1-13 ESD Cautions
The VNA Master, like other high performance instruments, is susceptible to ESD damage.
Coaxial cables and antennas can easily build up a static charge, which (if allowed to discharge
by connecting directly to the VNA Master without first discharging the static charge) may
damage the instrument input circuitry. Operators must be aware of the potential for ESD
damage and must take all necessary precautions.
Operators should exercise practices outlined within industry standards such as JEDEC-625
(EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and MIL-STD-1686, which pertain to ESD and ESDS devices,
equipment, and practices. Because these standards apply to the VNA Master, Anritsu
Company recommends that any static charges that may be present be dissipated before
connecting coaxial cables or antennas to the VNA Master. This may be as simple as
temporarily attaching a short or load device to the cable or antenna prior to attaching to the
VNA Master. Remember that the operator may also carry a static charge that can cause
damage. Following the practices outlined in these standards helps to ensure that a safe
environment exists for both personnel and equipment.
Warning
VNA Masters are supplied with a rechargeable battery that could potentially leak
hazardous compounds into the environment. These hazardous compounds
present a risk of injury or loss due to exposure. Anritsu Company recommends
removing the battery for long-term storage of the instrument and storing the
battery in a leak-proof, plastic container. Follow the environmental storage
requirements specified in the product data sheet.
