Safety Summary

Warning and caution messages appear throughout this manual. They alert you to potentially safety hazards or potential damage to equipment. The messages and there meaning are shown below.

WARNING

Calls attention to improper practices that could result in a potentially serious, even lethal injury.

CAUTION

Calls attention to practices that could cause

minor injury or that could cause damage to

equipment.

Familiarize yourself with proper procedures before operating or repairing the equipment. Follow these precautions for your own safety.

Personal Safety

Treat every circuit as if it is “Live”. If in doubt, check with a neon tester or voltmeter.

Know how to turn off power in the work area and how to obtain help in an emergency.

Don’t work on equipment under power unless it’s absolutely necessary. If you must, use extreme caution.

Shock. Don’t under estimate the danger of shock. 12 mA causes hand muscles to contract, so you cannot free yourself; 24 mA has proven fatal.

Tools. Use the right tools for the job. A tool which slips can cause a short -- or a shock. When working on live circuits, use tools with insulated handles.

Safety Devices. Don’t bypass safety devices, particularly fuses. If a hot wire shorts to an ungrounded frame, the frame itself becomes hot and potentially dangerous.

Electrical Fires Use Type C, BC, or ABC extinguishers only.

Equipment Safety

Your body is a giant capacitor. It can store several thousand volts of electricity. Digital equipment is easily damaged or destroyed by this static electricity. You don’t have to see a spark to ruin an IC -- 50 volts is enough. To protect the equipment from static damage, follow these guidelines:

Ground yourself before reaching into the equipment or touching any circuit board or other electrical component. The Monarch Static Ground Kit contains everything you need.

Re-ground whenever you have walked away and returned to the equipment. Be especially careful around carpet. Carpet is a major source of static buildup in the body. Even a few steps can recharge you.

The smaller the object, the greater the precautions must be. A board in the machine is better protected than one which is not plugged in; a chip on a board is better protected than one in your hand.

Avoid touchings pins coming out of a chip or the connector edge of circuit boards. These metal parts have signal and data lines which are connected directly to fragile circuits.
