2.4 ESD prevention measures
NOTICE
Risk for electronic components due to electrostatic discharge.
Incorrect handling of electronic PCBs or components can result in damage which will cause a
complete breakdown or sporadic errors.
•
General ESD prevention measures must be observed when installing or repairing the
product.
•
Wear an anti-static wrist strap when handling electronic components. Connect the end of
the strap to a discharge box or a non-painted, earthed metal component. This way, static
discharges are channelled away from your body safely and effectively.
•
Handle a PCB along its edges only. Do not touch the PCB or connectors.
•
Place dismantled components on an anti-static surface or in an anti-static shielded con-
tainer.
•
Avoid contact between PCBs and clothing. The wrist strap protects PCBs against an elec-
trostatic discharge voltage from the body only. However, damage can also be caused by
an electrostatic discharge voltage from clothing.
•
Transport and ship dismantled modules in conductive anti-static bags only.
