Electrostatic S ensitivity
Observe electrostatic precautionary procedures. (ESD = ElectroStatic Discharge)
The
OptiCaT
1500 amplifier provides highly reliable performance when operated in
conformity with its intended design. However, it may be damaged by an electrostatic
charge inadvertently imposed by careless handling.
Static electricity can be conducted to the amplifier through the rear panel connectors.
When unpacking and otherwise handling the amplifier, follow ESD precautionary
procedures including use of grounded wrist straps, grounded workbench surfaces,
and grounded floor mats.
Exposure to electrostatic charge is greatly reduced after the amplifier chassis is
grounded.
