61 35... Notes on ESD protection (Electro Static Discharge): Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L, 2015 BMW Alpina B7, 2015 BMW 750i, 2015 BMW 750Li, and 2015 BMW 740i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Electrical components which are particularly sensitive to electrostatic discharge (electronic control units, sensors, etc.) are marked with the ESD warning symbol.
E - Electro
S - Static
D - Discharge
Statically charged persons can discharge themselves when they touch electrical components.
IMPORTANT:
See 7060 ANTISTATIC MAT
NOTE:
Humans can only detect a discharge starting from a level of approx. 3000 V.
The danger threshold for electrical components already starts from a level of approx. 100 V.
Example:
Mechatronic control unit.
IMPORTANT:
Do not touch pins and multi-pin connectors directly!
Touch electrical components by their housings only.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damaging or destroying electrical components as a result of electrostatic discharge, it is absolutely essential to observe the following instructions:
- When replacing electrical components, leave the replacement components in their original packaging until immediately before they are to be installed
- If necessary, always return a removed component in its original packaging (always pack the component away immediately)
- Read and comply with user information on using the associated special tool 12 7 060
Personal protective equipment:
Electrically conducting clothing (high wool content, antistatic shoes required).
These can primarily be identified by the logo on the side.
