22 M8000 Series of BER Test Solutions Tips for Preventing Damage
1 Tips for Preventing Damage
• Ground the box appropriately while discharging a cable. Use the “GND”
connector of the box (as shown in the figure) to the ground connector
of the AXIe chassis.For grounding, either use the accessories provided
with the discharger like the grounding cable or an ESD mat which is
connected to the ground connector of the AXIe chassis.
• Discharge your cables using the matching connector e.g. 2.40 mm
(also for 1.85 mm), 3.50 mm (also for 2.92 mm) and Mini-Coax. You
may stick the cable discharger box to your instrument/AXIe chassis e.g.
using the fastener tape provided.
• Plastic fixtures can store charges and probing powered devices can
subject inputs to damaging voltage and power levels. A poor AC power
supply into a product or DUT can create AC transients, insufficient
grounding, or floating neutral lines which damages the current to flow
into or out of the instrument.For more information about electrostatic
discharge, contact the Electrostatic Discharge Association
