precautions. The wrist strap should be connected to a known good earth
ground. If that is not possible, it should be connected to a conductive (metal)
part of the assembly being worked on, but
not to electronic components,
exposed wires or traces, or pins on connectors.
Take extra precautions, such as a grounded antistatic mat, if you must work
on components or assemblies that have been removed from the MSD. This
includes the analyzer.
More information is available
More information about the functions of electronic components section is
found later in this manual. (See Chapter 8, “Electronics” on page 211.)
Most of the procedures in this chapter are illustrated with video clips.
To be effective, an antistatic wrist strap must fit snugly (not tight). A loose strap
provides little or no protection.
Antistatic precautions are not 100% effective. Handle electronic circuit boards as little
as possible and then only by the edges. Never touch the components, exposed traces,
or pins on connectors and cables.
