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 DXLink 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

, Richmond Technology

, Plastic Systems

, and other such vendors.
