3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
IRS-100-ULT3 may result in permanent damage to the IRS-100-ULT3
and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IRS-100-ULT3. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the IRS-100-ULT3 is accessed internally, or any other electrical
component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
ƒ
Wear an anti-static wristband
: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
ƒ
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.
ƒ
Use an anti-static pad
: - When configuring the IRS-100-ULT3, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
IRS-100-ULT3.
