Caution-ESD Board level cameras: ESD warnings
• Only qualified personnel is allowed to install and oper-
ate the Board level cameras.
• Board level cameras are delivered without housing. Han-
dle the sensor board and main board with care. Do not
bend the boards. Do not touch the components or con-
tacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges.
• Sensor board and main board are sensitive to electro-
static discharge. To avoid possible damage, handle all
static-sensitive boards and components in a static-safe
work area. Follow the procedures below.
• ESD (electrostatic discharge): Static electricity can dam-
age the sensor board or the main board of your Board
level cameras. To prevent static damage, discharge static
electricity from your body before you touch any of your
board level cameras’s electronic components, such as
sensor board or main board. To do so, use a static-safe
work area with static-dissipative mat and wear a static-
dissipative wrist strap. Do not hold any components of
your Board level cameras against your clothing. Even if
you are wearing a wrist strap, your body is grounded but
your clothes are not.
• Do not remove the sensor board and main board from its
anti-static packaging unless your body is grounded.
• ESD shielding: To protect the boards from radiation of
other modules or devices use a special ESD protective
housing.
