25Installation3.5.1 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) ConsiderationsImportant Note: To minimize hazards and ESD risks, maintenanceprocedures not requiring power to the analyzer should beperformed with power removed.Delicate internal electronic components can be damaged by staticelectricity, resulting in degraded instrument performance oreventual failure.The manufacturer recommends taking the following steps toprevent ESD damage to the instrument:• Before touching any instrument electronic components (suchas printed circuit cards and the components on them)discharge static electricity. This can be accomplished bytouching an earth-grounded metal surface such as the chassisof an instrument or pipe or a metal conduit.• To reduce static build-up, avoid excessive movement.Transport static-sensitive components in anti-static containersor packaging.• To discharge static electricity and keep it discharged, wear awrist strap connected by a wire to earth ground.• Handle all static-sensitive components in a static-safe area. Ifpossible, use anti-static floor pads and work bench pads.3.5.2 Enclosure breakoutsThere are four main enclosure openings to insert tubing and cables(Figure 15).Figure 15 Enclosure breakouts1 Sample feed or refer toTable 1, page 23 fortubing options.2 Refer to Table 1,page 23 for tubingoptions.3 Refer to Table 1,page 23 for tubingoptions.4 Power and data cables
