Static Free Work Area Warnings

Use Static-Dissipative Mat

Always perform repair or maintenance on a static-dissipative mat connected to earth ground.

Wear Wrist Strap

Always wear a conductive wrist strap connected to the mat and to ground except when working on energized equipment or when discharging high voltage circuits. The strap must be snug enough to make good contact against bare skin.

WARNING

SHOCK HAZARD. Remove the wrist strap when working on energized equipment or when discharging high voltage circuits.

Transport and Store PCBs Properly

Transport and store PCBs in anti-static racks or inside conductive bags. Label the package containing the PCBs as static-sensitive.

Keep Work Area Static Free

Keep static-generating products such as Styrofoam cups or trays away from the work area. Connect all electrical equipment such as soldering irons and test equipment to ground through a three-prong plug.

Test Work Area Routinely

Test all the anti-static parts of the work area (mat, straps, cables) routinely. Keep a log of the test results.

Disassembly Procedures
