2.2. Handling of Electrostatic Sensitive Devices

ATTENTION

Observe Precautions For Handling

Electrostatic Sensitive Devices

Caution: Certain semiconductor devices used in the equipment are liable to damage due to

static voltages.

Observe the following precautions when handling these devices in their unterminated state, or sub-

units containing these devices:

•Persons removing sub-units from any equipment using electrostatic sensitive devices must be

earthed by a wrist strap via a 1MΩresistor to a suitable discharge reference point within the

equipment.

•Soldering irons used during any repairs must be low voltage types with earthed tips and

isolated from the Mains voltage by a double insulated transformer. Care should be taken

soldering any point that may have a charge stored.

•Outer clothing worn must be unable to generate static charges.

•Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) fitted with electrostatic sensitive devices must be stored and

transported in appropriate anti-static bags/containers.

3 The warranty is not transferable, except or as applies to Purchaser first then to client.

4 TIL must be notified immediately (in writing) of any suspected defect and if advised by TIL, the equipment subject

to the defect shall be returned by the customer to TIL, via a suitable mode of transportation and shall be freight

paid.

5 The warranty does not apply to defects that have been caused by failure to follow the recommended installation or

maintenance procedures. Or defects resulting from normal wear & tear, incorrect operation, fire, water ingress,

lightning damage or fluctuations in vehicles supply voltages, or from any other circumstances that may arise after

delivery that is out with the control of TIL.

(Note: The warranty does not apply in the event where a defect has been caused by isolation incompatibilities.)
