2.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the AUPS
Series may result in permanent damage to the AUPS Series and
severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AUPS Series. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the AUPS Series, or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.

 Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can

help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.

 Self-grounding: Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting

material. During the time the board is handled, f requently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.

 Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the AUPS Series, place it on an

antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the AUPS
Series.

 Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hol d the PCB

by the edges.
