If you are making measurements on the internal electronic circuitry of an
equipment in service, it is preferable that you are earthed to the case with a
conductive wrist strap. Wrist straps should have a resistance to ground between
500k-10M ohms. If a wrist strap is not available, you should maintain regular
contact with the case to prevent a build-up of static. Instrumentation which may
be used for making measurements should be earthed to the case whenever
possible.
More information on safe working procedures for all electronic equipment can
be found in BS 5783 and IEC 147-OF. It is strongly recommended that detailed
investigations on electronic circuitry, or modification work, should be carried out
in a Special Handling Area such as described in the above-mentioned BS and
IEC documents.
2.3. Unpacking
Care must be taken when unpacking and installing the unit to prevent damage.
2.4. Storage
If the KITZ unit is not to be installed immediately upon receipt it should be stored
in a place free from dust and moisture in the original carton. Where de-
humidifier bags have been included in the packing they should be retained.
The action of the de-humidifier crystals will be impaired if the bag has been
exposed to ambient conditions and may be restored by gently heating the bag
for about an hour, prior to replacing it in the carton.
Dust which collects on a carton may, on subsequent unpacking, find its way into
the unit; in damp conditions the carton and packing may become impregnated
with moisture and the de-humidifier will lose its efficiency.
Storage temperature –25°C to +70°C.
