2 Acceptance of goods, storage, and transport
2.3.3
Protection against electrostatic discharge
(ESD = electro static discharge)
To prevent damage from ESD, electronic assemblies, or components with a high internal resistance must
be handled, packaged, and stored in an environment that protects against ESD. Measures that protect
against electrostatic discharge and electric fields are described in DIN EN 61 340-5-1 and DIN EN
61 340-5-2 "Electrostatics – Part 5-2 – Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena".
If you are returning electronic assemblies or components for repair:
•
Pack sensitive components only in an environment providing protection against ESD. Workspaces
such as this divert electrostatic charges to ground in a controlled manner and prevent static charges
due to friction.
•
Use only packaging intended specifically for ESD-sensitive assemblies/components. These must
consist of conductive plastics.
Keep in mind that the manufacturer assumes no liability for damage caused by ESD.
CAUTION!
Electrostatic charges occur in non-ESD-protected environments.
Electrostatic discharges can damage modules or components.
For transport purposes, use only the ESD packaging provided.
2.4
Disposal
Disposing of the device
DISPOSAL!
Devices and/or replaced parts should not be placed in the refuse bin at the end of their service life as
they consist of materials that can be recycled by specialist recycling plants.
Dispose of the device and the packaging material in a proper and environmentally friendly manner.
For this purpose, observe the country-specific laws and regulations for waste treatment and disposal.
Disposing of the packaging material
The entire packaging material (cardboard packaging, inserts, plastic film, and plastic bags) is fully recy-
clable.
