for table-top equipment. In addition, this product is also applicable to other ESD tests and other types of
EMC test.
To ensure the safe and correct procedure of electrostatic discharge tests, thoroughly read this
Instruction Manual together with the instruction manual for the discharge gun being used. It is
recommended that the contents of the Manual be thoroughly understood and used as a ready
reference for operation.
This instruction manual was prepared so that any person who can
observe the prescribed test method and operating precautions
may safely handle and fully utilize this ESD Test Environment
(Model ESS-801).
This instruction manual describes the basic construction,
specification, and assembling way of this product as well as the
configuration of the related equipment for ESD immunity test.

② Insert the retaining blocks to the rails at each corner of the backside of the top board.
Each block shall be firmly inserted to the half-depth with the projection outwards.
③Put the top board on the legs assembled in step ①(The rails are to be positioned within the
legs).
④Following the step ③, manually insert the retaining blocks to the angle holes of the legs, to
their dept.
Important：
：：
：Be sure to proceed with all four corners. Work in the correct manner,
otherwise, the top board will slip, leading to danger with the personnel.

9. Operating Precautions
To ensure safety, the following advices shall be observed.
1. Install the test table on a flat floor surface. After installation, check to see that the 4
legs are in touch with the floor. If the floor is tilted or bumpy, the table may jounce,
which may lead to a drop of the object put on the table.
2. The top board of the test table must be fixed to the legs with the blocks. However,
when relocating the product, check that the top board has been firmly fixed. If the top
board has not been firmly fixed, it may come off from the legs, resulting in a danger.
3. The test table is capable of withstanding up to 100 kg. Never exceed this load limit.
Avoid concentrating loads to the edges of the table.
Never apply strong shock or power in the horizontal direction. If you step or sit on the
test table, you may suffer an injury.
4. For the test table, periodic checks are recommended for the wedges and retaining
blocks that there is no irregularity.
5. To ensure the safe and correct procedure of EMC tests, the contents of this manual
should be thoroughly understood and used as a ready reference for operation. It is
also recommended to read this instruction manual together with the instruction
manuals for the associated products.
