Electrical connections
ESD
ESD is dangerous for electronic devices, especially when tools or hands get in
contact with connectors and electronic components. We recommend measures to
avoid damage by ESD:
• Unpacking: Remove the camera from its anti-static packaging only when your
body is grounded.
• Workplace: Use a static-safe workplace with static-dissipative mat and air
ionization.
• Wrist strap: Wear a static-dissipative wrist strap to ground your body.
• Clothing: Wear ESD clothing. Keep components away from your body and
clothing. Even if you are wearing a wrist strap, your body is grounded but your
clothes are not.
• Bare board and open housing cameras: use a special ESD housing.
