Service personnel Repair and/or bench testing of the GSI TympStar Version 1 and Version 2
instruments should be performed only by trained personnel. The following
instructions are provided primarily for use by persons who are skilled in the
repair of electronic equipment.
Electrical safety
CAUTION
The GSI TympStar Version 1 and Version 2 instruments are
IEC 601-1/CSA approved; consequently, if any parts are re-
placed during the repair of these units, only exact replace-
ments should be made. Any alterations of the present elec-
trical or mechanical construction or components will void
these safety approvals.
CMOS handling
Many of the integrated circuits on the PC Boards are constructed of CMOS
and NMOS materials
.
Please observe the following precautions:
CAUTION
Failure to observe the following precautions whenever a cir-
cuit board or an integrated circuit package is handled can
result in damage to the GSI TympStar Version 1 or
Version 2 instrument. Please observe these precautions:
1)
Place the instrument and parts on a grounded, conductive work
surface.
2) Ground yourself (with a strap having about 1 Meg-Ohm resistance)
to discharge or prevent static charges.
3) Ground the frame of any test instrument or soldering iron to be used.
4)
If any circuit boards are to be stored or transported, enclose them in
conductive (antistatic) envelopes.
