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. It is possible to damage the product,

however, 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.

Recycling

Recycle all applicable material.

Dispose of the unit according to statutory regulations. Do not dispose of

with regular household refuse.
