component in this instrument.
This instrument contains electrical components that
are susceptible to damage from static discharge. See
Table 5-1 for relative susceptibility of various classes of
semiconductors. Static voltages of 1
kV to 30 kV are
common in unprotected environments.
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage:
1. Minimize handling of static-sensitive components.
2.
Transport and store static-sensitive components or
assemblies in their original containers, on a metal rail, or
on conductive foam. Label any package that contains
static-sensitive assemblies or components.
