1.4.4 WARNING - The unit is sensitive to ESD!DescriptionESD (electrostatic discharge) is the transfer of electrical static charge between twobodies at different potentials, either through direct contact or through an inducedelectrical field. When handling parts or their containers, personnel not groundedmay potentially transfer high static charges. This discharge may destroy sensitiveelectronics.EliminationNoteActionWrist straps must be tested frequently to ensurethat they are not damaged and are operating cor-rectly.Use a wrist strap.1The mat must be grounded through a current-limit-ing resistor.Use an ESD protective floor mat.2The mat should provide a controlled discharge ofstatic voltages and must be grounded.Use a dissipative table mat.3Location of wrist strap buttonThe location of the wrist strap button is shown in the following illustration.IRC5Axx1300000856Wrist strap buttonAContinues on next page50 Product manual - IRB 1203HAC035728-001 Revision: N© Copyright 2009-2017 ABB.
