Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
ATTENTION
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can
cause internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these
guidelines when you handle this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when
not in use.
WARNING
When you connect or disconnect the removable terminal block (RTB)
with field-side power applied, an electrical arc can occur. This could
cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that
power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
WARNING
If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side power is on,
an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous
location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is
nonhazardous before proceeding
