Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
If, for any reason, you have to disassemble your instrument or touch any internal
components, take all the necessary precautions against electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Electrostatic discharges could damage or even blow electronic components in your
system. Electrostatic damage to components can take the form of upset failures or
system failures. In addition, failure to take appropriate precautions could void your
warranty.
The basic rules of ESD control are as follows:
1. Only manipulate ESD-sensitive components in protected work areas. Always
ground yourself when handling ESD-sensitive components or assemblies. Always
use the proper maintenance and work procedures for the type of material.
2. Always use a conductive or shielding container when storing or transporting
ESD-sensitive components or assemblies (for example, printed circuit boards).
The materials used must create a Faraday cage, which will isolate the contents
from electrostatic charges.
3. Only open ESD-safe containers at a static-safe workstation. Such a workstation
shall include the equipment needed to perform these three critical functions:
grounding, isolation, and neutralization.
At the static-safe workstation, follow the instructions below before beginning any
work:
Put on your wrist strap or foot grounding devices.
Test your grounding devices to ensure that they are functioning properly.
Check that all grounding cords are properly connected to the ground to ensure
the effective dissipation of electrostatic charges.
If you have an ion generator, turn it on. This will help dissipate static charges
from any nonconducting materials.
Make sure that your work surface is clean and clear of unnecessary materials,
particularly common plastics.
When handling electronic devices, hold the components by their plastic edges.
Avoid touching the metal leads.
When passing loaded boards or components between individuals, both
individuals must be grounded to the same ground point.
Do not allow components to come into contact with your clothing, hair, or other
nonconducting materials.
