Maintenance
This chapter provides information and procedures for removing and replacing
components in the TLA7012 Portable Mainframe and the TLA7016 Benchtop
Mainframe.
WARNING. To avoid electric shock, always power off the instrument and
disconnect the power cord before cleaning or servicing the instrument.
Preventing ESD
When performing any service which requires internal access to the instrument,
adhere to the following precautions to avoid damaging internal circuit boards and
their components due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
CAUTION. Many components within the instrument are susceptible to static
discharge damage.
Service the instrument only in a static-free environment. Observe standard
handling precautions for static-sensitive devices.
1. Minimize handling of static-sensitive circuit boards.
2. Transport and store static-sensitive circuit boards in their static protected
containers or on a metal rail. Label any package that contains static-sensitive
boards.
3. Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic
wrist s trap while handling these circuit boards.
4. Nothing capable of generating or holding a static charge should be allowed
on the work station surface.
5. Handle circuit boards by the edges when possible.
6. Do not slide the circuit boards over any surface.
7. Avoid handling circuit boards in areas that have a floor or work-surface
covering capable of generating a static charge.
