4-4 ProMaster 2500 User Manual
Antistatic
Precautions
The devices that you will be handling and programming on the 2500 are
sensitive to static and can be damaged by accidental and unintended
electrostatic discharge while you are handling them. To minimize
possible damage to devices, wear your wrist strap and plug the end into
the ground strap connector in the lower left corner of the 2500 (see Figure
1-2).
CAUTION: The devices being processed through the ProMaster 2500 and
components on the system’s circuit boards are static
sensitive and may be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). To help eliminate damage from ESD, operators and
service personnel should wear an antistatic wrist strap
while using the equipment. The wrist strap should be
connected to the grounding plug. It should contain a 1M ohm
(minimum value) to 10M ohm (maximum value) isolating
resistor.
Raising the Hood
While a Task is
Running
The 2500 has been designed to operate only when the hood is down in the
operating position (see Figure 1-2). A safety interlock switch is activated
when the hood is raised to stop all handler motion and laser marking. It
must be lowered into operating position before you can start a Task.
Do not lift the hood while the handler is processing devices. If you raise
the hood, the 2500 will immediately stop processing and leave the
condition of the devices being programmed in an unknown state. Devices
in the programming modules may not complete the programming
operation correctly and should be removed and discarded. If you need to
examine something under the hood while a Job/Task is running, select
Pause
from the TaskLink screen to stop the 2500, after the current
device(s) has completed the programming cycle.
If you lift the hood without pausing TaskLink and want to continue
running the Job/Task, lower the hood to continue operation.
WARNING:Any attempt to bypass the hood interlock could result in
operator injury. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
Operating Noise
Level
The typical operating noise level of the 2500 may exceed 70 dB because of
the many complex functions taking place at the same time, such as:
• Heavy subassemblies being driven rapidly by motors along sizable
lead screws.
• Air actuators being rapidly turned on and off.
• Vacuum motors making noise.
WARNING:Long term exposure to noise levels in excess of 70 dB could
cause hearing loss. Personnel working near the 2500
should wear hearing protection.
