1. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) - Standard Practices

A. General
(1) This task gives the procedure for handling electronic components or systems ESD
susceptible.

(2) Electrostatic protection shall be maintained at a potential above a "zero" voltage ground
potential as long as all items in the system are at the same potential. For this, all conductors
in the environment, including personnel, shall be bonded or electrically connected and
attached to a known ground or contrived ground (as on aircraft). This task gives the

SUBTASK 940-001-A
(1) Make sure that the ESD workstation table is in perfect conditions for use.

(2) Remove all items from the work area, such as paper, tape, styrofoam cups and
clothing that can cause static electricity. Because these items are insulators, static
charges will not discharge even when these items are on a grounded surface.

(3) Make sure that the ESD bags are available to keep the ESDS modules protected after
they are removed from the cabinet.
NOTE: All ESDS devices are identified with the ESD symbol (Figure 201).

SUBTASK 710-001-A (Figure 202)
(1) Put on and adjust the GSE 014 until you get a direct contact with the skin (5).

(2) Do the grounding integrity test of the GSE 014 as follows:

(a) Connect the ground cord (4) to the wrist strap (5).
(b) Connect the plug of the ground cord to the GSE 015 (1).
(c) Press the test button (3) for 2-3 seconds.

Result:
1 The green (OK) LED (2) comes on. It indicates that the wrist strap and
ground cord assemblies operate correctly.

NOTE: • If the red (no OK) LED (2) comes on, do a check of the GSE
014 assembly and replace it if necessary.

• Do the integrity test again whenever you remove or replace

the GSE 014.

(d) Disconnect the plug of the ground cord from the GSE 015 (1).

(3) Connect the plug of the ground cord to the aircraft ESD grounded point. These points
are identified with the ESD ground point symbol (Figure 203).

(4) You are now safely grounded and can start your work.
NOTE: When you do the work with ESDS devices, make sure that the ground

SUBTASK 910-002-A
(5) When you remove/install or handle ESDS devices, you must use correct ESD
protective packaging to keep or send these devices.

(6) Use the GSE 203 to keep or send LRMs.
