B&K 1794 instruction manual

CAUTION

Static discharge can damage any semiconductor

component in this instrument.

This instrument contains electrical components that are susceptible to damage from static discharge. Static voltages of 1KV to 30KV are common in unprotected environments.

Observe the following precautions to avoid damage :

1.Minimize handling of static-sensitive components.

2.Transport and store static-sensitive components or assemblies in their original containers, on a metal rail, or on conductive foam. Label any packages that contains static-sensitive assemblies or components.

3.Discharge the static voltages from your body by wearing a wrist strap while han- dling these components. Servicing static-sensitive assemblies or components should be performed only at a static-free workstation by qualified service personnel.

4.Nothing capable of generating or holding a static charge should be allowed on the work station surface.

5.Keep the component leads shorted together whenever possible.

6.Pick up components by the body, never by the leads.

7.Do not slide the components over any surface.

8.Avoid handling components in areas that have a floor or work-surface covering capable of generating a static charge.

9.Use a soldering iron that is connected to earth ground.

10.Use only special anti-static suction-type or wick-type desoldering tools.
