elements / components sensitive to electrostatic discharges
• This device contains electronic components sensitive to electro-
static discharges. They may be damaged if they are touched by
an electrostatically charged person or object. In the worst case
scenario, these components are instantly destroyed or go out of
order as soon as they are activated.
• To minimise or even avoid all damage due to an electrostatic
discharge, take all the precautions described in the EN 61340-
