Instructions For Handling Assemblies Susceptible To Electrostatic Shock - Siemens SCD 1597 Operating Instructions Manual

1.2.1. Instructions for Handling Assemblies Susceptible to
Electrostatic Shock
Most of the assemblies within the SCD 1597-R/RT/R8S LCD-monitor contain components
which can be destroyed by electrostatic voltages. It is also possible for the assemblies to be
damaged in such a way that total failure does not occur.
If you (as an authorised service technician) are handling such assemblies then the following
precautions should be observed:
• When such assemblies are being handled, a means of electrostatic discharge must be
available. This can be, for example, an earthed object, which can be touched to discharge
electrostatic voltages.
• This applies to all tools used (insulated). They must also be discharged at an earthed
object.
• When assemblies are removed or added to the system, the unit must always be switched
off and the power supply cable unplugged.
• Vulnerable assemblies should always be held by their edge. Avoid touching tracks and
contact pins.
