3.6 Handling electrostatic discharge sensitive
devices
Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are individual components, integrated circuits,
modules, or devices that may be damaged by either electrostatic fields or
electrostatic discharges.
NOTICE
Danger of property damage due to electrical fields or electrostatic
discharge!
Electrical fields or electrostatic discharge can cause malfunctions due to
damaged individual components, integrated circuits, modules, or devices.
● Only pack, store, transport, and deliver electronic components, modules, or
devices in their original packaging or in other suitable materials, e.g.,
conductive foam rubber of aluminum foil.
● Only touch components, modules, and devices when you are grounded by
one of the following methods: By an ESD wrist strap or ESD footwear or ESD
grounding straps in ESD areas with a conductive floor.
● Only place electronic components, modules, or devices on conductive
surfaces (table with ESD surface, conductive ESD foam, ESD packaging or
ESD transport container).
3.7 Disclaimer of liability
The contents of this document have been checked for consistency with the
hardware and software described. Since variance cannot be precluded entirely, we
cannot guarantee full consistency. The information given in this document is
reviewed at regular intervals and any corrections that might be necessary are
made in the subsequent editions.
NOTICE
In the event of operation in a fire or in
emergency mode, the equipment and
device protection functions are disabled.
As a result, damage may occur to the device and the equipment.
● Only activate fire or emergency mode if the continuous operation of the drive
(fan) is absolutely necessary, e.g., in order to ensure that smoke and heat are
extracted in the event of the building being evacuated.
