Q: What do I do if I smell Ozone and suspect a leak?
A: Ensure that all the fittings are tight. If the fittings are tight and ozone is still detected send
the monitor back for repair to Teledyne Instruments’ customer service for repair.
Q: What do I do if my CPU status light stops flashing?
A: The CPU has stopped working. This is a major malfunction of the monitor. Return it to
Teledyne Instruments’ customer service for repair.
Q: What do I do if the Status OK light turns off or doesn't turn on after 30 min.?
A: If the status ok light is off and the Lamp low light is on then the monitor’s UV lamp needs to
be adjusted.
If the status ok light is off and the Lamp Low light is off then most likely the UV lamp output
has drifted to >5000mv and needs to be adjusted.
Q: What does it mean if the Invalid Reading light turns on?
A: This will happen if the:
Ozone supply pressure exceeds 14.9 psia.
Ozone concentration exceeds the Range of the monitor then this light will turn on.
Ozone concentration goes excessively negative.
Q: What do I do if my Lamp Low light turns on?
A: If the Lamp Low light turns on and the Status OK light is ON, the UV reference value has
dropped to < 1000mv. The monitor will continue to run with no problems until the UV
reference drops below 500mv.
If the Lamp low light turns on and the Status OK light is OFF, the UV reference has dropped
below acceptable limits and will have to be adjusted.
Q: When should I change the Particulate Filter and how do I change it?
A: The Particulate filter should be changed monthly. See Section 9.1for instructions on
performing this replacement.

6.1.2. Zero Point Calibration
The 460L needs little or no calibration in the field; however sometimes minor measurement
offsets can occur. To compensate for this a zero point calibration can be initiated by using the
two ZERO buttons. See Section 8.1 for more information.
6.1.3. Status LED’s
The four status LED’s to the right of the display indicate the general status of the 460L Monitor.
During normal operation, after the monitor has warmed up, the green ‘Sensor OK’ LED should be
on and all other Status LED’s should be off. For information on troubleshooting using the Status
LED’s, see Sections 11.2.4.

6.2. Concentration Alarms
There are two O3 concentration alarms, HI and HI-HI. Both alarms are triggered when the
measured O
HI alarm must always be a lower value than that of the HI-HI alarm. If the O
between the HI limit and the HI-HI limit, the HI alarm will be active, but the HI-HI alarm will be
inactive.
When either the HI or the HI-HI alarms are active the ALARM ACTIVE status LED on the front
panel (see Figure 3-1) will blink. In addition when the HI alarm is active alarm trigger LED D7 (on
the main PCA, see Figure 3-12) will glow and when the HI-HI alarm is active alarm trigger LED
D8 will glow.
6.2.1.1. Concentration Alarm Configuration
Either of the concentration alarms can be independently configured via the 460L’s serial
communication port (see Section 7.3.11).
The user can set the alarms to operate in either the latching or non-latching as well as
independently adjust the trigger levels of the alarm limits.

6.2.1.2. Remotely Sensing the Status of the Alarm
Besides the LEDs located on the front panel and on the monitor’s main PCA, the status of each
alarm can be sensed externally via a single-pull, double-throw relay (see Section 3.5.4) or
determined from a remote locati
on via the monitor’s serial communication port (See Chapter 7).
6.2.1.3. Clearing Alarms
When set for non-latching mode the alarms will only clear when the alarm condition disappears
and will do so automatically. When in latching mode, the concentration alarms may be cleared in
several ways:
FRONT PANEL: Pressing the ALARM ACKNOWLEDGE key on the monitor’s front panel
will clear all active alarms.
SERIAL COMMUNICATION PORT: The ALMACK command to clear all active alarms (see

DESCRIPTION
Returns a formatted, easy to read list of an internal configuration variables (VAR’s) and their

Variations in ambient conditions, most notably changes in ambient humidity, and minor changes
in the performance of certain electronic components over time may cause slight offsets in the zero
point measurement of the monitor. To check for and compensate for these minor offsets use the
following procedure.
1. Supply zero air to the monitor by inserting a O
the ozone supply gas line just before it enters the monitor.
A scrubber of this type is available from Teledyne Instruments
(Carbon Filter, DAU, 000 Grade; P/N FL0000020).
NOTE
Since variations in humidity is a common cause of these types of offsets, use of bottled
O2, which is extremely dry, as zero air is not recommended particularly in areas where
the ambient humidity is high.
2. Once the scrubber is installed, allow the monitor to operate until the O3 reading stabilizes.
This may take approximately 15 minutes
3. Check the O
If the reading is within the repeatability specification of the monitor (see Section 2.1),
no adjustment is needed.
If the reading is higher than the repeatability specification of the monitor but still
relatively minor (10 to 20 ppb for example), press the two ZERO keys on the front

