Instructions for ESD protection

Note

Destruction of the devices by electrostatic discharge possible!

The devices contain components at risk from electrostatic discharge caused by improper handling.

  • Please ensure you are electrostatically discharged and avoid touching the contacts of the device directly.
  • Avoid contact with highly insulating materials (synthetic fibers, plastic film etc.).
  • Surroundings (working place, packaging and personnel) should by grounded probably, when handling with the devices.
  • Each assembly must be terminated at the right hand end with an EL9011 or EL9012 bus end cap, to ensure the protection class and ESD protection.
