2. Installation
2.1. Unpacking and Inspection
The ProDAQ module is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent any damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Proper ESD handling procedures must always be used when packing, unpacking
or installing any ProDAQ module, ProDAQ plug-in module or ProDAQ function card:
Ground yourself via a grounding strap or similar, e.g. by holding to a grounded object.
Discharge the package by touching it to a grounded object, e.g. a metal part of your VXIbus
chassis, before removing the module from the package.
Remove the ProDAQ module from its carton, preserving the factory packaging as much as
possible.
Inspect the ProDAQ module for any defect or damage. Immediately notify the carrier if any
damage is apparent.
2.2. Reshipment Instructions
Use the original packing material when returning a ProDAQ module to Bustec Production Ltd. for
calibration or servicing. The original shipping carton and the instrument's plastic foam will provide
the necessary support for safe reshipment.
If the original anti-static packing material is unavailable, wrap the ProDAQ module in anti-static
plastic sheeting and use plastic spray foam to surround and protect the instrument. Reship in either
the original or new shipping carton.
