Charge (ESD) Precautions
NOTE: Discharge body's static electricity before touching
unit. An electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electrical
components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation
and servicing to protect the integrated control module from
damage. By putting the furnace, the control, and the person
at the same electrostatic potential, these steps will help
avoid exposing the integrated control module to electrostatic
discharge. This procedure is applicable to both installed and
uninstalled (ungrounded) furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the
integrated control module or any wire connected to the
control prior to discharging your body's electrostatic
charge to ground.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnace near the control. Any tools held in a person's
hand during grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring
following the discharge process in Step 2. Use caution
not to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do
not move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded
objects, etc.). If you come in contact with an ungrounded
object, repeat Step 2 before touching control or wires.
4. Discharge any static electricity from your body to ground
before removing a new control from its container. Follow
Steps 1 through 3 if installing the control on a furnace.
Return any old or new controls to their containers before
