Section
VS18/VS26 Fieldbus valve islands contain electronic devices, which could be damaged through
electrostatic discharge. Therefore electrostatic precautions must be taken. Specifically, the
person assembling or configuring the valve island must be connected to an earth ground.
The valve island should be mounted on an earthed base to improve the EMC behaviour.
