ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
Use this procedure for all installed and uninstalled furnaces. An
ESD service kit (available from commercial sources) may be used
to prevent ESD damage.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic
components. Follow the Electrostatic Discharge Precau-
tions Procedure listed below during furnace installation
and servicing to protect the furnace electronic control.
Precautions will prevent electrostatic discharges from
personnel and hand tools which are held during the
procedure. These precautions will help to avoid exposing
the control to electrostatic discharge by putting the
A93042
furnace, the control, and the person at the same electro-
static potential.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Multiple disconnects
may be required. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL OR
ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PRIOR
TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY'S CHARGE TO
GROUND.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted metal surface on the
furnace chassis close to the control. Tools held in hand
during grounding will be discharged.
3. You may proceed to service the control or connecting wires
as long as you do nothing to recharge your body (moving or
shuffling feet, touching ungrounded objects, etc.)
4. If you touch ungrounded objects, firmly touch a clean,
unpainted metal surface again before touching control or
wires.
