Electrostatic Discharge Awareness
Electrostatic Precautions
Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts.
Observe the following precautions to prevent damage to
these parts:
Discharge body static before handling the control
(with power to the control turned off, contact a
grounded surface and maintain contact while
handling the control).
Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam (except
antistatic versions) around printed circuit boards.
Do not touch the components or conductors on a
printed circuit board with your hands or with
conductive devices.
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by
improper handling, read and observe the precautions in
Woodward manual
82715
, Guide for Handling and
Protection of Electronic Controls, Printed Circuit Boards,
and Modules.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.
1.
Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing
made of synthetic materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much as
possible because these do not store static electric charges as much as
synthetics.
2.
Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet
unless absolutely necessary. If you must remove the PCB from the control
cabinet, follow these precautions:
Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the
components with conductive devices or with your hands.
When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic
protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install it. Immediately after
removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the antistatic protective
bag.
Special Conditions for Safe Use
Wiring must be in accordance with North American Class I, Division 1 or 2, or
European Zone 1, Category 2 or Zone 2, Category 3 wiring methods as
applicable, and in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction.
Field wiring must be suitable for at least 85 °C and 10 °C above the maximum
fluid and ambient temperatures.
