ESD (electro static discharge) protective measures
CAUTION
 Danger for electronic components due to electrostatic discharge.
 Improper handling of printed circuit boards or components can cause damages that
lead to complete failures or sporadic errors.
 During installation and repair of the device, the ESD protective measures must be
considered.
Please consider the following guidelines before the installation or maintenance of the device:
 Always carry an ESD antistatic wristband when dealing with electronic components.
Connect one part of the wristband with a discharge socket or an unvarnished
grounded metal component. This way, static charges are discharged from your body
securely and effectively.
 Only touch the printed circuit boards at the edges. Do not touch the printed circuit
board itself or the connector.
 Place all dismantled components on an anti-static surface or in an anti-static
container.
 Avoid contact between printed circuit boards and your clothing. The wristband only
protects the printed circuit boards against electrostatic discharge from the body, but
there is still a risk of damage through electrostatic discharge from your clothing.
 Transport and dispatch dismantled modules only in electrostatically shielded
protective bags.
