Installation manual

Simrad ES60

• Fill in all the necessary information on the applicable

documentation and place it inside the bag.

• Seal the bag.

• Place the circuit board in a suitable carton, and secure it for

shipping.

Note

Failure to follow these rules may result in unserviceable circuit

boards.

Temperature protection

If the unit must be protected against extremes of temperature,

the carton/crate must be lined on all walls, base and lid with 5

cm thick polyurethane or polystyrene foam. These units will be

identiﬁed as delicate in the applicable documentation.

The package must then be clearly marked:

Must not be transported or stored in temperatures below -5

degrees Celsius.

Other units can normally be stored in temperatures between -30°

C and +70° C, refer to the system’s technical speciﬁcations for

details.

Transducers must not be stored in temperatures below -20° C

and above +60° C.

What is ESD?

Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) is the transfer of an electrostatic

charge between two bodies at different electrostatic levels,

caused either by direct contact or induction by an electrostatic

ﬁeld. The passing of a charge through an electronic device can

cause localised overheating, and it can also “puncture” insulating

layers within the structure of the device. This may deposit a

conductive residue of the vaporised metal on the device, and thus

create a short circuit. This may result in a catastrophic failure, or

degraded performance of the device.

ESD protection

Sensitive electronic circuit boards must be transported and

stored in protective packing bags. T he circuit boards must

not be transported or stored close to strong electrostatic,

electro-magnetic or radioactive ﬁelds. If it is necessary to open

and touch the circuit board inside the protective bag, then the

following precautions must be taken:
