Safety
The Series HMT360 Transmitter delivered to you has been tested for
safety and approved as shipped from the factory. Note the following
precautions:
ESD Protection
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage to
electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately protected against
ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the
product by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching,
removing, or inserting any objects inside the equipment housing.
To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages yourself:
- Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and
protected ESD workbench.
- When an ESD workbench is not available, ground yourself to the
equipment chassis with a wrist strap and a resistive connection
cord.
- If you are unable to take either of the above precautions, touch a
conductive part of the equipment chassis with your other hand
before touching ESD sensitive components.
- Always hold component boards by the edges and avoid touching
the component contacts.
WARNING Ground the product, and verify outdoor installation grounding
periodically to minimize shock hazard.
CAUTION Do not modify the unit. Improper modification can damage the
product or lead to malfunction.