8.3. Adjusting the Optional Current Loop Output
If your monitor includes the option current loop output you may need to check or adjust the
actual current levels of the output to ensure that it matches the input requirements of your
recording device. See Section 3.5.1 for details on making connections to the 4-20mA output.
To manually adjust the zero and span points of the 4-20mA analog output:
1. Disconnect the monitor from AC power.
2. Connect current measuring meter in series with the 4-20mA output. For best results, the
4-20mA output should be calibrated with the actual load (measuring device) attached. If
this cannot be done, then a 250 – 500 ohm resistor should be placed in series with the
current meter to simulate a load.

9.1.2. Mounting the Particulate Filter Externally
In applications where the 460L is sampling ambient air at its own location and no inlet gas line is
being used, the particulate filter can be mounted on the outside of the instrument so that it may
be replaced without turning off the monitor or opening the case.
To mount the particulate filter outside the monitor enclosure:
1. Turn the monitor off and ensure that the gas delivery line is not under pressure
2. Purge the gas delivery line of ozone.
3. Unscrew the pressure attached to the internal gas line (Fitting A in Figure 9-2) from the
union fitting.
4. Unscrew the union fitting from the fitting at the top of the filter (fitting B in Figure 9-2).
Although the union fitting is no longer needed, save it in case you wish to return the
particulate filter to the inside of the monitor at a later date.
5. Unscrew the pressure fitting at the bottom of the filter (Fitting C in Figure 9-2) from the
ozone inlet.
6. Reattach the filter to the external side of the ozone inlet.
7. Attach the internal gas line to the internal side of the ozone inlet using Fitting A.

9.2.2. Replacing the Coalescing Membrane
The coalescing filter contains a replaceable Teflon® coalescing membrane. Under normal
operating conditions, this membrane should last for a long time, however a significant reduction in
the gas pressure measured in the O3 cell might indicate that this membrane needs replacement.
To replace the filter membrane:
1. Disconnect ozone supply line from the monitor and shut off flow to the monitor using
needle valve on front panel.
2. Remove inlet and exit fittings from scrubber body and cap.
3. Remove the orange cap from the top of the coalescing filter.
4. Remove the old membrane. It is located on the underside of the cap assembly
(see Figure 9-4).
5. Insert the new membrane into the cap assembly.
6. Tightly secure the cap back on the filter.
7. Reconnect the O

10.1.1. (Beer’s Law)
The detection of ozone molecules in a gas is based on the principle that ozone is a very strong
absorber of UV light with a wavelength of 254 nm. If the distance that this light travels through
the gas is always the same, the more ozone present in a gas, the more UV light is absorbed. If
the distance the light travels through the gas, the intensity of light passing through the ozone
containing gas, as well as the intensity of the light which does not pass through the gas are all
known, the amount of ozone present can be calculated according to the following equation, called
Beer’s Law (also referred to as the Beer-Lambert equation).

I is the intensity with absorption.
L is the absorption path, or the distance the light travels as it is being absorbed. This
distance determines how many molecules are present in the column of gas in the
absorption cell.
C is the concentration of the absorbing gas. In the case of the Model 460L, Ozone (O

α is the absorption coefficient absorption coefficient, a number that reflects the inherent
ability of ozone to absorb 254 nm light. Most current measurements place this value at
308 cm-1 atm-1 at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP). The value of this
number reflects the fact that ozone is a very efficient absorber of UV radiation which is
why stratospheric ozone protects the life forms lower in the atmosphere from the
harmful effects from solar UV radiation.

Because ozone is a very efficient absorber of UV radiation the Absorption Path Length required to
create a measurable decrease in UV intensity is short enough (approximately 16 cm) that the light

beam is only required to make pass through the Absorption Tube. Therefore no complex mirror
system is needed to lengthen the effective path by bouncing the beam back and forth.
Finally, the UV then passes through a similar window at the other end of the Absorption Tube and
is detected by a specially designed vacuum diode that only detects radiation at or very near a
wavelength of 254nm. The specificity of the detector is high enough that no extra optical filtering
of the UV light is needed.
The detector reacts to the UV light and outputs a voltage that varies in direct relationship with
the light’s intensity. This voltage is digitized and sent to the instrument’s CPU to be used in
computing the concentration of O
in the absorption tube.

