3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AVL-3000 may result in permanent damage to the AVL-3000 and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AVL-3000. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the AVL-3000 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 AVL-3000, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the AVL-3000.
Only handle the edges of the PCB : - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Installation Precautions
When installing the AVL-3000, please follow the precautions listed below:
Power turned off : When installing the AVL-3000, make sure the power is off.
Failing to turn off the power may cause severe injury to the body and/or
damage to the system.
Certified Engineers : Only certified engineers should install and modify
onboard functionalities.
Anti-static Discharge : If a user open the bottom panel of the AVL-3000, to
configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves
first and wear and anti-static wristband.
