Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage internal semiconductor components.
Follow the guidelines listed below to avoid product damage.
When performing service that requires internal access to an instrument, adhere to
the following precautions to avoid damaging internal modules or their compo-
nents:
Avoid handling modules or components in areas that have floors or work
surfaces capable of generating a static charge.
Spray carpeted work areas with a solution of equal parts of water and fabric
softener.
Wear clothing made from materials that do not accumulate static charges.
Avoid Wool (and some artificial fibers) which build up static charges readily;
wear cotton which conducts electricity and resists static accumulation.
Minimize the handling of static-sensitive devices.
Transport and store static-sensitive devices in their protected containers or on
a metal rail. Label any package that contains static-sensitive parts.
Service instruments and modules at grounded, static-free work stations.
Do not allow devices capable of generating a static charge on a work station
surface.
Wear a grounding strap while working with static-sensitive devices.
Handle circuit boards by their edges, if possible.
Do not slide static-sensitive components over any surface.
Do not use high-velocity compressed air to clean or dry components or
modules.
