Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD)

CAUTION
The electronic boards contain electrostatic sensitive devices. These components can be easily
destroyed if not handled correctly. Observe the following notes if you nevertheless have to work
with electronic modules:
• You should only touch electronic modules if absolutely necessary.
• If you do have to touch modules, your body must be electrically discharged first.
• Modules must not be brought into contact with highly insulating materials, e.g. plastic foils,
insulated tabletops, or clothing made from synthetic fibers.
• Modules may be set down only on conducting work surfaces.
• Modules and components should only be stored and transported in conductive packaging (such
as metalized plastic boxes or metal containers).
• If the packaging material is not conductive, the modules must be wrapped with a conductive
packaging material, such as conductive foam rubber or household aluminum foil, prior to placing
them in the packaging.
The necessary ESD protective measures are illustrated once again in the following diagram:
