2 INSTALLATION

This chapter describes the installation and start-up of the VBT - 325. Please
read this chapter carefully before you unpack and install the analyzer.

Static electricity - Precautions

Important ->

Before unpacking the VBT-325 from its shipping container, make
sure that this takes place in an environment with controlled static

electricity. The following recommendations should be followed:

• M a k e sure your body is discharged to the static

voltage level on the floor, table and system chassis
by wearing a conductive wrist-chain connected to
a common reference point.

• I f a conductive wrist-chain is not available, touch

the surface where the board is to be put (like table,
chassis etc.) before unpacking the board.

• L e a v e the board only on surfaces with controlled

static characteristics, i.e. specially designed anti-
static table covers.

• I f handing the board over to another person, touch

this persons hand, wrist etc. to discharge any static
potential.

Never put the board on top of the conductive plastic bag in which the board is
shipped. The external surface of this bag is highly conductive and may
cause rapid static discharge causing damage. (The internal surface of the
bag is isolating.)

_ A safe place to leave the board is on the pink coating found inside the

shipping container (and of course,

inside

the plastic bag.)
