Notes for Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) may lead to the destruction of the controller when
- connecting the sensor cable to the open controller,
- handling the sensor.
The working practices listed below reduce and avoid any electrostatic discharge:
- Wear a grounding bracelet that is conductive connected to an earthing point.
- The table surface should be conductive and connected to the earthing point.
- Wear appropriate shoes, ESD working clothes on the upper part of the body and the arms in order to
avoid any static charging.
Further literature for the prevention of electrostatic phenomenon:
- EN 61340-5-1 Protection of electronic components against electrostatic phenomenon - General require-
ments
- EN 61340-5-2 Protection of electronic components against electrostatic phenomenon - User manual
- VDE publications 71 Electrostatics, reasons, effects, protective measures
