Electrostatic Discharge Awareness
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
All electronic equipment is static-sensitive, some components more than others. To protect these components
from static damage, you must take special precautions to minimize or eliminate electrostatic discharges.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.
1.
Before doing maintenance on the electronic control, discharge the static electricity on your body to ground
by touching and holding a grounded metal object (pipes, cabinets, equipment, etc.).
2.
Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing made of synthetic materials.
Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much as possible because these do not store static electric
charges as much as synthetics.
3.
Keep plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam materials (such as plastic or Styrofoam cups, cup holders, cigarette
packages, cellophane wrappers, vinyl books or folders, plastic bottles, and plastic ash trays) away from the
control, the modules, and the work area as much as possible.
4.
Opening the Control unit will void the warranty!
Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet unless absolutely necessary. If you
must remove the PCB from the control cabinet, follow these precautions:
•
Make sure that the unit is completely de-energized (all connectors have to be pulled off).
•
Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
•
Do not touch the electrical conductors, connectors, or components with conductive devices or with
bare hands.
•
When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic protective bag it comes in until you
are ready to install it. Immediately after removing the old PCB from the control unit, place it in the an-
tistatic protective bag.
WARNING
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper handling, read and observe the pre-
cautions in Woodward manual 82715,
Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls, Printed
Circuit Boards, and Modules.
Mounting and Removal
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
The enclosure provides protection against solid objects according to IP 20 classification and NEMA Type 1 rat-
ing. When mounting the enclosure observe the following rules:
•
Avoid splash water and water drops
•
Avoid aggressive gas, steam or liquids
•
Avoid dusty environments
•
Make sure there is sufficient air ventilation and clearance to other devices mounted next to the module
•
Do not exceed the specified operational temperatures.
•
Mount inside a sealed electrical switchboard or cubicle
•
Observe applicable local regulations like EN60204 / VDE0113
