OMEGA Model CYD201/CYD208 User’s Manual

1.3.1Identifying ESDS Components

Below are some industry symbols used to label components as ESDS:

1.3.2Handling ESDS Components

Observe all precautions necessary to prevent damage to ESDS components before installation. Bring the device and everything that contacts it to ground potential by providing a conductive surface and discharge paths. At a minimum, observe these precautions:

1.De-energize or disconnect all power and signal sources and loads used with unit.

2.Place unit on a grounded conductive work surface.

3.Ground technician through a conductive wrist strap (or other device) using 1 M￿series resistor to protect operator.

4.Ground any tools, such as soldering equipment, that will contact unit. Contact with operator's hands provides a sufficient ground for tools that are otherwise electrically isolated.

5.Place ESDS devices and assemblies removed from a unit on a conductive work surface or in a conductive container. An operator inserting or removing a device or assembly from a container must maintain contact with a conductive portion of the container. Use only plastic bags approved for storage of ESD material.

6.Do not handle ESDS devices unnecessarily or remove from the packages until actually used or tested.

1.4SAFETY SUMMARY

Observe these general safety precautions during all phases of instrument operation, service, and repair. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended instrument use. OMEGA assumes no liability for Customer failure to comply with these requirements.

Ground The Instrument

To minimize shock hazard, connect instrument chassis and cabinet to an electrical ground. The instrument comes with a 3-conductor AC power cable. Plug it into an approved three-contact electrical outlet or use a three- contact adapter with the green ground wire firmly secured to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. The power cable jack and mating plug meet Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards.
