1.6.2 Danger of damages
• Only connect the device to suitable load cells (see chapter 3.6 “Interface”).
• Never use pointed objects to actuate the device keys.
• Observe the ESD precautions (see "Electrostatic discharge").
Electrostatic discharge
ESD = Electro Static Discharge
General
Electrostatic discharge is not a danger to humans themselves, but to very sen-
sitive electronic components. Humans can cause dangerous voltages through
friction or contact charging.
Therefore, the following precautions should be taken..
- All materials used must be conductive and earthed at the same
potential. This is how existing electrical charges are discharged into the
ground in a targeted manner.
- Access only in ESD protective clothing, i.e. safety shoes, work smock,
etc..
Attention
ESD poses a danger to electronics. Their function can be disturbed, damaged
or completely destroyed by electrical discharges.
