ESD Warning
To avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage to sensitive components, make sure
you are properly grounded before touching any internal materials.
When working with any equipment manufactured with electronic devices, proper
ESD grounding procedures must be followed to ensure people, products, and tools are
as free of static charges as possible. Grounding straps, conductive smocks, and
conductive work mats are specifically designed for this purpose.
Anyone performing field maintenance on AutoPatch equipment should use an
appropriate ESD field service kit complete with at least a dissipative work mat with a
ground cord and a UL listed adjustable wrist strap with another ground cord. These
items should not be manufactured locally, since they are generally composed of
highly resistive conductive materials to safely drain static charges, without increasing
an electrocution risk in the event of an accident. ESD protective equipment can be
obtained from 3M
