ESD Protection
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage
to electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately protected
against ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage
the product by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching,
removing or inserting any objects inside the equipment housing.
To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages:
• Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and
protected ESD workbench.
• When this is not possible, ground yourself to the equipment chassis
before touching the boards, or ground yourself with a wrist strap
and a resistive connection cord.
• When neither of the above is possible, touch a conductive part of
the equipment chassis with your other hand before touching the
boards.
• Always hold the boards by the edges and avoid touching the
component contacts.
Recycling
Recycle all applicable material. Dispose of batteries and the unit
according to statutory regulations. Do not dispose with regular
household refuse.
