4 AXON AX 100 mkII Update (English)

Installation guide

1. Gather the tools required for the installation. These should include a high-quality, insu-

lated screwdriver, and if possible an EPROM gripper. With care and experience, you

can also do the job with two small precision screwdrivers. Nevertheless, we urgently

recommend investing in the proper special tool—it may save you a lot of trouble by re-

ducing the risk of damage to the EPROM.

2. You should also perform the work on an antistatic mat and wear an antistatic wrist

strap. EPROMs are highly sensitive components which are extremely vulnerable to

electrostatic charges. Flying sparks may be exciting in interpersonal relationships, but

they can mean instant death for sophisticated electronic devices and their compo-

nents. Be sure to use extreme caution for this reason.

- Always wear an antistatic wrist strap coupled to the antistatic mat by a pushbutton,

or to a suitable unpainted, grounded metal object such as a radiator or the chassis

of the device.

- If you do not have such a strap at your disposal, always touch a grounded metal

object with both hands to eliminate possible electrostatic charges before touching

electronic components. Substantial charges may build up when wearing shoes

with crepe or plastic soles or clothing made of synthetic materials, or when the

humidity is low (in the winter, for example).

- Leave the components in their protective packaging until you actually need them.

After unpacking them, place them either on the antistatic mat, or on their protective

packaging.

- Antistatic mats and wrist straps are only effective if they are grounded.

3. Ready? If you haven't already done so, disconnect the AXON from the AC power by

unplugging the power cord from the back of the housing. Place the device on the anti-

static mat or another clean, grounded surface.

4. Open the housing by removing the 10 screws of the cover with a screwdriver. Place

them someplace where they a) will be easy to find, and b) cannot fall into the open
