Electrostatic discharge

Protective measures
Electrostatic discharge (abbreviated: ESD – ElectroStatic Discharge)
Electrostatic discharge from people can damage electronic components
when the components are touched. Damaged components usually have
to be replaced. Repairs must be performed by qualified personnel.
Measures to protect against ESD include:
● Procedures to avoid electrostatic charging via
– air conditioning
– air humidification
– conductive floor coverings
– non-synthetic clothing
● discharging the electrostatic charges from your own body through
contact with
– a metallic unit casing
– a larger metallic object
– any other metal part grounded with the protective earth
Endangered regions are indicated on the unit by the ESD warning label:
We recommend that all persons working with this system are made aware
of the significance of the ESD warning label. A training course should also
be held to inform users about the physics of electrostatic charges.
