2.3.2 Static Discharge
The FastTrace-R system components contain electrical parts that are susceptible to damage
from static discharge. Static voltages of one to thirty kilovolts are common in unprotected
environments.
When installing or servicing the FastTrace-R equipment, it is advisable to observe the following
standard precautions for handling electronic assemblies to reduce the risk of component
damage:
• Minimise handling of electronic assemblies and components.
• Transport, temporarily arrange and store electronic components in recognised anti-static
containers.
• Discharge any static voltage from your body before handling electronic components or wear
a grounded, Safety-Standard Approved, anti-static wrist strap while handling components.
Avoid handling electronic components in areas which have a floor or work-surface capable of
generating a static charge.
2.3.3 Grounding Requirements
The product safety standard that FastTrace-R is assessed to (IEC 60950-1) defines metallic
video and/or audio cables connected between separate buildings, or between outdoor antennas
and buildings, as Cable Distribution Systems and requires that products connected to these
cables have a permanent connection to protective earth.
As the typical installations that FastTrace-R is used in has video and / or audio cables connected
between separate buildings, it is required to have this permanent connection to protective earth.
FastTrace-R has a permanent earth connection point fitted to the lower right hand side of the rear
panel.