460L Instruction Manual Theory of Operation
Air flow through the M460L O3 Monitor is supplied by a single-diaphragm, brushless DC pump that
pulls air though the monitor. Since diaphragm pumps necessarily heat and compress the air they
are pumping and since both temperature and pressure fluctuations can effect the O
measurement, the pump is placed down stream from the measurement cell to avoid any
inadvertent effects resulting from the pumping action.
An adjustable needle-restrictor valve and flow gauge, located on the front panel of the monitor
allow the user to manually adjust the gas flow rate through the monitor.
Particulate Filter
To remove particles in the sample gas which might clog airways or foul the measurement cell
optics, the monitor is equipped with a glass-fiber membrane filter of 25 mm diameter with a pore
size of 1.5 microns. The filter is located inside the black housing on the bottom of the monitor.
See Section 9.1 for location and instruction for replacing the filter element.

the flow rates and pressure difference between inner and outer tubing.

10.2.3.3. Ozone Destruct Scrubber
The ozone destruct scrubber removes O3 from the exhaust gas stream of the monitor after it exits
the instrument’s absorption tube but before it can damage the 460L’s flow meter and pump. It
also prevents hazardously high levels of O
from exiting the monitors exhaust outlet.

When installed, the O
scrubber is located outside the monitor’s NEMA housing, on the right side

at the top (see Figure 3-5). It is filled with a special catalytic ozone scrubbing material that
removes all of the O
from the sample gas exiting the sensor module’s absorption tube. The
3
catalyst used in the scrubber only converts ozone to oxygen and does not produce any toxic or
hazardous gases.
The catalyst is 100% efficient at scrubbing ozone at room temperature. It is a true catalytic
converter, therefore there are no maintenance requirements such as changing the scrubbing
material as is required for charcoal-based scrubbers.

Electronically, the 460L is of modular design (see Figure 10-5). Each Sub-module performs a
specific set of functions as described in Sections 10.3.1 through 10.3.5.
10.3.1. Main Board
This printed circuit assembly provides interconnection between the monitor’s other electronic
modules; some opto-isolated signal buffers for the digital status outputs and control inputs and is
the location of the three solid state output relays (see Section 3.5.5).
The monitor’s main power supply (see Section 10.3.5) is also located on this assembly.

3
UV Lamp: The ultraviolet light needed to detect O3 is supplied by a mercury-vapor UV
lamp. This lamp is coated in a material that optically screens the UV radiation output to
remove the O

UV Lamp Heater : to operate efficiently the UV lamp must be kept at a temperature of
52˚C or higher. While the heat created by the lamp itself is usually sufficient to cause this,
under some ambient conditions additional heating is required. This additional heat is
provided by a DC heater, controlled by the sensor microprocessor.
Temperature Sensors: Two solid state temperature sensors are located in the O

Two stages of the preamplifier are used to amplify the output signals of the detector to a

A/D Converter Signal Selection
: The A/D converter can only convert one signal at a time.
The sensor microprocessor selects which of the sensor inputs is to be converted(pressure

Data Output
: The sensor microprocessor collects data from the various digital sensors as
well as the data converted by its internal A/D and sends it to the main CPU via an internal
RS-485 serial data bus.
UV Lamp Heater Control
: The sensor microprocessor also provides direct control of the UV
lamp heater by turning it on and off via a transistor using high frequency pulse width
modulation. The output of the UV Lamp sensor is converted by the micrprocessor’s A/D
converter. Based on this digital value the sensor microprocessor sends out pulses that
turn the heater ON/OFF. The more heat needed the longer the width of the ON (logic high)
pulse and the shorter the width of the OFF (logic low) portion of the pulse.
Measure / Reference Valve Control: The Measure/Reference valve is actuated by a 12
VDC solenoid valve driver that is controlled by timing circuitry built into the sensor module
board.

