Charge (ESD) Precautions
NOTE: Discharge body’s static electricity before touching
unit. An electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electri
-
cal components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation and
servicing to protect the integrated control module from dam-
age. By putting the furnace, the control, and the person at
the same electrostatic potential, these steps will help avoid
exposing the integrated control module to electrostatic dis-
charge. This procedure is applicable to both installed and
uninstalled (ungrounded) furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the
integrated control module or any wire connected to
the control prior to discharging your body’s electro-
static charge to ground.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnace near the control. Any tools held in a person’s
hand during grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wir-
ing following the discharge process in Step 2. Use
caution not to recharge your body with static electrici-
ty; (i.e., do not move or shuffle your feet, do not touch
ungrounded objects, etc.). If you come in contact with
an ungrounded object, repeat Step 2 before touching
control or wires.
4. Discharge any static electricity from your body to
ground before removing a new control from its con-
tainer. Follow Steps 1 through 3 if installing the control
on a furnace. Return any old or new controls to their
containers before touching any ungrounded object.
