RTX130B QAM & VSB RF Signal Generator Service Manual
Preparation
Before servicing this product, read the
General Safety Summary, Safety
Summary, and Introduction at the front of the manual, and the following ESD
information.
CAUTION .
Static discharge can damage any semiconductor component in the
RTX130B.
When performing any service that requires internal access to the RTX130B,
adhere to the following precautions to avoid damaging internal modules and their
components due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
1. Minimize handling of static-sensitive modules.
2. Transport and store static-sensitive modules in their static protected
containers or on a metal rail. Label any package that contains static-sensitive
modules.
3. Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic
wrist strap while handling these modules. Perform service of static-sensitive
modules only at a static-free work station.
4.
Do not allow anything capable of generating or holding a static charge on the
work station surface.
5. Handle circuit boards by the edges when possible.
6. Do not slide the modules over any surface.
7.
Avoid handling modules in areas that have a floor or work-surface covering
capable of generating a static charge.
