Recommended ESD Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when handling Grass Valley equipment:
Only trained personnel that are connected to a grounding system should handle ESDS items.
Do not open any protective bag, box, or special shipping packaging until you have been grounded.
NOTE: When a Personal Grounding strap is unavailable, as an absolute minimum, touch a
metal object that is touching the oor (for example, a table, frame, or rack) to discharge any
static energy before touching an ESDS item.
Open the anti-static packaging by slitting any existing adhesive tapes. Do not tear the tapes off.
Remove the ESDS item by holding it by its edges or by a metal panel.
Do not touch the components of an ESDS item unless it is absolutely necessary to congure or
repair the item.
Keep the ESDS work area clear of all nonessential items such as coffee cups, pens, wrappers
and personal items as these items can discharge static. If you need to set an ESDS item down,
place it on an anti-static mat or on the anti-static packaging.
Sources of ESD and Risks
The following information identies possible sources of electrostatic discharge and can be used to
help establish an ESD policy.
Personnel
One of the largest sources of static is personnel. The static can be released from a persons clothing
and shoes.
Environment
The environment includes the humidity and oors in a work area. The humidity level must be
controlled and should not be allowed to uctuate over a broad range. Relative humidity (RH) is a
major part in determining the level of static that is being generated. For example, at 10% - 20% RH
a person walking across a carpeted oor can develop 35kV; yet when the relative humidity is
increased to 70% - 80%, the person can only generate 1.5kV.
Static is generated as personnel move (or as equipment is moved) across a oors surface. Carpeted
and waxed vinyl oors contribute to static build up.
Work Surfaces
Painted or vinyl-covered tables, chairs, conveyor belts, racks, carts, anodized surfaces, plexiglass
covers, and shelving are all static generators.
Equipment
Any equipment commonly found in an ESD work area, such as solder guns, heat guns, blowers,
etc., should be grounded.
Materials
Plastic work holders, foam, plastic tote boxes, pens, packaging containers and other items commonly
found at workstations can generate static electricity.
