Instructions For Handling Assemblies Susceptible To Electrostatic Shock - Siemens SCD 1297-K Operating Instruction

1.3 Instructions for handling assemblies susceptible to electrostatic
shock
Most of the assemblies within the SCD 1297-K LCD-monitor contain components which can
be destroyed by electrostatic voltages. It is also possible for the assemblies to be damaged in
such a way that total failure does not occur.
If you (as an authorized service technician) are handling such assemblies then the following
precautions should be observed:
• When such assemblies are being handled, a means of electrostatic discharge must
be available. This can be, for example, a grounded object, which can be touched to
discharge electrostatic voltages.
• This applies to all insulated used tools. They must also be discharged at grounded
object.
• When assemblies are removed or added to the system, the unit must always be
switched off and the power supply cable disconnected.
• Vulnerable assemblies should always be held by their edge. Avoid touching tracks
and contact pins.
