Installing the N1000A 2
N1000A Quick Start Guide 21
Only the table-mat and wrist-strap combination provides adequate ESD protection
when used alone. To ensure your safety, the static-safe accessories must provide
at least 1 M
Ω of isolation from ground. Purchase acceptable ESD accessories from
your local supplier.
Daily ESD Self Check
1 Visually check your work area to see that there are no static-generating
materials, insulating work surfaces, or static-generating tools.
2 Clear your work area of static charge generators for a distance of at least 1
meter from ESD sensitive items.
3 Visually check that the ground wiring to the workstation has not been
disconnected or damaged.
4 If applicable, make certain that your work station air ionizer is activated and
correctly positioned.
5 Make sure that there are no static generators inside Keysight conductive
containers with ESD sensitive items.
6 Visually check that all ESD sensitive parts, assemblies, or products are
completely inside closed conductive containers.
7 Make sure that all shielding containers have an approved static attention label
on the outside.
8 Make sure that all cleaners, solvents, coatings, and sprays used at your
workstation are types approved by your ESD Coordinator.
9 Put on wrist strap and conductive footwear, and any special garments which
are required in your job. Test and record the wrist strap and footwear resistance
to ground using the method demonstrated by your ESD Coordinator.
10 Don’t allow anyone who is not grounded closer than 1 meter to your static safe
area.
