Troubleshooting
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Information
Handling of Electronic Components and ESD
The possibility of unseen damage caused by ESD is present whenever
components are transported, stored, or used. The risk of ESD damage can be
greatly reduced by close attention to how all components are handled.
— Perform work on all components at a static–safe workstation.
— Keep static–generating materials at least one meter away from all
components.
— Store or transport components is static–shielding containers.
Many of the assemblies in this instrument are very susceptible to damage from
ESD. Perform troubleshooting procedures only at a static–safe workstation, and
wear a grounding strap.
Always handle a printed circuit board assembly by its edges. This reduces the
possibility of ESD damage to components, and prevent contamination of exposed
plating.
