1 Safety Rules and Precautions
Injury from Equipment

Possible death or serious physical harm to personnel and damage to equipment
may result from mishandling.
While performing any maintenance tasks or procedures, you must follow any
local safety requirements, those mentioned in General Safety Instructions for
Field Operations, and this chapter.
3BK 21219 AAAA PCZZA Ed.03 7 / 26

1.1 Safety Rules for Equipment Under Power

For maintenance purposes, field operators may have to work on equipment
under power (-48 VDC or -60 VDC). This means that it is possible to touch
some parts under power, that are only protected by heavy fuses. Maintenance
activities must be carried out carefully to avoid short circuits and to prevent
serious personal injury.
Remove all conductive objects from the hands, such as rings, bracelets,
metallic wrist watches and so on. Use appropriate insulated tools for
maintenance activities.
1.2 Electrostatic Precautions

The following electrostatic precautions must be observed:
Environment
Tools
Transportation and storage

Components and PBAs.
1.2.1 Environment
Environment:
Ensure that work benches, stools, and floor mats have a conducting surface
connected to ground. Before handling static-sensitive components and
assemblies, ground yourself to the conducting surface using an anti-static
wrist strap
When handling static-sensitive components and assemblies, do not wear
or use clothes made of wool, nylon or any other synthetic material. Such
fabrics are major sources of static build-up
When handling static-sensitive components and assemblies, do not use

gloves and finger covers, unless they are made of cotton.
1.2.2 Tools
Tools:
Ensure that all the tools which come into contact with static-sensitive
components are at the same voltage level as the conducting work surfaces
and floor mats.
These tools include soldering irons, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and
metal parts of tools and fixtures that are used to hold, assemble or test PBAs.
Do not use rough cleaners or erasers to clean the gold-plated contacts
on PBAs.
Do not mark a PBA with a lead pencil or any other writing instrument.
Do not use synthetic brushes to clean equipment, and do not use dry
cleaning methods.
8 / 26 3BK 21219 AAAA PCZZA Ed.03

1.2.3 Transportation and Storage

Transportation and Storage:
Pack all containers used to transport and store static-sensitive components,

and use aluminium container tubes if possible. If not, insert the component
terminations into electrically conductive foam
Before shipping a PBA, wrap it in a conducting synthetic bag or in aluminium

foil. Also pack the PBA in a polyethylene transport box
Before shipping a PBA which has MOS components, ensure that an

appropriate warning symbol is displayed on the package
Store spare PBAs in their appropriate polyethylene boxes. Keep the boxes
closed except when access to their contents is required
Do not store PBAs in an area where the air is polluted with smoke, dust,
dangerous gases or other airborne particles that may cause damage
Do not stack PBAs side-by-side or on top of each other with the board
surfaces or components in contact with one another
Before cleaning a PBA, remove or disconnect the damage protection, such

as protective foam, to allow the PBA to be cleaned thoroughly. Replace the
damage protection upon completion of the task.
1.2.4 Components and PBAs

Components and PBAs:
Components and PBAs not in protective containers must only be handled by

trained personnel in static-controlled work areas
Before removing a PBA from an equipment rack, discharge any static by

touching the metal frame of the rack with your hand
Always handle a PBA by the edges
Do not handle or carry a PBA by any of the mounted components
Do not handle a PBA by the gold-plated contact terminals and do not apply
direct pressure to the components
Do not touch PBA connection pins or conductor paths
Do not touch PBAs with wet hands

Place PBAs that have been removed during maintenance with the soldered
side down on a conductive surface
Do not scratch or rub the soldered side of a PBA with a sharp or rough object
Do not repair PBAs in the switch room

Do not handle components and assemblies by their leads
Do not use excessive force when inserting connection boards.
