Reducing Damage Caused by ESD
The following suggestions may help reduce ESD damage that occurs during
testing and servicing operations.
• Before connecting any coaxial cable to an analyzer connector for the first time
each day, momentarily ground the center and outer conductors of the cable.
• Personnel should be grounded with a resistor-isolated wrist strap before touch-
ing the center pin of any connector and before removing any assembly from the
unit.
• Be sure that all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent a buildup
of static charge.
