7: LDVR-SP Storage and Maintenance
54 —
revision 38
Humidity
To prevent damage to internal components avoid positioning the recorder where
people are likely to eat or drink, or where it is excessively damp or dry.
The following are minimum and maximum humidity values for LDVR-SP
operating and storage conditions.
Operating conditions: 20% to 80% (non condensing)
Storage conditions: 5% to 90% (non condensing)
Electrical Discharge
Electrical discharge from build-up of static can damage magnetic media and
electronic components in the LDVR-SP.
To minimize the amount of electrical discharge avoid:
• Carpets, particularly synthetic materials (If static is likely to be a problem,
place anti-static mats around the working area.)
• Areas with low humidity (Low humidity increases static discharge.)
• Other objects near the LDVR, which can hold a large static charge
• Unnecessary plastic or paper products in the area
Safety Precautions
In the interest of employee safety, heed the following precautions:
• Wear an ESD wrist strap before touching the LDVR-SP or any of its parts.
• Never open the chassis cover while the power is on.
• Always work with a partner when in the presence of electricity.
• Keep work areas clean, electrostatic free, and similar to the one in which the
LDVR-SP normally operates.
• Establish adequate space to freely work around the LDVR, its components,
and test equipment.
• Keep working surfaces static-free and have electrostatic discharge (ESD)
approved packages on hand when removing or replacing units.
• Remove all jewelry before performing any maintenance activities.
