Electrostatic Discharge Protection

Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Most causes of instrument failure can be avoided if you will apply the
information in this section. PLEASE READ!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components.
Use a static-safe work station to perform all work on electronic assemblies.
Figure 1-1 on page 1-12
ESD protection: conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination, and
conductive floor-mat and heel-strap combination. Both types, when used
together, provide a significant level of ESD protection. Of the two, only the
table-mat and wrist-strap combination provides adequate ESD protection
when used alone. To ensure user safety, the static-safe accessories must
provide at least 1 meg-ohm of isolation from ground.
Do NOT use these techniques for a static-safe work station when
working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500 volts.
