ESD Protective Measures for Prepress Systems and
Operators
Basics
Devices from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG are resistant to electrostatic
discharges (within the limits of EN 55024:2001).
In order to protect devices and users from being unnecessarily exposed to such
discharges, we have listed a few tips below that will help reduce the frequency
and intensity of the discharges.
Formation
In a prepress environment, this physical phenomenon occurs most frequently
as a result of triboelectricity. In such cases, electrostatic charges are generated
when bodies that have close contact are separated.
Notice
During the test no imaging jobs may be processed! In other
words, no plates must be in the device and no jobs are wait-
ing for processing. You must stop processing beforehand.
This displays the interval until the next regular safety loop
test.
