ACL Staticide ACL 395 Surface Resistivity Meter Includes Tester and Carrying Case 1 Unit
ACL Staticide ACL 395 — Surface Resistivity Meter with Carrying Case
The ACL Staticide ACL 395 is a handheld surface resistivity meter designed for ESD auditing and quality assurance checks on packaging and assembly lines. Featuring sophisticated circuitry that delivers megohmmeter-level performance at an economical price, the ACL 395 uses a color-coded LED logarithmic scale for fast, easy resistance readings. Half-decade markings provide a closer indication of actual measured values within each decade range. Conductive rubber rails ensure superior electrode contact. Includes tester and carrying case. When used with optional 5-lb probes, the ACL 395 complies with IEC 61340-4-1, ANSI/ESD STM 4.1, and ANSI/ESD STM7.1 for RTG and RTT testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the ACL 395 measure?
The ACL 395 measures surface resistivity and surface resistance of ESD-sensitive materials including worksurface mats, floor mats, packaging materials, garments, and other surfaces in an ESD Protected Area (EPA). It uses parallel bar electrodes per ASTM D257 to provide standardized measurements across a wide resistance range.
What ESD standards does the ACL 395 comply with?
When used with the optional 5-lb probes, the ACL 395 complies with IEC 61340-4-1, ANSI/ESD STM 4.1, and ANSI/ESD STM7.1 for RTG (resistance-to-ground) and RTT (resistance-to-topside) testing. This makes it suitable for formal ESD audits in material production and laboratory environments.
How do I read the ACL 395 LED display?
The ACL 395 uses a 4-color LED logarithmic scale with half-decade markings. Each color zone corresponds to a resistance range (conductive, dissipative, insulative, and warning). The half-decade markings allow you to estimate where within a decade the actual measurement falls, providing greater precision than a simple decade-only display.
Does the ACL 395 include a calibration certificate?
Yes — the ACL 395 ships with a calibration certificate, making it ready for use in calibrated ESD audit and quality assurance programs without requiring additional calibration before first use.
What is the difference between the ACL 395 and a megohmmeter?
The ACL 395 uses sophisticated circuitry to provide the same measurement advantages as a traditional megohmmeter — high-voltage test stimulus and wide resistance range — but in a more economical, lightweight, handheld form factor. It is designed for production floor and assembly line auditing rather than laboratory-grade precision measurement.
