Pendant Controllers – Disassembly and Assembly.

Observe these guidelines when carrying out the following procedures:

• When requesting spare parts from CATTRON-THEIMEG

™

, provide the model type of the

controller (refer to the serial tag located on the underside if the controller).

• Tag defective items with a description of the fault and return the item to CATTRON-

THEIMEG

™

for repairs.

• Tag all leads before de-soldering or removal. Use small wire tags or pieces of adhesive tape

with handwritten numbers. Reconnect all wires to the same location from which they were

removed, observing proper polarity.

• Visually inspect all disassembled items for damage. Replace damaged or defective items with

identical items.

CAUTION:

All circuit boards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Use an anti-static mat

and personal grounding strap (wrist) for all maintenance procedures involving

disassembly and assembly of PS Controllers. Failure to comply with this caution

may result in equipment damage and will void our warranty.

PS Controllers contain electrostatic sensitive devices that may be damaged (immediately or latently) by

electrostatic charges of less than 1,000 volts. Since electrostatic charges of up to 35,000 volts may be

present at the workbench, it is imperative that you take the following precautions before disassembly

and assembly of the controller.

• Ground the working surfaces of the workbench. This may be accomplished with an anti-static

kit containing a wrist strap, two ground cords, anti-static floor-mats, and anti-static tablemats.

• Remove nylon or double-knit polyester jackets, roll up long sleeves, and remove or tie back

hanging neckties.

• Eliminate static-generating material (plastics, styrofoams, synthetic materials, etc.) from the

workbench area.
