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

vendors.
