2.5 Electrostatic-sensitive components and control components (ESD)
All electrostatic-sensitive components and control components (referred to as "ESD" below) are labelled with
the warning sign shown. Electrostatic charges arise from friction of insulating materials (e.g. floor covering,
items of clothing made of synthetic fibres etc.). Even small charges can result in damage to or destruction of
components. Such damage is not always immediately noticeable; in some cases, it does not lead to failure until
after a certain operating time.
2.5.1 ESD - guidelines for handling
Transport and store ESDs only in the protective packaging provided.
Avoid materials that may produce electrostatic discharge, for example
Plastic containers and table tops
Synthetic fibre clothing
Plastic-soled shoes
Plastic file covers
Styrofoam packaging
Computer monitors, etc.
Preferably wear the following:
Cotton work clothes
ESD shoes with conductive soles or leather soles
Use the following:
Conductive flooring
ESD workstations equipped with suitable tools (grounded soldering guns, antistatic wrist straps, etc.)
Conductive ESD bags, conductive plastic containers, IC tubes or cartons lined with conductive foam
Containers and worktops made of wood, metal or conductive plastics or paper bags

ATTENTION
Risk of destruction of the control component / controller! Electronic components
and control components (e.g. circuit boards) are sensitive to electrostatic
charges.Therefore, the guidelines for handling electrostatic-sensitive components and
control components must be strictly observed.
