Service and Repair - Introduction
Cleaning
Clean the outside of the instrument with a soft, lint-free, slightly damp cloth. Do not use detergent. Disassembly is not
required or recommended for cleaning.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Almost all electrical components can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) during handling. Component damage
can occur at electrostatic discharge voltages as low as 50 V.
The following guidelines will help prevent ESD damage during service operations:
l Disassemble instruments only in a static-free work area.
l Use a conductive work area to reduce static charges.
l Use a conductive wrist strap to reduce static charge accumulation.
l Minimize handling.
l Keep replacement parts in original static-free packaging.
l Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper, and other static-generating materials from the immediate work area.
l Use only anti-static solder suckers.
Surface Mount Repair
Surface mount components should only be removed using equipment designed for surface mount components. Using
conventional soldering equipment will almost always damage to the printed circuit board and will void your warranty.
