Safety notes
3.1 Current information about operational safety
ESD guidelines
ESD components are destroyed by voltage and energy far below the limits of human perception.
Voltages of this kind occur as soon as a device or an assembly is touched by a person who is not
electrostatically discharged. ESD components which have been subject to such voltage are
usually not recognized immediately as being defective, because the malfunction does not occur
until after a longer period of operation.
NOTICE
Damage to the function module from electrostatic charging!
The function module contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. These
modules will be destroyed or damaged by improper handling.
• You must discharge your body electrostatically immediately before touching an electronic
• Always hold the component by the plastic enclosure.
• Electronic modules should not be brought into contact with electrically insulating materials
• Always place electrostatic sensitive devices on conductive bases.
• Always store and transport electronic modules or components in ESD-safe conductive
