2.4 Safety information
WARNING
The power supply must always be switched off whenever work is carried out in
the control cabinet.
WARNING
Even though the power is switched off at the robot controller, there may be
energized cables connected to external equipment that are consequently not
affected by the mains switch on the controller.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
ESD (electrostatic discharge) is the transfer of electrical static charge between
two bodies at different potentials, either through direct contact or through an
induced electrical field. When handling parts or their containers, personnel not
grounded may potentially transfer high static charges. This discharge may destroy
sensitive electronics.
Note Action
Wrist straps must be tested frequently to ensure
that they are not damaged and are operating
correctly. Use a wrist strap 1
The mat must be grounded through a current-
limiting resistor. Use an ESD protective floor mat. 2
The mat should provide a controlled discharge
of static voltages and must be grounded. Use a dissipative table mat. 3
