Handling precautions and storage notices

DocID15852 Rev 3

Workbench surfaces must not be built of low-resistance metallic material that allows

rapid static discharge when a charged device touches it directly.

•

Work chairs have to be protected with an antistatic textile cover and grounded to the

floor surface with a grounding chain.

•

Antistatic mats have to be installed on storage shelf surfaces.

•

For transport and temporary storage of devices, containers have to be made of

antistatic materials dissipating static electricity.

•

Operators must wear antistatic clothing and conductive shoes (or a leg or heel strap).

•

Operators must wear a wrist strap grounded to earth through a resistor of about 1

•

If the tweezers used touch the device terminals, an antistatic type should be used and

metallic tweezers should be avoided. If a charged device touches a low-resistance tool,

a rapid discharge can occur. When vacuum tweezers are used, a conductive chucking

pad should be attached to the tip and connected to a dedicated ground used for

antistatic purposes.

2.4

Electrical shock

The device has not to be touched unless the power to the measuring instrument is off. This

is to avoid the device’s electrical shock.
