ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICE PROTECTION POLICY
ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICE PROTECTION POLICY
This policy applies to static sensitive electronic products primarily printed circuit boards (PCBs) and sensors. Switches, relay, lamps and
wire are not sensitive and do not apply.
If welding near ESD components, correctly protect and ground all necessary equipment.
1. Prior to handling PCBs, wear a static grounding wrist strap and clip it to an electrical ground. The metal plate on the inside of the
wristband must be in contact with the wearers skin.
2. PCBs should never be handed to other personnel or set down anywhere.
3. Place PCBs in black ESD shielding bags for return or storage. Only one PCB or sensor should be placed in a static bag. Attach
paperwork and other items to the outside with adhesive pouches or elastic bands.
4. The control boxes protect the PCBs inside from static, and should not be used to store manuals or other accessories.
ATTENTION
DO NOT DISCARD. Any components shipped
back to Blue Giant must be in their original
packaging (along with completed RGA form
taped to the OUTSIDE of the static bag) or
warranty may be voided.
