WARNING DELICATE ELECTRICS / ELECTRONICS
Beware of STATIC ELECTRICITY on HANDS & TOOLS
HANDLE ALL ITEMS WITH EXTREME CARE
DCC, ELECTRICAL and ELECTRONIC COMPONENT HANDLING
These COMPONENTS
contain delicate electrics / electronic components. Please read the
installation instructions very carefully – Several times.
If in any doubt
please contact your Local Electronics Expert.
Ensure that you
use the correct power supply.
Incorrect
installation will cause instant failure and possible short-circuiting.
DELICATE AND THIN WIRES
SOME WIRES ARE
VERY DELICATE AND ARE FINE BEING COATED WITH INSULATION THAT WILL CRACK AND
FRACTURE IF BENT, TWISTED OR MISHANDLED IN ANY WAY - THIS WILL CAUSE A SHORT
CIRCUIT & PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT AND OTHER ITEMS WITHIN THE
CIRCUIT. ANY COILED WIRES MUST BE UNCOILED VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION
TO AVOID DAMEGE TO THE INSULATION – PULLING WILL CAUSE TWISTING AND FRACUTUE.
DO NOT USE ANY METAL OBJECT TO UNCOIL THE FINE WIRES!!!!

STATIC ELECTRICITY
Static
electricity refers to the build up of electric charge on the surface of
objects. The static charges remain on an object until they either bleed off to
ground or are quickly neutralized by a discharge.
Although charge
exchange can happen whenever any two surfaces come into contact and separate, a
static charge will only remain when at least one of the surfaces has a high
resistance to electrical flow (an electrical insulator).
The effects of
static electricity are familiar to most people because we can see, feel and
even hear the spark as the excess charge is neutralized when brought close to a
large electrical conductor (for example a path to ground), or a region with an
excess charge of the opposite polarity (positive or negative). The familiar
phenomenon of a static 'shock' is caused by the neutralization of charge.
Static
electricity can reside in people, clothing or tools etc.
The static
electricity must be discharged to EARTH before handling any delicate electronic
components or computer components.
Use of Magnetic
tools OR METAL OBJECTS should be avoided at all times.

CIRCUIT BOARD HANDLING
HANDLING CIRCUIT
BOARDS – DO NOT TOUCH THE UPPER OR LOWER FACES OF A CIRCUIT BOARD – FINGERS AND
TOOLS CONTAIN STATIC ELECTRICITY WHICH WILL BLOW THE COMPONENTS AND THEY WILL
NOT WORK.
HOLD BY THE OUTER
EDGES AWAY FROM ANY ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.
A CLEAN
ENVIRONMENT IS REQUIRED.
THE LAYOUT - WIRE COLOUR CODING
Before commencing any
wiring you must decide on a wiring colour code for your layout
If you do not you will
get into a right mess !!! DON’T MIX
COLOURS across the layout !!
