ESD Remark:
In case of misfunction due to
electrostatic discharge just reset
the product (reconnect of power
source may be required) to resume
normal operation.
A case of electrostatic discharge
occurs, for example, should someone
wearing shoes with plastic soles
walk over a carpet that also contains
plastic elements. Through the friction
of the shoe soles on the carpet a
charge is created in the body which
discharges itself as soon as one touches
an electricity conducting object, such
as for example a door knob or the
bodywork of a motor vehicle. Direct
contact is not required to effect a
discharge. It is sufficient to approach
the conducting item to within a few
centimetres. The charge can the dis-
charge itself over an electric arc. A
discharge is thus also possible through
plastic housing components.