C is a two-wire, clocked, bi-directional, digital serial I/O
bus that is used widely in commercial and consumer electronic systems.
Keyboard Input: The three keys/buttons on the front panel (two zero keys and the
Alarm Resert key) are sensed directly by the CPU as simple digital contact closures.
Analog Output: The 460L is equipped with one analog output which reports the current
concentration currently being measured by the monitor. During auto zero operation the
O

last valid concentration value is held until the auto zero procedure is completed. This
output is factory configurable as either a 0-5 VDC signal or a 4-20 mA signal.
Serial I/O: A standard RS-232 or RS-485 serial communications port. Section 3.5.4
describes how to configure and make connections to this port. Chapter 7 describes the
syntax and commands available for use.
Control Inputs: These inputs are used to initiate certain operations. (see Table 3-3).
They are triggered by providing a contact closure or low impedance current path between
the input and the ground pin (GND – see Figure 3-9). This can be done by using a
mechanical switch or isolated transistor output from another device, such as a PLC.
10.3.3.2. Status and Alarm Functions
Relay Outputs: The 460L is equipped with three relay three SPDT relay. They are located
at the top right hand side of the main board and are labeled RELAY 1, RELAY 2 & RELAY 3.
RELAY 1 corresponds to the Sensor OK status output and LED;
RELAY 2 corresponds to the HI concentration alarm, and;
RELAY 3 corresponds to the HI-HI concentration alarm
Status LED’s: Based on data received from the sensor module, it activates and
deactivates the four status LED’s located on the monitor’s front panel (see Section 11.2.4).
Status Outputs: Logic-Level voltages are output via optically isolated NPN transistors,
which sink up to 50 mA of DC current. They are accessed through connector J2 on the
main board. Several of these outputs convey good/bad information about key monitor
operational conditions (see Section 11.2). Others reflect the status of the monitors O
3
concentration alarms.
These outputs can be used to interface with devices that accept logic-level digital inputs,
such as programmable logic controllers (PLC’s). Each Status bit is an open collector output
that can withstand up to 40 VDC. All of the emitters of these transistors are tied together

normally connected to the input ground of the external device.
NOTE
Most PLC’s have internal provisions for limiting the current that the input will
draw from an external device. When connecting to a unit that does not have this
feature, an external dropping resistor must be used to limit the current through
the transistor output to less than 50 mA. At 50 mA, the transistor will drop
approximately 1.2V from its collector to emitter.
10.3.4. Display Driver and Keyboard Assembly
10.3.4.1. Keyboard
The keyboard of the M460L is comprised of 3 contact closure button/keys that are directly sensed
by the monitor’s CPU. These Switches are:
Zero Switches: When pressed simultaneously, these switches activate the monitor’s auto
zero calibration feature (see Section 8.1). Activating either switch independently has no
affect on the monitor’s’ operation.

current gas pressure of the source gas as measured by the gas pressure sensor located on
the measurement cell. Pressure is displayed in units of psia (pounds per square inch
absolute).

assembly generates the 30 kHz AC voltage for the monitor’s mercury vapor UV lamp. The
output of this power supply is variable. At startup voltage level of this output can reach as
high a 1000 VAC. Once the lamp is warmed up and operating at peak efficiency, the
output should be around 200 VAC.
The 460L has no onboard ON/OFF switch. A hardwired 2 Amp fuse is located on the main power
supply assembly to provide over voltage/current protection.

This chapter gives guidelines for diagnosing system and sensor malfunctions using the five digital
Status Outputs provided by the 460L. All troubleshooting should be done after the 460L has been
turned on and allowed to warm up for at least 15 minutes.
11.1. Status Output Summary
Table 11-1 below gives a summary of the operation of the Status Outputs on the 460L. See
Section 3.5.2 Digital Status Outputs for information on connecting these outputs.

output will stay off until the UV lamp reaches a minimum intensity. If this output remains OFF
after the 15 minute warm-up period, or goes off during normal operation the 460L is in need of
servicing.
If the Sensor OK output turns OFF
One of the analog voltages output by the sensor module (reference / measure) is too high.
This could mean that the lamp output has drifted high
The reference voltage output by the sensor module (reference / measure) is too low. This
could mean that the lamp intensity has drifted very low or the lamp is completely off.

