Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages or destroys electronic
components (the possibility of unseen damage caused by
ESD is present whenever transportation, store or use of
components).
This product contains components that are easily damaged
by electrostatic discharge. To help reduce ESD damage that
can occur while using test equipment:
1 Before connecting any coaxial cable to the spectrum analyzer
connector for the first time each day, momentarily short the
center and outer conductors of the cable together.
2 Personnel should be grounded with a 1 MW resistor- isolated
wrist- strap before touching the center pin of any connector,
and before removing any assembly from the spectrum
analyzer.
3 Be sure that all instruments are properly grounded to
prevent build- up of static charge.
For more information about ESD and how to prevent ESD
damage, contact the Electrostatic Discharge Association
(http://www.esda.org). The ESD standards developed by this
agency are sanctioned by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
