The DAS permits users to access the data through the instrument’s front panel or the remote interface. The latter can automatically download stored data for further processing. For information on using the DAS, refer to Section 7. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
If one of the surfaces is a poor conductor or even a good conductor that is not grounded, the resulting positive or negative charge cannot bleed off and becomes trapped in place, or static. The most common example of triboelectric charging happens when someone Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
A charge can be induced onto the conductive surface and/or discharge triggered in the presence of a charged field such as a large static charge clinging to the surface of a nylon jacket of someone walking up to a workbench. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Always store sensitive components and assemblies in anti-ESD storage bags or bins: Even when you are not working on them, store all devices and assemblies in a closed anti-Static bag or bin. This will prevent induced charges Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
4. If you must remove a component from the instrument, do not lay it down on a non- ESD preventative surface where static charges may lie in wait. 5. Only disconnect your wrist strap after you have finished work and closed the case of the analyzer. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
4. Place the item in the container. 5. Seal the container. If using a bag, fold the end over and fastening it with anti-ESD tape. Folding the open end over isolates the component(s) inside from the effects of static fields. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
DO NOT use standard adhesive tape as a sealer. Use ONLY anti-ESD tape. Never carry the component or assembly without placing it in an anti-ESD bag or bin. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
