2.7 Anti-static handling
CAUTION: Handling of electrostatic-sensitive semiconductor devices
Certain semiconductor devices used in the equipment are liable to damage due to static
voltage. Observe the following precautions when handling these devices in their un-
terminated state, or sub-units containing these devices:
Persons removing sub-units from equipment containing these devices must be earthed
by a wrist strap and a resistor at the labelled point provided on/ within the equipment.
' Soldering irons used during authorised repair operations must be low voltage types
with earthed tips and isolated from the mains voltage by a double insulated
transformer.
' Outer clothing worn must be unable to generate static charges.
' Printed circuit boards fitted with these devices must be stored and transported in anti-
static containers.
' Fit new devices in a special antistatic safe handling area.
' Fully isolate and mechanically disconnect all sources of AC before attaching ESD
protective wrist straps to the various points in the system.
