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 work bench, 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 TELEDYNE
Packing materials such as bubble pack and Styrofoam pellets are extremely efficient
generators of static electric charges. To prevent damage from ESD, Teledyne API ships
all electronic components and assemblies in properly sealed anti-ESD containers.
Static charges will build up on the outer surface of the anti-ESD container during
shipping as the packing materials vibrate and rub against each other. To prevent these
static charges from damaging the components or assemblies being shipped ensure that
you always unpack shipments from Teledyne API by:
1. Opening the outer shipping box away from the anti-ESD work area.
2. Carry the still sealed ant-ESD bag, tube or bin to the anti-ESD work area.
3. Follow steps 6 and 7 of Section 14.5.3 above when opening the anti-ESD
container at
the work station.
4. Reserve the anti-ESD container or bag to use when packing electronic components
or assemblies to be returned to Teledyne API.
14.5.5. PACKING COMPONENTS FOR RETURN TO TELEDYNE API
ATTENTION – COULD DAMAGE INSTRUMENT AND VOID WARRANTY
Always pack electronic components and assemblies to be sent to Teledyne
API’s Technical Support in anti-ESD bins, tubes or bags.
DO NOT use pink-
poly bags.
NEVER allow any standard plastic packaging materials to touch the electronic
component/assembly directly.
This includes, but is not limited to, plastic bubble-pack, Styrofoam peanuts, open
cell foam, closed cell foam, and adhesive tape.
DO NOT use standard adhesive tape as a sealer. Use ONLY anti-ESD tape.
1. Open the outer shipping box away from the anti-ESD work area.
2. Carry the still sealed anti-ESD bag, tube or bin to the anti-ESD work area.
3. Follow steps 6 and 7 of Section 14.5.3 above when opening the anti-ESD
container at
the work station.
4. Reserve the anti-ESD container or bag to use when packing electronic components
or assemblies to be returned to Teledyne API.
5. Never carry any component or assembly without placing it in an anti-ESD bag or bin.
6. Before using the bag or container, allow any surface charges on it to dissipate:
