1 Safety1.3.3. WARNING - The unit is sensitive to ESD!373HAC023297-001 Revision: A1.3.3. WARNING - The unit is sensitive to ESD!DescriptionESD (electro static discharge) is the transfer of electrical static charge between two bodies atdifferent potentials, either through direct contact or through an induced electrical field. Whenhandling parts or their containers, personnel not connected to ground potential may transferhigh static charges. This discharge may destroy sensitive electronics.EliminationStep Action Note/Illustration1. Use a wrist strap Wrist straps must be tested frequently toensure that they are not damaged and areoperating correctly.2. Use an ESD protective floor mat. The mat must be grounded through a current-limiting resistor.3. Use a dissipative table mat. The mat should provide a controlled dischargeof static voltages and must be grounded.
