Reducing Potential for ESD Damage

The suggestions that follow may help reduce ESD damage that occurs during instrument testing and servicing.

nBefore connecting any coaxial cable to an spectrum analyzer connector for the first time each day, momentarily ground the center and outer connectors of the cable.

H Personnel should be grounded with a resistor-isolated wrist strap before touching the center pin of any connector and before removing any assembly from the unit.

nBe sure all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent build-up of static discharge.