The O3 sensor is not responding to CPU requests for data. This could represent a variety
of electronic problems with the sensor module or internal communication between the CPU
and the sensor module.
11.2.2. Invalid Reading
The normal state for the Invalid Reading output is OFF. When this output turns ON, the 460L is
still operational, but a system fault or calibration fault exists that may make the current ozone
reading invalid.
The Invalid Reading output is turned ON for any of the following conditions:
The measured pressure in the measurement cell exceeds too high indicating that the O
supply is under pressure.
The measured pressure in the measurement cell exceeds too low indicating that there
could be a blockage in the monitor’s internal pneumatic lines.
The measured concentration has exceeded the measurement range selected for the

The measured concentration is an excessively negative reading (less than -0.10 ppm or –
10.0 ppb).

11.2.3. Lamp Low
The normal state for the lamp low output is OFF. This output turns on when the UV lamp intensity
as measured by the reference detector has dropped below 375mV. This could mean that the lamp

460L Instruction Manual A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge
12. A PRIMER ON ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE
Teledyne Instruments considers the prevention of damage caused by the discharge of static
electricity to be extremely important part of making sure that your analyzer continues to provide
reliable service for a long time. This section describes how static electricity occurs, why it is so
dangerous to electronic components and assemblies as well as how to prevent that damage from
occurring.
12.1. How Static Charges are Created
Modern electronic devices such as the types used in the various electronic assemblies of your
analyzer, are very small, require very little power and operate very quickly. Unfortunately, the
same characteristics that allow them to do these things also make them very susceptible to
damage from the discharge of static electricity. Controlling electrostatic discharge begins with
understanding how electro-static charges occur in the first place.
Static electricity is the result of something called triboelectric charging which happens whenever
the atoms of the surface layers of two materials rub against each other. As the atoms of the two
surfaces move together and separate, some electrons from one surface are retained by the other.

Figure 12-1 Triboelectric Charging
If one of the surfaces is a poor conductor or even a good conductor that is not grounded, the
resulting positive or negative charge cannot bleed off and becomes trapped in place, or static.
The most common example of triboelectric charging happens when someone wearing leather or
rubber soled shoes walks across a nylon carpet or linoleum tiled floor. With each step, electrons
change places and the resulting electro-static charge builds up, quickly reaching significant levels.
Pushing an epoxy printed circuit board across a workbench, using a plastic handled screwdriver
or even the constant jostling of Styrofoam
TM
pellets during shipment can also build hefty static
charges.

12.2. How Electro-Static Charges Cause Damage
Damage to components occurs when these static charges come into contact with an electronic
device. Current flows as the charge moves along the conductive circuitry of the device and the
typically very high voltage levels of the charge overheat the delicate traces of the integrated
circuits, melting them or even vaporizing parts of them. When examined by microscope the
damage caused by electro-static discharge looks a lot like tiny bomb craters littered across the
landscape of the component’s circuitry.
A quick comparison of the values in Table 12-1 with the those shown in Table 12-2, listing device
sceptibility
su
levels, shows why Semiconductor Reliability News estimates that approximately
60% of device failures are the result of damage due to electro-static discharge.

460L Instruction Manual A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge
Any time a charged surface (including the human body) discharges to a device. Even
simple contact of a finger to the leads of a sensitive device or assembly can allow enough
discharge to cause damage. A similar discharge can occur from a charged conductive
object, such as a metallic tool or fixture.
When static charges accumulated on a sensitive device discharges from the device to
another surface such as packaging materials, work surfaces, machine surfaces or other
device. In some cases, charged device discharges can be the most destructive.
A typical example of this is the simple act of installing an electronic assembly into the
connector or wiring harness of the equipment in which it is to function. If the assembly is
carrying a static charge, as it is connected to ground a discharge will occur.
Whenever a sensitive device is moved into the field of an existing electro-static field, a
charge may be induced on the device in effect discharging the field onto the device. If the
device is then momentarily grounded while within the electrostatic field or removed from
the region of the electrostatic field and grounded somewhere else, a second discharge will
occur as the charge is transferred from the device to ground.
12.3. Common Myths About ESD Damage
I didn’t feel a shock so there was no electro-static discharge: The human nervous
system isn’t able to feel a static discharge of less than 3500 volts. Most devices are
damaged by discharge levels much lower than that.
I didn’t touch it so there was no electro-static discharge: Electro Static charges are
fields whose lines of force can extend several inches or sometimes even feet away from the
surface bearing the charge.
It still works so there was no damage: Sometimes the damaged caused by electro-static
discharge can completely sever a circuit trace causing the device to fail immediately. More
likely, the trace will be only partially occluded by the damage causing degraded
performance of the device or worse, weakening the trace. This weakened circuit may seem
to function fine for a short time, but even the very low voltage and current levels of the
device’s normal operating levels will eat away at the defect over time causing the device to
fail well before its designed lifetime is reached.
These latent failures are often the most costly since the failure of the equipment in which
the damaged device is installed causes down time, lost data, lost productivity, as well as
possible failure and damage to other pieces of equipment or property.
Static Charges can’t build up on a conductive surface: There are two errors in this
statement.
Conductive devices can build static charges if they are not grounded. The charge will be
equalized across the entire device, but without access to earth ground, they are still
trapped and can still build to high enough levels to cause damage when they are
discharged.
A charge can be induced onto the conductive surface and/or discharge triggered in the
presence of a charged field such as a large static charge clinging to the surface of a nylon
jacket of someone walking up to a workbench.
As long as my analyzer is properly installed, it is safe from damage caused by static
discharges: It is true that when properly installed the chassis ground of your analyzer is
tied to earth ground and its electronic components are prevented from building static
electric charges themselves. This does not prevent discharges from static fields built up on

