Preventing ESD
CAUTION. Adir
ect electrostatic discharge can damage the instrument input. To learn how to avoid this damage, read
the following information.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a concern when handling any electronic equipment. The instrument is designed with
robust ESD protectio
n, however it is still possible that large d ischarges of static electricity directly into the signal input
may damage the instrument. To avoid damage to the instrument, use the following techniques to prevent electrostatic
discharge to the instrument.
1. Discharge the stati
c voltage from your
body by wearing a grounded antistatic
wrist strap while connecting and
disconnecting cab
les and TekConnect
adapters. The instrument provides a
front panel connection for this purpose.
2. A cable that is l
eft unconnected on
a bench can develop a large static
charge. Discharge the static voltage
from all cable
s before connecting them
to the instrument or device under test
by momentarily grounding the center
conductor of
the cable, or by connecting
a50Ω termination to one end, before
attaching the cable to the instrument.
