Earthing Chair-Small Mat Kit

Step 1: Check Your Outlets Are Earthed with our Socket Tester: (OPTIONAL - NOT NECESSARY)

In order to use your Earthing products through an electrical outlet, you must connect it to the “earth port” of an earthed 3 prong outlet. Before plugging in your Earthing product, check that the outlet is earthed by plugging in the Socket Tester. Three orange lights illuminated is GOOD and means that you have a proper earth and you are ready to connect your Earthing product. Any other light combination means your outlet is NOT properly earthed. Try testing another outlet. If it still doesn’t work, then you will need to use a grounding rod in the optional step 2 below. 

If using existing or old powerboards it is important to check that they are earthed correctly.

Please Note: In Australia, it is compulsory by law to have all electrical power outlets Earthed, however, if in doubt for any reason it is easy to check with our socket tester which is inclusive in all our Starter Packs, otherwise you can purchase individually – please click here to order.

Step 2: (Optional) Using The Ground Rod When Outlets Aren't Earthed:

a. First Push the Ground Rod directly into the earth around 20cm to 25cm, close to the foundation of the building and where vegetation is growing or the area is damp.

b. Run the cord from the Ground Rod, under or around a window or door, near where you will be using your product.

c. Make sure to cover the cord to prevent tripping.

d. Plug the prong end of your cord into the receptacle end of the Ground Rod cord. If you live in a dry area, such as a desert, soak the earth around the Ground Rod from time to time for maximum conductivity.

Step 3: Setting Up Your Chair/Mouse Mat:

a. Decide where you want to use the mat. Your options include almost any place where you work, sit, relax, rest, or sleep.  

b. Snap one end of the Coil Cord onto the connection tab of the Earthing® Chair Mat. 

c. Place the Chair Mat on the seat of your chair, couch or desk. The BLACK side will face up (this is the side you sit on). The blue side will face down.

d. Push the other end of the Coil Cord firmly into the Adapter Plug.

e. Plug the Australian Adapter Plug into an earthed wall outlet. (No need to turn the power on).  It is Ok to plug into a powerboard.

f. You must make bare skin contact with the connected mat or be wearing light clothes, in order to receive the Earth’s energy.

Step 4: How To Test For Conductivity With The Product Continuity Tester:

The purpose of the tester is to verify that your Earthing Mat is conductive

a. Firstly verify that the Product Tester itself is operational by pressing button that says “press” and release—the small light on front will flash green one time then goes off. Indicates tester is good. If no green light battery (Lithium CR2032) may be flat or unit faulty.

b. Snap Coil Cord included onto Product Tester’s metal press stud, if not already assembled.

c. Insert your grey Earthing Adapter Plug into the power outlet you intend to use with your product.

d. Insert prong end of Product Tester Cord into one receptacle of the adapter plug or if using a Ground Rod, attach a splitter to end of ground rod cord and insert into one of the receptacles.

e. Plug Earthing cord from the mat into the other receptacle. You should now have both the Earthing Mat and Tester connected to the plug that is in a power outlet.

f. Place product tester flat on the mat. The round metal plate must be in contact with the surface of the mat. Press firmly on the mat to obtain a good contact and press down on the "Press" button. A green light means that the mat is in working order. In the unlikely case that no green light comes on, the mat may be defective or has lost conductivity and should be replaced – you should also check your connecting cords to make sure they are conductive as well (see below).

Sometimes, people have difficulty testing their products. If the light doesn’t come on, place one hand on the product while holding the tester in the other hand and with one finger on the silver button on the back of tester. A green light would show that the body is grounded when touching the product. Make sure that both the tester and the product are plugged into the earth, as described above. You can also put some moisture on your fingertips to create better contact.

g. Disconnect product tester from the adapter plug or ground rod. However, it is fine to leave plugged in to test when needed later on

h. You don’t have to test your products often. Perhaps after cleaning. The more you use the tester, the sooner the batteries in the tester will expire, replace the battery (Lithium CR2032) by unscrewing the back panel.

Test Your Product Cords For Conductivity:

1. Replace the coil cord already on the product tester with the cord to be tested.
2. Touch the metal pin of the testing cord to the back of the metal disk on the tester
3. Hold down and press the “Press” button for at least 3 seconds.
4. A green light indicates that the cord is in good working order.

Step 5: How To Wash and Care For Your Earthing Mat

To clean the mat, simply wipe down the mat using a non-corrosive cleaner or warm water on a regular basis. Do not use chlorine bleach or liquid fabric softener, or any detergent containing bleach or chemicals that can ruin the conductivity of the mat. Air-dry the mat only,

• The thin black top conductive layer is the layer that your body makes contact with. It is made of PU (Polyurethane) leather. Leather look-alike items made with polyurethane (PU) are very consumer-friendly and safe, unlike older PVC leathers. Our PU Leather is vinyl-free and platelet free. 
• Size:  Approximately 30cm x 30cm
• The bottom non-conductive layer is made of TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) closed-cell foam. This is among the safest foam used. It is latex and PVC free. This is the same foam used in footwear, and even in children’s foam toys.
• Earthing has sourced eco-friendly and non-toxic materials to provide our customers with a safe and premium quality grounding product. 
• The mat is conductive on the Black Side Only
• Comes with an Earthing connection cord and Earthing Adapter plug.
• Kit Includes: 1 x  Mat, 1 x Connection Cord, 1 x Plug
