Safety and Regulatory Information
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Static electricity is destructive to your production process and
the TS-5020. Careless handling and poor site planning can cause
system reliability problems and reduce your product yield. The
system may not be as easily damaged as the modules you will be
testing, but good anti-static planning will help ensure high
reliability.
The ESD symbol below indicates areas where ESD caution must
be exercised. This is to prevent damage to instruments and/or
test disruption.
While not an exhaustive list of anti-static precautions,
shows suggestions to consider as you plan your system area:
