D3352.201.12.01.0203.2019 15
2.18 Electrostatic discharge
Protective measures
ESD stands for ElectroStatic Discharge.
Electrostatic discharge from people can damage electronic components
when the components are touched. Damaged components usually have
to be replaced. Repairs must be performed by qualified personnel.
Measures to protect against ESD include:
● Procedures to avoid electrostatic charging via
– air conditioning
– air humidification
– conductive floor coverings
– non-synthetic clothing
● discharging the electrostatic charges from your own body through
contact with
– a metallic unit casing
– a larger metallic object
– any other metal part grounded with the protective earth
● Wearing an antistatic band that creates a connection between the
body and a protective ground wire.
Areas at risk are indicated on the unit with the ESD warning label:
We recommend that all persons working with this system are made
aware of the significance of the ESD warning label. A training course
should also be held to inform users about the physics of electrostatic
charges.
Physics of electrostatic charges
An electrostatic discharge requires prior electrostatic charging.
There is a danger of electrostatic charges building up whenever two
bodies rub against each other, e.g. when:
● walking (soles of shoes against the floor) or
● moving (chair casters against floor).
The amount of charge depends on several factors. The charge is:
● higher at low air humidity than at high air humidity, and
● higher with synthetic materials than with natural materials (clothing,
floor coverings).
The following rule of thumb can be applied to assess the transient
voltages resulting from an electrostatic discharge.
An electrostatic discharge is:
● perceptible at 3,000 V or higher
● audible at 5,000 V or higher (cracking, crackling)
● visible at 10,000 V or higher (arc-over)

D3352.201.12.01.0203.2019
The transient currents resulting from these discharges have a
magnitude of over 10 amps. They are not hazardous for humans
because they last for only several nanoseconds.
Note: nanosecond = 1/1,000,000,000second = 1billionth of a second
Voltage differentials exceeding 30,000 volts per centimeter may lead to
a charge transfer (electrostatic discharge, lightning, spark-over).
Integrated circuits (logical circuits and microprocessors) are used in
order to implement a wide variety of functions in a device. The circuits
must be miniaturized to a very high degree in order to include as many
functions as possible on these chips. This leads to structure thicknesses
as low as a few ten thousandths of a millimeter. Integrated circuits that
are connected to wires leading externally are therefore particularly at
risk from electrostatic discharge.
Even voltages that are imperceptible to the user can cause breakdown
of the structures, thus leading to a discharge current that melts the chip
in the affected areas. Damage to individual integrated circuits may
cause malfunction or failure of the unit.

Automatic exposure block-
ing:
The duration of automatic exposure
blocking (cooling period) depends on
the set kV/mA level and the actual ex-
posure time. Depending on the tube
load, interval times of 8 s to 300 s are
automatically set by the system.
Example: For program P1 with expo-
sure data of 80 kV/14 mA and a radia-
tion time of 14.1 s, the pause duration
is 150 s.
