2.4 Safety information

Application manual - BullsEye
3HAC050989-001 Revision: C
WARNING
The power supply must always be switched off whenever work is carried out in
the control cabinet.
WARNING
Even though the power is switched off at the robot controller, there may be
energized cables connected to external equipment that are consequently not
affected by the mains switch on the controller.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
ESD (electrostatic discharge) is the transfer of electrical static charge between
two bodies at different potentials, either through direct contact or through an
induced electrical field. When handling parts or their containers, personnel not
grounded may potentially transfer high static charges. This discharge may destroy
sensitive electronics.
Action
1 Use a wrist strap
2 Use an ESD protective floor mat.
3 Use a dissipative table mat.
WARNING
Before beginning work with the robot, make sure you are familiar with the safety
regulations described in the manual Operating manual - General safety
information.

2.4 Safety information
Note
Wrist straps must be tested frequently to ensure
that they are not damaged and are operating
correctly.
The mat must be grounded through a current-
limiting resistor.
The mat should provide a controlled discharge
of static voltages and must be grounded.
