2.2. Handling of Electrostatic Sensitive Devices
ATTENTION
Observe Precautions For Handling
Electrostatic Sensitive Devices
Caution: Certain semiconductor devices used in the equipment are liable to damage due to
static voltages.
Observe the following precautions when handling these devices in their unterminated state, or sub-
units containing these devices:
•
Persons removing sub-units from any equipment using electrostatic sensitive devices must be
earthed by a wrist strap via a 1M
Ω
resistor to a suitable discharge reference point within the
equipment.
•
Soldering irons used during any repairs must be low voltage types with earthed tips and
isolated from the Mains voltage by a double insulated transformer. Care should be taken
soldering any point that may have a charge stored.
•
Outer clothing worn must be unable to generate static charges.
•
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) fitted with electrostatic sensitive devices must be stored and
transported in appropriate anti-static bags/containers.
