2.4 ESD Protective Measures
Only personnel with knowledge of ESD protective measures may modify or extend the system
or replace a module.
NOTE
Electrostatic discharge can damage the electronic components within the HIMatrix
systems!
 When performing the work, make sure that the workspace is free of static, and wear
an ESD wrist strap.
 If not used, ensure that the modules are protected from electrostatic discharge, e.g.,
by storing them in their packaging.
2.5 Residual Risk
No imminent risk results from a HIMatrix compact system itself.
Residual risk may result from:
 Faults related to engineering
 Faults related to the user program
 Faults related to the wiring
2.6 Safety Precautions
Observe all local safety requirements and use the protective equipment required on site.
