4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL-08AH-N270-CR may result in permanent damage to the
AFL-08AH-N270-CR and severe injury to the user.
WARNING:
To avoid risk of electric shock, the AFL-08AH-N270-CR must only be
connected to a supply mains with protective earth.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL-08AH-N270-CR. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL-08AH-N270-CR is accessed internally, or any
other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly
adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband
: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
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.
Use an anti-static pad
: - When configuring the AFL-08AH-N270-CR, place it
on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL-08AH-N270-CR.
Only handle the edges of the PCB
: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
