MAINTENANCE
This section of the manual contains information for conducting preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and corrective
maintenance on the instruments.
STATIC-SENSITIVE COMPONENTS
The following precautions are applicable when perform-
ing any maintenance involving internal access to the
instrument.
Table 6-1
Susceptibility to Static Discharge Damage
Static discharge can damage any semiconductor
component in this instrument.
This instrument contains electrical components that are
susceptible to damage from static discharge. Table 6-1
lists the relative susceptibility of various classes of sem-
iconductors. Static voltages of 1 kV to 30 kV are common
in unprotected environments.
When performing maintenance, observe the following
precautions to avoid component damage:
1.
Minimize handling of static-sensitive com-
ponents.
Transport and store static-sensitive components
or assemblies in their original containers or on a
metal
rail.
Label any package that contains
static-sensitive components or assemblies.
Discharge the static voltage from your body by
wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap while
handling these components. Servicing static-
sensitive components or assemblies should be
performed only at a static-free work station 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.
