Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Almost all electrical components can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD) during handling. Component damage can occur at
electrostatic discharge voltages as low as 50 V.
The following guidelines will help prevent ESD damage when servicing
the instrument or any electronic device.
• Disassemble instruments only in a static- free work area.
• Use a conductive work area to reduce static charges.
• Use a conductive wrist strap to reduce static charge accumulation.
• Minimize handling.
• Keep replacement parts in original static- free packaging.
• Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper, and other static- generating
materials from the immediate work area.
Use only anti- static solder suckers.
