N9320A Spectrum Analyzer 19
Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages or destroys electronic
components (the possibility of unseen damage caused by
ESD is present whenever transported, stored, or while the
instrument is in use).
This product contains components that are easily damaged
by electrostatic discharge. To help reduce the possibility of
ESD damage that can occur while using test equipment,
follow these guidelines:
1 Before connecting any coaxial cable to the spectrum analyzer
connector for the first time each day, momentarily short the
center and outer conductors of the cable together to
eliminate any potential electrostatic charges that may exist.
2 Personnel should be grounded with an approved type, 1 MW
resistor- isolated ESD wrist- strap before touching the center
pin of any connector, and before removing any assembly
from the spectrum analyzer.
3 Be sure that all instruments are properly earth grounded to
prevent build- up of static charges.
For more information about ESD and how to prevent ESD
damage, contact the Electrostatic Discharge Association
(http://www.esda.org). The ESD standards developed by this
agency are sanctioned by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
