2 Installing the N1000A
Only the table-mat and wrist-strap combination provides adequate ESD
protection when used alone. To ensure your safety, the static-safe accessories
must provide at least 1 MΩ of isolation from ground. Purchase acceptable ESD
accessories from your local supplier.
Electrical channel input circuits and the trigger input circuit can be damaged by
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Therefore, avoid applying static discharges to the
front-panel input connectors. Prior to connecting any coaxial cable to the
connectors, momentarily short the center and outer conductors of the cable
together. Avoid touching the front-panel input connectors without first
touching the frame of the instrument. Be sure that the instrument is properly
earth-grounded to prevent buildup of static charge. Wear a wrist-strap or heel-
strap.
Grounding Receptacle
If the instrument has a grounding receptacle, you can plug the wrist strap into
the grounding receptacle. For example, the DCA-X mainframe has a front-
panel grounding receptacle that is shown in the following picture.

Daily ESD Self Check
1. Visually check your work area to see that there are no static-generating
materials, insulating work surfaces, or static-generating tools.
2. Clear your work area of static charge generators for a distance of at least 1
meter from ESD sensitive items.
3. Visually check that the ground wiring to the workstation has not been dis-
connected or damaged.
4. If applicable, make certain that your work station air ionizer is activated and
correctly positioned.
5. Make sure that there are no static generators inside conductive containers
with ESD sensitive items.