other things, like you and your clothing, from discharging through the instrument and
damaging it.
12.4. Basic Principles of Static Control
It is impossible to stop the creation of instantaneous static electric charges. It is not, however
difficult to prevent those charges from building to dangerous levels or prevent damage due to
electro-static discharge from occurring.
12.4.1. General Rules
Only handle or work on all electronic assemblies at a properly set up ESD station. Setting up an
ESD safe workstation need not be complicated. A protective mat properly tied to ground and a
wrist strap are all that is needed to create a basic anti-ESD workstation.
Ground Point
Protective Mat
Wrist Str
Figure 12-2 Basic anti-ESD Workbench
For technicians that work in the field, special lightweight and portable anti-ESD kits are available
from most suppliers of ESD protection gear. These include everything needed to create a
temporary anti-ESD work area anywhere.
Always wear an Anti-ESD wrist strap when working on the electronic assemblies of
your analyzer. An anti-ESD wrist strap keeps the person wearing it at or near the same
potential as other grounded objects in the work area and allows static charges to dissipate
before they can build to dangerous levels. Anti-ESD wrist straps terminated with alligator
clips are available for use in work areas where there is no available grounded plug.
Also, anti-ESD wrist straps include a current limiting resistor (usually around one meg-ohm)
that protects you should you accidentally short yourself to the instrument’s power supply.
Simply touching a grounded piece of metal is insufficient. While this may temporarily
bleed off static charges present at the time, once you stop touching the grounded metal
new static charges will immediately begin to re-build. In some conditions, a charge large
enough to damage a component can rebuild in just a few seconds.
Always store sensitive components and assemblies in anti-ESD storage bags or bins:
Even when you are not working on them, store all devices and assemblies in a closed anti-
Static bag or bin. This will prevent induced charges from building up on the device or
assembly and nearby static fields from discharging through it.
Use metallic anti-ESD bags for storing and shipping ESD sensitive components and
assemblies rather than pink-poly bags. The famous, pink-poly bags are made of a
plastic that is impregnated with a liquid (similar to liquid laundry detergent) which very
slowly sweats onto the surface of the plastic creating a slightly conductive layer over the
surface of the bag.
72 05228 Rev B
PRINTED DOCUMENTS ARE UNCONTROLLED DCN 5164
TELEDYNE INSTRUMENTS
460L Instruction Manual A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge
While this layer may equalizes any charges that occur across the whole bag, it does not
prevent the build-up of static charges. If laying on a conductive, grounded surface, these
bags will allow charges to bleed away but the very charges that build up on the surface of
the bag itself can be transferred through the bag by induction onto the circuits of your ESD
sensitive device. Also, the liquid impregnating the plastic is eventually used up after which
the bag is as useless for preventing damage from ESD as any ordinary plastic bag.
Anti-Static bags made of plastic impregnated with metal (usually silvery in color) provide all
of the charge equalizing abilities of the pink-poly bags but also, when properly sealed,
create a Faraday cage that completely isolates the contents from discharges and the
inductive transfer of static charges.
Storage bins made of plastic impregnated with carbon (usually black in color) are also
excellent at dissipating static charges and isolating their contents from field effects and
discharges.
Never use ordinary plastic adhesive tape near an ESD sensitive device or to close an
anti-ESD bag. The act of pulling a piece of standard plastic adhesive tape, such as

