3. Open the casing of the analyzer and begin work. Up to this point, the closed
metal casing of your analyzer has isolated the components and assemblies
inside from any conducted or induced static charges.
4. If you must remove a component from the instrument, do not lay it down on a
non-ESD preventative surface where static charges may lie in wait.
5. Only disconnect your wrist strap after you have finished work and closed the
case of the analyzer.
13.4.2.2. WORKING AT AN ANTI-ESD WORK BENCH
When working on an instrument of an electronic assembly while it is resting on a
anti-ESD workbench
1. Plug you anti-ESD wrist strap into the grounded receptacle of the work
station before touching any items on the work station and while standing at
least a foot or so away. This will allow any charges you are carrying to bleed
away through the ground connection of the workstation and prevent
discharges due to field effects and induction from occurring.
2. Pause for a second or two to allow any static charges to bleed away.
3. Only open any anti-ESD storage bins or bags containing sensitive devices or
assemblies after you have plugged your wrist strap into the workstation.
Lay the bag or bin on the workbench surface.
Before opening the container, wait several seconds for any static charges on
the outside surface of the container to be bled away by the workstation’s
grounded protective mat.
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 any non-ESD
preventative surface.
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 workbench.
Transferring Components from Rack to Bench and Back
When transferring a sensitive device from an installed Teledyne API analyzer
to an Anti-ESD workbench or back:
7. Follow the instructions listed above for working at the instrument rack and
workstation.
8. Never carry the component or assembly without placing it in an anti-ESD bag
or bin.
9. 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.
