Agilent Technologies 87130A manual Reducing ESD Damage, 4 Static-Safe ESD Accessories

Introducing the 87130A Attenuator/Switch Driver

Before Installing the Attenuator/Switch Driver

Reducing ESD Damage

To help reduce the amount of ESD damage that occurs during installation, testing, or servicing instruments use the following guidelines:

•Be sure that all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent buildup of static charge.

•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 instrument.

•Before connecting any coaxial cable to an instrument connector for the first time each day, momentarily ground the center and outer conductors of the cable.

•Handle all PC board assemblies and electronic components only at static-safe work stations.

•Store or transport PC board assemblies and electronic components in static-shielding containers.

•PC board assembly edge-connector contacts may be cleaned by using a lintfree cloth with a solution of 80% electronics-grade isopropyl alcohol and 20% deionized water. This procedure should be performed at a static-safe work station.
