1. General:

The very low powered electronic components are especially endangered by external influences, e. g.
electrostatic charges, magnetic fields, mechanical stresses etc.

2. Replacement of components:

Fundamentally, electrical connections to components must not be separated nor connected when they
are current-carrying: Components may only be mounted in or dismounted when the distribution voltage
for the central unit and the signal transmitteres has been disconnected.

When components are replaced, the following must be checked at any rate:

• right component type (stock number/distribution voltage)

• right connection (documentation)
• right assembly of the component (e. g. EPROMS)
• right adjustment of bridges and coding circuits (documentation)
• corresponding and valid software version

3. Operation:

If an electronic component is brought into the service room from a cooler surrounding, you must wait,
according to the difference in temperature, until the moisture has dried away.

4. Handling of electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD):

4.1 Definition:
Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are all electronic semiconductors and devices and components
consisting of semiconductors which are not protected against charging by means of suitable housings.

4.2 Basic rules for protecting against electrostatics

a) All electrostatic sensitive devices must only be treated at a working place which is protected against
electrostatics!

b) Storage and transport must only be carried out in protected packing and transportation materials!

c) Suppliers must observe these rules also, i. e. ESDs from suppliers in packings insufficiently protected
against electrostatic charging must immediately be returned to the supplier.

4.3 Marking:
For the purpose of transportation, ESDs can be packed in electrostatically conductive protective
coverings and marked as ESDs by means of clearly visible stickers e. g.:

Attention: Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD)

Parts which are packed and marked in such a way must only be opened and treated by qualified
personnel at

a working place which is protected against electrostatics.

4.4 Safety measures against electrostatic charging:

In order to protect a working place against electrostatics, you should prevent electrostatic charging at this
place, and deviate already existing charges in a quick and safe way.

This is achieved by special conductive protection mats (connected to earth) at the working place
(table/switch cupboard bottom) and by wristlets worn by the personnel (1 MOhm-safety resistance
connected to earth).
