Product Related Safety Precautions
The Vaisala Ultrasonic Wind Sensor WS425 F/G 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 this is not possible, ground
yourself with a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord to the
equipment chassis before touching the boards. When neither of the
above is possible, at least touch a conductive part of the equipment
chassis with your other hand before touching the boards.
- Always hold the boards by the edges and avoid touching the
component contacts.
Recycling
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.
Recycle all applicable material.
