Connect Anti Static Mat To Ground

If you connect earth directly to that surface it will dissipate charge.
Connect anti static mat to ground. However you can t and shouldn t rely on that as a safe known or reliable resistance to earth. Integral 1 x 10 6 ohm 1 megaohm resistor ground cord is 15. At a static free work station a common ground point will be noted by a symbol that looks like a black and white target. If you connect earth directly to that surface it will dissipate charge.
Just make sure you do not use the alligator clip to ground the wrist strap an anti static mat. The snap is where you will connect the grounding cable. Whichever cable you use it will have a ground cable attached to it that ends in an eyelet. Align screw with post on the underside of ground cord and screw it firmly into the post.
Turn mat over and insert snap and screw into threaded post on the underside of the mat. To ground anti static mats we insert a conductive snap on the corner of the anti static mat. This eyelet is a metal ring that you can screw into the nearest electrical outlet to transfer static from the ground to the ground line in your building. Use the cord to connect all electrically static dissipative floor mats to a building ground.
Connect the end of the wire leader directly to a grounded source like the screw in an electrical receptacle to complete installation. If an anti static mat is isolated from electrical ground by insulators carpets painted floors or tables you need to connect it to an electrical outlet by using a grounding cable. The top of your mat is static dissipative.
