Maintenance
6-2 AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generators Service Manual
Minimize handling of static-sensitive modules.
Transport and store static-sensitive modules in their static protected containers
or on a metal rail. Label any package that contains static-sensitive modules.
Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic
wrist strap while handling these modules. Service static-sensitive modules
only at a static-free work station.
Do not allow anything capable of generating or holding a static charge on the
work station surface.
Handle circuit boards by the edges when possible.
Do not slide the modules over any surface.
Avoid handling modules in areas that have a floor or work-surface covering
that is capable of generating a static charge.
Inspection and Cleaning
This section describes how to inspect for dirt and damage, and how to clean the
exterior and interior of the arbitrary/function generator. Inspection and cleaning are
done as preventive maintenance. Preventive maintenance, when done regularly,
may prevent malfunctions and enhance reliability.
Preventive maintenance consists of visually inspecting and cleaning the
arbitrary/function generator, and using general care when operating it. Perform
preventive maintenance more often if you operate the arbitrary/function generator
in a severe environment. A good time to perform preventive maintenance is just
before adjustment of the arbitrary/function generator.
General Care
For optimum performance, follow these recommendations:
Protect the arbitrary/function generator from adverse weather conditions. The
arbitrary/function generator is not waterproof.
Do not store or leave the arbitrary/function generator whether the liquid crystal
display (LCD) will be exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity for long
periods of time.
The front and rear cases help keep dust out of the arbitrary/function generator
and must be in place during normal operation.
To avoid damage to the arbitrary/function generator, do not expose them to any
sprays, liquids, or solvents.
