Handling instructions

Please ensure electric static discharge protection during handling. The driver should only be removed from
its original packaging immediately before mounting.  When mounting the driver it has to be ensured that
the  work  is  done  in  an  ESD-protected  workplace.  Persons  working  with  the  driver  have  to  wear  ESD
wristbands, overalls and shoes. If tools are used for mounting, those must comply with ESD standards.

When handling the driver, do not pick up the driver at the transformers. The driver MUST be handled at the
PCB sides.
