Repairing Circuit Modules
Model 1200 circuit modules are not designed to be repaired in the field.
Faulty modules should be replaced.
Multi-layer and surface-mount printed circuit manufacturing techniques
have been used in the manufacture of many of these circuit modules.
Specialized equipment and training are required to properly repair these
modules.
Static Charges
Many of the integrated circuits used in this equipment may be damaged by
static discharge. Damage caused by static discharge may not show up
immediately. Instead, it may result in reduced life span of the component
which may result in earlier than expected failure of the module.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to circuitry caused by electro-static discharge, use approved
anti-static techniques (i.e. wrist straps and anti-static mat) whenever handling
circuit modules.
