9.4.2.3. Transferring Components from Rack to Bench and Back
When transferring a sensitive device from an installed TAI 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.
 If you are at an anti-ESD workbench, lay the container down on the
conductive work surface.
 In either case wait several seconds.
4. Place the item in the container.
5. Seal the container. If using a bag, fold the end over and fastening it with anti-ESD
tape.
 Folding the open end over isolates the component(s) inside from the effects
of static fields.
 Leaving the bag open or simply stapling it shut without folding it closed
prevents the bag from forming a complete protective envelope around the
device.
6. Once you have arrived at your destination, allow any surface charges that may have
built up on the bag or bin during travel to dissipate:
 Connect your wrist strap to ground.
 If you are at the instrument rack, hold the bag in one hand while your wrist
strap is connected to a ground point.
 If you are at a anti-ESD work bench, lay the container down on the
conductive work surface
 In either case wait several seconds
7. Open the container.
