NOTICE
Electrostatic discharge
Electronic components can be destroyed in the event of improper handling, transport, storage,
and shipping.
Pack the electronic components in appropriate ESD packaging; e.g. ESD foam, ESD
packaging bags and ESD transport containers.
To protect your equipment against damage, follow the instructions given below.
● Avoid physical contact with electronic components. If it is essential that you perform work on
● Do not place electronic components close to data terminals, monitors or televisions.
● Electronic components should not be brought into contact with electrically insulating

surfaces, ESD packaging.
– The measuring device is grounded with a protective conductor, for example.
– The measuring head of a floating measuring device has been discharged directly before
the measurement.
The necessary ESD protective measures for the entire working range for electrostatically
sensitive devices are illustrated once again in the following drawings.
Precise instructions for ESD protective measures are specified in the standard
DIN EN 61340‑5‑1.
