Siemens ULTRAMAT 6 Series - List of Abbreviations

Fundamental measures to protect against static discharge
• Provide good grounding:
When handling electrostatic sensitive devices, provide good grounding for persons,
workstation and packaging. In this manner you avoid static discharge.
• Avoid direct touching:
Only touch electrostatic sensitive devices when this is absolutely unavoidable (e.g. during
maintenance). Hold the modules so that you touch neither pins nor printed conductors. In
this manner, the discharge energy cannot reach or damage sensitive devices.
If you have to carry out measurements on a module, discharge yourself before carrying out
any actions. To do this, touch grounded metal objects. Only use grounded measuring
instruments.
