APPENDIX F
RCP902 WSR98D PANEL
F.1 OVERVIEW
This appendix describes the functionality and architecture of the interface
between the RCP902 WSR98D panel and RVP900 system (IFDR). It
briefly summarizes the system, placing special emphasis on functionality,
including identification of key hardware and software components, as they
relate to the interface. If more than one external system is part of the
interface being defined, then include additional sections at this level for
each additional external system.
F.2 Safety Considerations
F.2.1 ESD Protection
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage to
electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately protected against ESD
for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the product by
delivering electronic discharges when touching, removing, or inserting any
objects inside the equipment housing.
To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages yourself:
- Avoid touching exposed connectors unnecessarily.
- Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and
protected ESD workbench.
- When an ESD workbench is not available, ground yourself to the
equipment chassis with a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord.
