10.1.1 Prevention of electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Danger!
Damage through ESD possible
The device contains electronic components which may be sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD). The contact with electrostatically-charged persons or objects compromises these compo-
nents. In the worst case, they are immediately destroyed or will fail subsequent to the start-up.
Observe the requirements stipulated in EN 61340-5-1 to minimise or prevent the possibility of
damage through sudden electrostatic discharge. Please also make sure not to touch the electronic
components while supply voltage is applied.
Basics
In order not to cause damage through incorrect handling during the intervention in electronic devices,
the protective measures regarding the prevention of electrostatic charges need to be observed in com-
pliance with the DIN EN 61340-5-1, IEC 63140-5, and DIN EN 100 015 standards.
Through this, the development of electrostatic discharges and the related damage to the device can
be prevented.
Measures
As soon as the housing of the METPOINT
ing protective measures must be undertaken und the corresponding protective media must be used.
• Use an ESD mat with an earth connection
• Use a wrist strap
• Discharge tools prior to using them by rubbing them over the ESD mat.
