4.0 Handling Precautions

4.1. General.

Care should be taken when handling System 5000. Avoid dropping any of the parts
onto hard surfaces, as damage may occur to the case and internal circuitry.

4.2. ESD Precautions.

System 5000 includes components, which are susceptible to damage from Electro-
Static Discharge (ESD). Permanent damage may be caused to these components
through routine handling if precautions are not observed. To reduce the risk of damage
from ESD, the following precautions should be observed.
• Minimise the handling of PCB's, which contain static sensitive devices.
• Where handling is unavoidable, always ensure that you have taken adequate
earthing precautions. An earthed wrist strap is recommended.
• When storing or transporting a "loose" PCB, always use a container, which has
been designed and manufactured with ESD protective properties.
• Avoid placing static sensitive devices on plastic surfaces, which may increase the
risk of a static discharge.
