ATTENTION
Static Sensitive
Devices
This instrument was constructed
in
an ESD (electro-static dis-
charge) protected environment. This
is
because most of the semi-
conductor devices used
in
this instrument are susceptible to damage
by static discharge.
Depending on the magnitude of the charge, device substrates can
be punctured
or
destroyed by contact
or
mere proximity of a static
charge. The results can cawe degradation of device performance,
early failure,
or
immediate destruction.
These charges are generated
in
numerous ways such
as
simple con-
tact, separation
of
materials, and normal motions of persons
working with static sensitive devices.
When handling
or
servicing equipment containing static sensitive
devices, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent device dam-
age
or
destruction.
Only those who are thoroughly familiar with industry accepted
techniques for handling static sensitive devices should attempt to
service circuitry with these devices.
In all instances, measures
must
be taken to prevent static charge
build-up
on
work surfaces and persons handling the devices.
For further information
on
ESD precautions, refer to “SPECIAL
HANDLING CONSIDERATIONS FOR STATIC SENSITIVE
DEVICES” in Section VIII Service Section.
