5.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the CZGL
AT-16 may result in permanent damage to the CZGL AT-16 and severe
injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the CZGL AT-16. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the CZGL AT-16, or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
ƒ
Wear an anti-static wristband : - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
ƒ
Self-grounding :- Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
ƒ
Use an anti-static pad : When configuring the CZGL AT-16, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the CZGL
AT-16.
ƒ
Only handle the edges of the PCB :-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
