3. Open the casing of the analyzer and begin work. Up to this point, the closed metal
casing of your analyzer has isolated the components and assemblies inside from any
conducted or induced static charges.
4. If you must remove a component from the instrument, do not lay it down on a non-
ESD preventative surface where static charges may lie in wait.
5. Only disconnect your wrist strap after you have finished work and closed the case of
the analyzer.
14.5.2. Working at an Anti-ESD Work Bench
When working on an instrument of an electronic assembly while it is resting on an anti-
ESD work bench:
1. Plug your anti-ESD wrist strap into the grounded receptacle of the work station before
touching any items on the work station and while standing at least a foot or so away.
This will allow any charges you are carrying to bleed away through the ground
connection of the workstation and prevent discharges due to field effects and
induction from occurring.
2. Pause for a second or two to allow any static charges to bleed away.
3. Only after you have plugged your wrist strap into the workstation and allowed static
charges to bleed away, open any anti-ESD storage bins or bags containing sensitive
devices or assemblies, as follows:
 Lay the bag or bin on the workbench surface.
 Before opening the container, wait several seconds for any static charges on
the outside surface of the container to be bled away by the workstation’s
grounded protective mat.
4. Do not pick up tools that may be carrying static charges while also touching or
holding an ESD Sensitive Device.
 Only lay tools or ESD-sensitive devices and assemblies on the conductive
surface of your workstation. Never lay them down on any non-ESD
preventative surface.
5. Before unplugging your wrist strap, place any static sensitive devices or assemblies
in anti-static storage bags or bins and close the bag or bin.
6. Disconnecting your wrist strap is always the last action taken before leaving the
workbench.
14.5.3. Transferring Components Between Rack and Bench
When transferring a sensitive device from an installed Teledyne Analytical Instruments
analyzer to an Anti-ESD workbench or back:
1. Follow the instructions listed above for working at the instrument rack and
workstation.
2. Never carry the component or assembly without placing it in an anti-ESD bag or bin.
3. Before using the bag or container allow any surface charges on it to dissipate:
 If you are at the instrument rack, hold the bag in one hand while your wrist
strap is connected to a ground point.
