12.1 ESD protective measures
ESD stands for ElectroStatic Discharge.
ATTENTION
Connector pins or sockets bearing ESD warning labels
must not be touched or interconnected without ESD
protective measures.
ESD protective measures include:
• Procedures for preventing electrostatic charge
build-up (e.g. air conditioning, air moistening, con-
ductive floor coverings and non-synthetic clothing)
• Discharging the electrostatic charges of your own
body on the frame of the
UNIT, the protective ground
wire or large metallic objects
• Connecting yourself to ground using a wrist band
We therefore recommend that all persons working with
this system be instructed on the significance of this
warning label. Furthermore, they also should receive
training in the physics of electrostatic discharges which
can occur in the practice and the destruction of elec-
tronic components which may result if such components
are touched by electrostatically charged
USERS.
The content of this training is explained in Chapter 12.2.
