of the S20 & R10 AIS MOB units. 

1.2 Servicing equipment: 

The following tools and equipment are required to carry out the 
servicing detailed in this manual.

 

Only authorised and trained 

people are allowed to perform maintenance & service on these products. We advise it is 
good practice that records of any maintenance or service performed are maintained.

 

Equipment:

Hand tools: 

Calibrated torque driver with attachments: 60 cNm 

Small cross-headed screwdriver (No. 1 Pozidrive) 

1.3 Antistatic precautions:

 

The electronics section of the product is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) which can 
cause Immediate or hidden long term damage. It is important that the PCB is only handled 
under suitable Antistatic conditions. 

A fully grounded workstation, which has conductive surfaces to avoid the build-up of static 
charge, should be used. 

As a minimum, the operator must be connected to a good earth point through a resistance 
of 1MOhm. This is usually achieved by wearing a suitable wrist strap. 

1.4 Safety notices: 

The product has been assessed as presenting negligible hazard in a sealed serviceable state.
