M8190A Maintenance
Introduction
This chapter explains how to install and maintain the M8190A. It covers the following
topics:
ESD Protection
Power & Ventilation Requirements
Thermal Protection
Battery
Operating Environment
Cleaning Recommendation
4.1
ESD Protection
All the connectors are very sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). When you
connect a device or cable that is not fully discharged to these connectors, you risk
damage to the instrument and expensive instrument repairs.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the circuits of the M8190A. Avoid applying
static discharges to the front-panel connectors. Before connecting any coaxial cable to
the connectors, momentarily short the center and outer conductors of the cable
together. Avoid touching the front-panel connectors without first touching the frame of
the instrument. Be sure the instrument and all connected devices (DUT, etc.) are
properly earth-grounded (to a common ground) to prevent buildup of static charge and
electrical over-stress.
