ESD Safety and Protection
Many parts contained in the Test Set are sensitive to ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) damage.
ESD can damage integrated circuits or semiconductors located within the Test Set. Only qualified
personnel should service the Test Set to prevent damage. The following are guidelines to avoid
ESD damage while still performing tests and or maintenance. These guidelines are meant only as
a reminder, consult local directives and follow standard operating procedures before servicing, or
repairing the Test Set.
• Wear a properly grounded wrist strap and remain in contact with an approved grounding
point.
• Do not touch the connector pins or backplanes of ESD Sensitive circuits or parts.
• Ensure soldering irons are grounded before use.
• Do not remove any components or disconnect any connectors located in the Test Set with
the power “ON”.
• Properly ground all test equipment being utilized. Refer to the test equipment operating
manual for information.
• Place all removed components or parts in or on an approved conductive package.
Most ESD devices or circuits and common points are readily identified utilizing several different
methods. Below are some examples.
