If instructed by this manual to remove the PCB from the control cabinet,
follow these precautions:
• Ensure that the device is completely voltage-free (all connectors have
to be disconnected).
• Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
• Do not touch the electrical conductors, connectors, or components with
conductive devices or with bare hands.
• When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic
protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install it. Immediately
after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the
antistatic protective bag.
For additional information on how to prevent damage to electronic components caused
by improper handling, read and observe the precautions in:
