B.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the AFOLUX
AFL-xxA-N270 series may result in permanent damage to the AFOLUX
AFL-xxA-N270 series and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFOLUX AFL-xxA-N270 series. Dry climates are especially susceptible to
ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the AFOLUX AFL-xxA-N270 series is opened
and any of the electrical components are handled, the following anti-static precautions are
strictly adhered to.
ƒ Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.
ƒ Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any
grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.
ƒ Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical
component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.
ƒ Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.
