In thunderstorms, a strong electromagnetic field will be generated in the air. Therefore the equipment should be
well earthed in time to avoid damage by lightning strikes.
IV. ESD
Note
The static electricity generated by the human body will damage the static sensitive elements on PCBs, such as large-scale
ICs. Before touching any plug-in board, PCB or IC chip, ESD wrist strap must be worn to prevent body static from
damaging the sensitive components. The other end of the ESD wrist strap must be well earthed.
V. Short circuit
Danger
Danger
During operation, never short the positive and negative poles of the DC distribution unit of the power supply system or the
non-grounding pole and the earth. The power supply system is a constant-voltage DC power device, and short circuit will
result in equipment burning and endanger human safety.
Check the polarity of the cable and connection terminal when performing DC live operations.
As the operation space in the DC distribution unit is very tight, please carefully select the operation space.
Never wear a watch, bracelet, bangle, ring, or other conductive objects during operation.
Use insulated tools.
In live operation, keep the arm muscle tense, so that when tool connection is loosened, the free movement of
the human body and tool is reduced to a minimum.
Battery
Danger
Danger
Before any operation on battery, read carefully the safety precautions for battery transportation and the correct battery
connection method.
Non-standard operation on the battery will cause danger. In operation, precautions should be taken to prevent
battery short circuit and overflow of electrolyte. The overflow of electrolyte will erode the metal objects and PCBs,
thus causing equipment damage and short circuit of PCBs.
Before any operation on battery, pay attention to the following points:
1. Remove the watch, bracelet, bangle, ring, and other metal objects on the wrist.
2. Use specialized insulated tools.
3. Use eye protection device, and take preventive measures.
4. Wear rubber gloves and apron to guard against electrolyte overflow.
5. In battery transportation, the electrode of the battery should always be kept facing upward. Never put the
battery upside down or slanted.
