4.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the

PM-LX2-800 may result in permanent damage to the PM-LX2-800 and

severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the PM-LX2-800. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore

critical that whenever the PM-LX2-800 or any other electrical component is handled, the

following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.

Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can

help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.

Self-grounding: Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting

material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any

conducting materials that are connected to the ground.

Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the PM-LX2-800, place it on an

antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the

PM-LX2-800.

Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB

by the edges.
