounders
The best test of your foot grounder is one that
includes all three components: the individual foot
grounder, the grounding tab and the interface
between the grounding tab and the wearer’s
sweatlayer.
Desco has testers designed to properly test foot
grounders. For more detailed information on these
testers, ask for technical bulletins TB-2040 (19252,
19253).
If you obtain a fail reading from the tester you should
stop working and clean the foot ground and
grounding tab. Retest after cleaning. If the unit still
fails, replace the foot grounder. Retest the system
before beginning work.

Cleaning
Foot grounders are to ground static charges, while
dirt generally provides an insulative layer adversely
effecting reliability. For proper operation, the Foot
Grounder and its conductive strip must be kept clean.
The rubber portion of the Foot Grounder should be
cleaned using Desco’s Reztore™ Antistatic Surface &
Mat Cleaner or “Static-Wipes” wipers. An alternative
would be to clean using isopropyl alcohol. The Desco
cleaning products are specially formulated for
cleaning ESD control components and are silicone
free. This is critical as silicone is an insulator. Desco
ESD cleaners should not be used to clean the nylon
polyester grounding tab.
Foot Grounders can be safely hand or machine
washed on gentle cycle. Mild detergents, such as
Woolite
water are recommended. However, care must be
taken to ensure that these detergents are silicone
free.

HEEL GROUNDERS
Desco model 07560, 17200, 17202, 17250, 17252,
and 17260 heel grounders are designed for use on
standard shoes. All Desco foot grounders can be
easily adjusted to fit the individual wearer. Desco heel
grounders have a dissipative lining that will not mar
white or light colored shoes. Models 07560, 17200,
17202, and 17252 have a current limiting one or two
megohm resistor in series with the grounding tab.
Models 17250 and have no resistor.

D-RING HEEL GROUNDERS
Desco model 07590 heel grounders are equipped
with an elastic D-ring fastening system which
provides snug cinching of the ankle strap and allows
"flex" during walking. They are designed for use on
most types of shoes and boots. The light blue lining
prevents marring on white or light colored shoes.
