1.6 Precautions
This section contains some precautions which should be followed to avoid
damage or malfunction due to incorrect use, handling and transportation of
the Network Master.
1.6.1 ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
Modules and options for the Network Master contain electronic devices that are
sensitive to ESD (Electro Static Discharge). Therefore, all ESD sensitive items
are delivered from Anritsu in antistatic shielding packages.
Electrostatic discharge during installation can result in destruction or
degradation of these devices. The damage may lead to equipment failure
later. When you install or remove modules, it is your responsibility to control
ESD. To control ESD, take the issues described below into consideration.
CAUTION
Avoid build-up of electrostatic charge
Keep your workplace clear of any item that can generate electrostatic
charges, e.g. all items that are not made of antistatic materials.
Minimize the exposure to ESD
Keep ESD sensitive items in antistatic shielding packaging as long as
possible.
Do not remove ESD sensitive items from equipment or the antistatic
shielding packaging unless you are connected to the equipment with a
grounding wrist strap (as described later).
Return ESD sensitive items to antistatic shielding packaging.
Keep equipment, the ESD sensitive items and yourself at the same
static potential
If your workplace is already prepared for handling ESD sensitive items,
then follow your usual procedure. If not, you should follow the procedure
below using a ground wrist strap.
1. Attach the wrist end of the wrist strap firmly around your wrist and the
other end to the equipment chassis or ground plug.
2. Keep the wrist strap on while you install or remove ESD sensitive items.
Do not remove the wrist strap until the ESD sensitive parts are either
installed or returned to the antistatic shielding package.
1.6.2 Optical Surfaces
The optical interfaces - transmitter as well as receiver - are very sensitive to
contamination. Be aware that contamination of the optical surfaces may
result in severe loss of signal.
CAUTION
To prevent contamination of the optical surfaces, mount
protective caps to seal the transmitter/receiver connectors when
no fiber optic cables are connected.
Correct functioning of the instrument can only be ensured if optical
modules, supplied by Anritsu for the Network Master, are used.
