USER GUIDE TB-9085
Dual-Wire Static Control Smock
Installation, Operation and Maintenance
Made in the
United States of America
SCS Dual-Wire Static Control Smocks are constructed
of a lightweight dissipative material which is made from
texturized polyester and a minimum of 9% carbon nylon
monofilament. The conductive nylon fibers are woven
in a chain-link design throughout the material, providing
continuous and consistent charge dissipation. All of the
seams in the smocks are designed to maintain electrical
continuity from panel to panel and from sleeve to sleeve
in accordance with the ESD Association Garment
Standard, ESD STM2.1.
SCS Dual-Wire Static Control Smocks incorporate
a “hip-to-cuff” grounding feature which allows for
hands-free grounding with no cord attached to the
operator’s wrist. This feature allows connection of a
proprietary SCS magnetic dual-wire ground cord (sold
separately) to two snap studs on the hip. A seam of
carbon-suffused threads provides a secure and direct
electrical connection from the snap studs on the hip
to conductive elastic cuffs. The SCS Dual-Wire Static
Control Smock grounds the operator when used in
this manner. Dual-wire personnel grounding testers
or continuous monitors can be used to verify the
“hip-to-cuff” function.
The SCS Dual-Wire Static Control Smock is available in
the following sizes:

Description
The SCS Dual-Wire Static Control Smock is designed
for use with dual-wire grounding systems. One
conductive cuff is electrically bonded to the dissipative
garment and one snap stud at the hip. The second
conductive cuff uses an isolated conductive path to
bond to a second snap stud at the hip. The smock’s
dual-wire circuit loop closes when its two conductive
cuffs are bridged by the skin on the wearer’s wrists.
The SCS Dual-Wire Static Control Smock creates
a Faraday cage around the torso and arms of the
wearer and protects ESD susceptible items from the
electrostatic fields generated by the wearer’s clothing.
SCS Dual-Wire Static Control Smocks meet the
requirement for Groundable Static Control Garment
System per ANSI/ESD S20.20 required limit of < 3.5
x 10
⁷
ohms Rtg tested per ANSI/ESD STM2.1 and
ESD TR53. The path-to-ground integrity of the SCS
Dual-Wire Static Control Smock can be verified with
constant monitors or personnel grounding testers.
“While a person may be grounded using a wrist strap
or other grounding methods, that does not mean that
insulative clothing fabrics can dissipate a charge to that
person’s skin and then to ground. Personnel clothing
usually is electrically separate or isolated from the body.
Groundable Static Control Garment System, Garments
that are used to establish the primary ground path for
a person shall provide a resistance of less than 35
megohms from the person to the groundable point
of the garment.” (ESD TR20.20-2008 section 5.3.13
Garments)

Operation
Use the following instructions to pair the SCS Dual-Wire
Static Control Smock with an SCS dual-wire continuous
monitor and use it as a Groundable Static Control
Garment System.
1. Connect the MagSnap® Dual-Wire Coil Cord to the
two snap studs located nearby the left-hand hip
pocket.

MagSnap® Dual-Wire Coil Cord
Installation
1. Put on the smock, and close the garment by
fastening all of the snaps on the front. Verify that no
clothing is exposed outside of the smock.

Maintenance
Smocks must be laundered periodically for proper
operation. Launder the smocks by hand or with a
standard household washing machine using cold
or warm water and non-ionic liquid detergent. SCS
recommends using Woolite® Detergent. The smocks
should be hung dry or tumbled dry using low heat.
DO NOT USE:
• Hot water
• Dry detergent
• Bleach
• Fabric softener
• Industrial laundry machines
The carbon-suffused mono-filament nylon is sensitive to
heat and should not be exposed to laundering heat in
excess of 120°F. Under normal wearing and
recommended washing conditions, SCS smocks will
maintain their usefulness and effectiveness for a
minimum of 100 washings. Other ESD smocks have
as little as 1% suffused carbon and lose their ESD
protective qualities after a few washings.
