ESD Warning
To avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage to sensitive components, make sure you are
properly grounded before touching any internal materials.
When working with any equipment manufactured with electronic devices, proper ESD
grounding procedures must be followed to make sure people, products, and tools are as free of
static charges as possible. Grounding straps, conductive smocks, and conductive work mats
are specifically designed for this purpose.
Anyone performing field maintenance on AMX equipment should use an appropriate ESD field
service kit complete with at least a dissipative work mat with a ground cord and a UL listed
adjustable wrist strap with another ground cord. These items should not be manufactured
locally, since they are generally composed of highly resistive conductive materials to safely
drain static charges, without increasing an electrocution risk in the event of an accident. ESD
protective equipment can be obtained from 3M™, Desco
