Preventing ESD
CAUTION. Adir
ect electrostatic discharge can damage the instrument input. To learn how to avoid this damage, read
the following information.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a concern when handling any electronic equipment. The instrument is designed with
robust ESD protectio
n, however it is still possible that large discharges of static electricity directly into the signal input
may damage the instrument. To avoid damage to the instrument, use the following techniques to prevent electrostatic
discharge to the instrument.
1. Discharge the stati
c voltage from your
body by wearing a grounded antistatic
wrist strap while connecting and
disconnecting cab
les and TekConnect
adapters. The instrument provides a
front panel connection for this purpose.
2. A cable that is left unconnected on
a bench can develop a large static
charge. Disch
arge the static voltage
from all cables before connecting them
to the instrument or device under test
by momentari
ly grounding the center
conductor of the cable, or by connecting
a50Ω termination to one end, prior to
attaching th
e cable to the instrument.
