Model 9110T NOx Analyzer Primer on ESD
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 372
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.
14.5.3. TRANSFERRING COMPONENTS BETWEEN RACK AND BENCH
When transferring a sensitive device from an installed TAI analyzer to an Anti-ESD workbench or back:
1. Follow the instructions listed above for working at the instrument rack and workstation.
2. Never carry the component or assembly without placing it in an anti-ESD bag or bin.
3. 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.
If you are at an anti-ESD workbench, lay the container down on the conductive work
surface.
In either case wait several seconds.
4. Place the item in the container.
5. Seal the container. If using a bag, fold the end over and fastening it with anti-ESD tape.
Folding the open end over isolates the component(s) inside from the effects of static fields.
Leaving the bag open or simply stapling it shut without folding it closed prevents the bag
from forming a complete protective envelope around the device.
6. Once you have arrived at your destination, allow any surface charges that may have built up on
the bag or bin during travel to dissipate:
Connect your wrist strap to ground.
If you are at the instrument rack, hold the bag in one hand while your wrist strap is
connected to a ground point.
If you are at a anti-ESD workbench, lay the container down on the conductive work surface.
In either case wait several seconds.
7. Open the container.
14.5.4. OPENING SHIPMENTS FROM TAI CUSTOMER SERVICE
Packing materials such as bubble pack and Styrofoam pellets are extremely efficient generators of static
electric charges. To prevent damage from ESD, TAI ships all electronic components and assemblies in
properly sealed ant-ESD containers.
