4. Do not pick up tools that may be carrying static charges while also touching or holding an ESD
Sensitive Device.
• Only lay tools or ESD-sensitive devices and assemblies on the conductive surface of your
workstation. Never lay them down on a non-ESD preventative surfaces.
5. Place any static sensitive devices or assemblies in anti-static storage bags or bins and close
the bag or bin before unplugging your wrist strap.
6. Disconnecting your wrist strap is always the last action taken before leaving the work bench.
12.4.2.3. Transferring Components from Rack To Bench and Back
When transferring a sensitive device from an installed Teledyne Analytical Instruments analyzer to
a Anti-ESD workbench or back:
1. Follow the instructions listed above for working at the instrument rack and work station.
2. Never carry the component or assembly without placing it in a anti-ESD bag or bin.
3. Before using the bag or container allow any surface charges on it to dissipate:
• If you are at the instrument rack hold the bag in one hand while your wrist strap is
connected to a ground point.
• If you are at a anti-ESD work bench, lay the container down on the conductive work
surface.
• In either case wait several seconds.
4. Place the item in the container.
5. Seal the container. If using a bag, fold the end over and fastening it with anti-ESD tape.
Never use standard plastic adhesive tape as a sealer.
• Folding the open end over isolates the component(s) inside from the effects of static fields.
• Leaving the bag open or simply stapling it shut without folding it closed prevents the bag
from forming a complete protective envelope around the device.
6. Once you have arrived at your destination, allow any surface charges that may have built up
on the bag or bin during travel to dissipate:
• Connect your wrist strap to ground.
• If you are at the instrument rack hold the bag in one hand while your wrist strap is
connected to a ground point.
• If you are at a anti-ESD work bench, lay the container down on the conductive work
surface
• In either case wait several seconds
7. Open the container.
