Static Solutions OHM-STAT™ CT-8900 Combination Data Logger Tester (Deluxe) — Wrist Strap + Heel Grounder Combo Tester with Fast Results, Data Logging, Reporting, and ID/Badge Options (Kit Configurations Available)
ESD Compliance Verification Combo Tester Data Logger + Reports Wrist Strap + Heel Grounders Manufacturing + Lab + Cleanroom Electronics

Overview

The CT-8900 Combination Data Logger Tester (Deluxe) is designed to support high-accountability ESD programs by testing wrist straps and heel grounders individually and simultaneously, then recording results for reporting and audit readiness. In electronics cleanrooms and other ESD Protected Areas (EPAs), personnel grounding is a primary control—this tester helps verify that control before work begins.

The CT-8900 platform is commonly used where organizations need repeatable testing, employee traceability, and reliable recordkeeping across one station or multiple stations.


Why combo testing matters (ESD risk control)
  • Stops defects at the door: verifies personnel grounding devices before handling ESD-sensitive items.
  • Reduces program drift: captures real resistivity values instead of relying on assumptions or manual logbooks.
  • Improves accountability: ties results to an employee ID/badge workflow and supports compliance verification reporting.
  • Fast throughput: designed for quick testing to reduce bottlenecks at shift change and entry points.

Kit options (choose the configuration that matches your entry point)
  • CT-8900 = Combo Tester + Footplate + Stand
  • CT-8925 = Combo Tester + Footplate
  • CT-8920 = Combo Tester (Tester Only)
  • CT-8960 HID = Combo Tester + Footplate + Stand + HID Reader

Notes: kits are listed with software and accessory components; the “tester only” configuration is listed with software only.


Typical applications
  • Electronics manufacturing and assembly lines (EPA entry points)
  • Cleanroom electronics and controlled environments where both contamination discipline and ESD control matter
  • Repair benches, lab environments, test-and-measure stations, and RoHS-focused areas
  • Facilities that need automatic reporting, employee logs, and scalable multi-station tracking

Key capabilities (published)
What it tests Wrist strap and heel grounders (individually and simultaneously)
Test speed / workflow Designed to test, print, store, and email results in under ~3 seconds (per published listing)
Limits / calibration Adjustable limits; automatic calibration (as listed)
Measurement range 100 kΩ to 100 MΩ (with an option to 1000 MΩ)
Reporting + logs Exception reports; daily/monthly/entire log reporting; data import into spreadsheets/databases (as listed)
Employee capacity Expandable employee log listed up to 30,000

Network resilience Listed LAN connectivity; “data is safe if network fails” (as stated)
Access control expansion Listed upgrade path for door/bell actions when users pass a test

Practical note: acceptance limits should be aligned to your ESD Control Plan and the requirements of applicable standards and customer specs. The CT-8900 platform is designed to make that verification fast, repeatable, and reportable.

ESD S20.20 Program Concepts Compliance Verification Wrist Strap + Footwear/Flooring Recordkeeping & Reporting

ESD failures are rarely caused by one dramatic mistake. More often, they come from slow drift: worn heel grounders, broken cords, poor skin contact, residue on footwear, or an operator who “assumes” they are grounded. Strong ESD programs reduce this risk by verifying the most important control: personnel grounding.

Standards-based ESD programs are generally built around an ESD Control Plan, training, and compliance verification. In practice, that means you need a repeatable way to confirm wrist straps and footwear systems are working—and a way to prove it when quality, customers, or auditors ask.


1) Personnel grounding: the first line of defense

In an ESD Protected Area (EPA), people are a major source of charge generation. This is why ESD programs typically require grounding through a wrist strap system for seated operations or a footwear/flooring system (or wrist strap) for standing operations.

  • Cleanroom electronics: ESD controls protect sensitive devices while supporting stable, repeatable handling behavior.
  • General manufacturing and labs: ESD controls help reduce failures, rework, and intermittent “no fault found” returns.
  • Best practice: verify grounding devices at the start of the shift and at controlled re-entry points.

2) Why “combo testing” is operationally smarter than separate stations

Separate wrist strap testers and footwear testers can create lines, skipped steps, and inconsistent logging. A combo tester simplifies the process: the operator tests once, gets a clear pass/fail message, and the result is stored under their identity.

The CT-8900 platform is designed to test wrist straps and heel grounders individually and simultaneously, with adjustable resistivity limits and fast results. Many facilities use this style of station at EPA entrances, gowning/airlock transitions, or critical workcell entry points.


3) What “audit-ready” looks like in an ESD program

Audits typically focus on two questions: (1) Do you have an ESD Control Plan? (2) Can you demonstrate that controls are verified and maintained? Verification tools matter because they generate the evidence needed for compliance verification and continuous improvement.

CT-8900 reporting and control concepts (as listed)
  • Exception reporting: identify failures quickly (by person, location, or timeframe).
  • Employee log scale: supports large organizations with expandable personnel records.
  • ID enforcement: supports badge/ID workflows and can help prevent unauthorized entry without proper identification.
  • Expandable control: can be configured to support access-control actions when users pass a test.

4) Implementation checklist (fast to deploy, easy to sustain)
  1. Define pass/fail limits in your ESD Control Plan (align to standards and customer requirements).
  2. Place the tester at the correct choke point: EPA entry, gowning/transition, or workcell entrance.
  3. Assign ownership: who reviews exception reports, who replaces failed devices, who retrains operators.
  4. Standardize the response to failures: swap the cord/strap/heel grounder, re-test, and document corrective action.
  5. Trend the data: trending reveals drift (cleaning residue, wear, or poor contact) before it becomes a quality event.

Standards references (verified sources)
  • ANSI/ESD S20.20 concepts include training, compliance verification, and personnel grounding within an ESD control program.
  • ESD TR53 provides compliance verification test procedures and troubleshooting guidance that can be used for the Compliance Verification Plan requirements of ANSI/ESD S20.20.
  • IEC 61340-5-1 provides administrative and technical requirements for establishing, implementing, and maintaining an ESD control program.

Why organizations source ESD stations from SOSCleanroom
  • Systems thinking: we help you build the complete workflow—tester, wearables, monitors, verification tools, and replenishment support.
  • Program sustainability: Auto-Ship for consumables reduces “program interruption” risk.
  • Cleanroom + non-cleanroom expertise: electronics cleanrooms, labs, repair benches, and general industrial EPAs.