12.4.2. Basic anti-ESD Procedures for Analyzer Repair and
Maintenance
12.4.2.1. Working at the Instrument Rack
When working on the analyzer while it is in the instrument rack and plugged into a properly
grounded power supply
1. Attach you anti-ESD wrist strap to ground before doing anything else.
Use a wrist strap terminated with an alligator clip and attach it to a bare metal portion of
the instrument chassis.
This will safely connect you to the same ground level to which the instrument and all of its
components are connected.
2. Pause for a second or two to allow any static charges to bleed away.
3. Open the casing of the analyzer and begin work. Up to this point, the closed metal casing
of your analyzer has isolated the components and assemblies inside from any conducted
or induced static charges.
4. If you must remove a component from the instrument, do not lay it down on a non-ESD
preventative surface where static charges may lie in wait.
5. Only disconnect your wrist strap after you have finished work and closed the case of the
analyzer.
12.4.2.2. Working at an Anti-ESD Work Bench.
When working on an instrument of an electronic assembly while it is resting on a anti-ESD
workbench
1. Plug your anti-ESD wrist strap into the grounded receptacle of the work station before
touching any items on the work station and while standing at least a foot or so away.
05228 Rev B 73
DCN 5164 PRINTED DOCUMENTS ARE UNCONTROLLED
TELEDYNE INSTRUMENTS
A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge 460L Instruction Manual
This will allow any charges you are carrying to bleed away through the ground connection
of the workstation and prevent discharges due to field effects and induction from
occurring.
2. Pause for a second or two to allow any static charges to bleed away.
3. Only open any anti-ESD storage bins or bags containing sensitive devices or assemblies
after you have plugged your wrist strap into the workstation.
Lay the bag or bin on the workbench surface.
Before opening the container, wait several seconds for any static charges on the
outside surface of the container to be bled away by the workstation’s grounded
protective mat.
4. Do not pick up tools that may be carrying static charges while also touching or holding an
ESD sensitive Device.
5. Only lay tools or ESD-sensitive devices and assemblies on the conductive surface of your
workstation. Never lay them down on any non-ESD preventative surface.
6. Place any static sensitive devices or assemblies in anti-static storage bags or bins and
close the bag or bin before unplugging your wrist strap.
7. Disconnecting your wrist strap is always the last action taken before leaving the
workbench.
12.4.2.3. Transferring Components from Rack to Bench and Back
When transferring a sensitive device from an installed Teledyne Instruments analyzer to an AntiESD workbench or back:
1. Follow the instructions listed above for working at the instrument rack and workstation.
2. Never carry the component or assembly without placing it in an anti-ESD bag or bin.
3. Before using the bag or container allow any surface charges on it to dissipate:
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 an anti-ESD workbench, lay the container down on the conductive work
surface.
In either case wait several seconds.
4. Place the item in the container.
74 05228 Rev B

TELEDYNE INSTRUMENTS
460L Instruction Manual A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge
5. Seal the container. If using a bag, fold the end over and fastening it with anti-ESD tape.
Folding the open end over isolates the component(s) inside from the effects of static
fields.
Leaving the bag open or simply stapling it shut without folding it closed prevents the
bag from forming a complete protective envelope around the device.
6. Once you have arrived at your destination, allow any surface charges that may have built
up on the bag or bin during travel to dissipate:
7. 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 workbench, lay the container down on the conductive work
surface.
In either case wait several seconds.
8. Open the container.
12.4.2.4. Opening Shipments from Teledyne Instruments’ Customer
Service.
Packing materials such as bubble pack and Styrofoam pellets are extremely efficient generators of
static electric charges. To prevent damage from ESD, Teledyne Instruments ships all electronic
components and assemblies in properly sealed ant-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 make sure that you:
1. Always unpack shipments from Teledyne Instruments Customer Service by.
2. Open the outer shipping box away from the anti-ESD work area.
3. Carry the still sealed ant-ESD bag, tube or bin to the anti-ESD work area.
4. Follow steps 6 and 7 of Section 12.4.2.3 above when opening the anti-ESD container at the
work stati
5. Reserve the anti-ESD container or bag to use when packing electronic components or
assemblies to be returned to Teledyne Instruments.
