ElectrostaticDischargeAwareness
All electronicequipmentis static-sensitive,
somecomponents morethanothers.
To protectthesecomponents fromstaticdamage,you musttakespecial
precautions to minimizeor eliminateelectrostatic
discharges.

Followtheseprecautions
whenworkingwithor nearthe control.

1. Beforedoingmaintenance on the electroniccontrol,dischargethe static

electricityon yourbodyto groundby touchingand holdinga groundedmetal
object(pipes,cabinets,equipment,etc.).

2. Avoidthe build-upof staticelectricityon yourbodyby notwearingclothing

madeof syntheticmaterials.Wearcottonor cotton-blend materialsas much
as possiblebecausethesedo not storestaticelectricchargesas muchas
synthetics.

3. Keepplastic,vinyl,and Styrofoammaterials(suchas plasticor Styrofoam

cups,cup holders,cigarettepackages,cellophanewrappers,vinylbooksor
folders,plasticbottles,and plasticashtrays)awayfromthe control,the
modules, andtheworkareaas muchas possible.

4. Do not removethe printedcircuitboard(PCB)fromthe controlcabinet

unlessabsolutelynecessary.lf you mustremovethe PCBfromthe control
cabinet,followtheseprecautions:

. Do nottouchany partofthe PCBexceptthe edges.

. Do nottouchthe electricalconductors.

. Whenreplacing a PCB,keepthe newPCBin the plasticantistatic

protectivebag it comesin untilyou are readyto installit. lmmediately
afterremovingthe old PCBfromthe controlcabinet,placeit in the

. A magnetic pickup(MPU),to sensethespeedof the primemover.
. A frequencyto vollageconverter,to convertMPUfrequencyto a voltagefor

. A speedreferenceto whichthe primemoverspeedis compared.(ldleand

Forcontrolswithactuatorcurrentof 20 to 160mA,minimumfuel is definedas:

. Actuatorcurrentof lessthan 10 mA for forward-acting

Forcontrolswilh actuatorcurrentof 40 to 320 mA, minimumfuel is definedas:
