4. The third type is the rivet style mat grounding snap. This type

of snap assembly is installed using a rivetting hand tool, item

#09867. Male snap studs and rivets are available as item

#09856 and female snap sockets and rivets are available as

item #09857. Groundable point labels are not included with

either the item #09856 or #09857 snap kits.

Selection of Common Point and

Floor Mat Grounding Systems

1. Determine the type of common point grounding system you will

use: barrier strip, bus bar, grounding block, or common point

ground cord. Desco recommends the use of common point

ground cords or our 09740 dual bench mount.

2. If you determine that you will use ground cords, you must

now determine the type of ground cord you will use for your

workstation grounds. ANSI/ESD S6.1 recommends that a

non-resistor ground cord be used to ground worksurfaces and

floor mats. However, cord may have a 1 megohm resistor for

non ESD puropses. Selection of the ground cord is determined

by user needs and specifications.

4. The 09740 dual bench mount allows the grounding of

two operators at one common point. The 09740 mounts

easily under the front edge of a workstation. For

detailed information on this common point grounding

device ask for Technical Bulletin TB-2003.
