HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES SUBJECT TO DAMAGE BY STATIC ELECTRICITYPlace instrument or module to be serviced, spare parts in conductive (anti-static) envelopes or carriers, hand tools etc. on a work surface defined as follows. The work surface must be conductive and reliably connected to earth ground through a safety resistance of approximately 250 kilohms. The sur-face must NOT be metal. (A resistivity of 30 to 300 kilohms per square inch is suggested.) Avoid placing tools or electri-cal parts on insulators.

Ground the frame of any line-powered equipment, test instru-ments, lamps, soldering irons, etc., directly to earth ground. To avoid shorting out the safety resistance, be sure that grounded equipment has rubber feet or other means of insu-lation from the work surface. The module being serviced should be insulated while grounded through the power-cord ground wire, but must be connected to the work surface before, during and after any disassembly or other procedure in which the line cord is disconnected.

Exclude any hand tools (such as non-conductive plunger-type solder suckers) that can generate a static charge.

Ground yourself reliably, through a resistance, to the work surface; use, for example, a conductive strap or cable with a wrist cuff. The cuff must make electrical contact directly with your skin; do NOT wear it over clothing. (Resistance

between skin contact and work surface through a commer-cially available personnel grounding device is typically 250 kilohms to 1 megohm.)

If any circuit or IC packages are to be stored or transported, enclose them in conductive envelopes or carriers. Remove them only with the above precautions; handle IC packages without touching the contact pins.

Avoid circumstances that are likely to produce static charges, such as wearing clothes of synthetic material, sitting on a plastic-covered stool (particularly while wearing wool), comb-ing your hair, or making extensive erasures. These circum-stances are most significant when the air is dry.

When testing static sensitive devices, be sure DC power is on before, during, and after application of test signals. Be sure all pertinent voltages have been switched off while boards or components are removed or inserted.

Site Preparation Overview

Site Planning Before System Delivery

Proper site planning before receiving your system is the key to a smooth installation as well as efficient production flow during operation. Major considerations include space, weight,

environmental, power, vacuum, and cooling requirements, as well as delivery routing. Figure 1-1 shows a typical system. If you require site planning assistance, contact the Teradyne Technical Support Center using the information in the Technical Support Center of Using This Manual.

Figure1-1 TestStation SE

TestStation SE™ Site Preparation Guide 1 - 1

Site Preparation Overview

Site Planning Requirements

The following sections provide an overview of the requirements related to the site planning process.

Location

In a busy production environment, place the tester near the main flow of boards in the assembly line. Also, locate the board repair and fixture storage areas nearby. In a low-to-medium production environment, provide ample room for carts containing board boxes.

Locate your tester within 10 feet of a source of AC power. AC power cords for all testers are 15 feet long and are provided with power source connectors.

Note:

European power source connectors are not provided for European

installations. Make connections according to country and local electrical codes.

Space Requirements

Provide adequate space for the placement and servicing of the system and peripherals. In

addition, consider space requirements for operating personnel, tables, chairs, and storage areas (for such things as test fixtures and paper) and sufficient space for adequate ventilation of the system components. See Chapter 2.

Weight Requirements

System weight, as well as the weight of peripheral equipment and other items positioned in the same general area, must be considered. The floor loading capacity must be sufficient to support the weight involved. Most industrial plant floors support weights of 50 psf (2.4 kPa) or more, which is normally adequate for this type of equipment. If you have a question as to whether the floor loading capacity or structural considerations are adequate, consult a qualified structural engineer before delivery. See Chapter 2.

Environmental Requirements

A room with an air distribution system that provides cool, well-filtered humidified air is ideal for this system. Air pressure within the room should be maintained at a higher level than the air pressure of adjacent areas to prevent dust infiltration. While this system does not require an absolute clean-room environment, cleanliness and freedom from excessive heat and dust should always be a prime consideration to reduce the possibility of equipment failure caused by heat and dust build-up. Maintain the temperature and humidity specifications for the system and its peripheral equipment within safe operating levels at all times. See Chapter 2, System Requirements.

1 - 2 TestStation SE™ Site Preparation Guide

Site Preparation Overview

Power Requirements

Provide input power and grounding requirements before system installation. Sufficient AC power must be available for all equipment. A separate earth safety ground connection is also required for this system. Electrical conduit is not considered an acceptable separate earth ground path;

however, water pipes or other known good earth ground paths may sometimes be used. Locate fuse or circuit-breaker-protected AC outlets and safety ground connections as close to the system as possible in order to keep cable runs short. See Chapter 2, System Requirements.

Note:

In locations outside of the United States, you must adjust the line conditioner transformer to the local AC line voltage. The transformer has taps to

accommodate incoming voltages between 100 and 240 VAC for TestStationSE.

Vacuum Requirements

Vacuum is required for system operation. Vacuum serves two functions: it mates the test fixture with the system’s receiver and mates the unit under test to the test fixture. The customer is responsible for providing and connecting AC input power to the vacuum pump motor and connecting the vacuum fittings from the pump to the system’s vacuum port on the rear of the power bay. See Chapter 2, System Requirements and Chapter 4, Additional Site Requirements.

Cooling Requirements

The site cooling plant must be able to compensate for the heat produced when the system is in operation. The heat produced by the system, and any attached peripherals, is computed based upon the amount of current required by the system and its peripherals. See Chapter 2, System Requirements.

Delivery Routing

Before the system is delivered, determine the route that the system crates will travel from the receiving area to the installation site. Develop a routing plan to cope with such problems as bends or obstructions in hallways, elevator size, and weight limitations. Advance planning to eliminate obstructions along the delivery route can save valuable time during installation.

Teradyne recommends that the crated system be moved from your receiving area to the system’s installation site (see Table2-1 on page2-1 for dimensions). Standard practice is that Teradyne’s installer uncrates the system at its installation site. You must provide a minimum distance of 12 ft (3.66 m) to the right side of the fork lift entry for uncrating space at the installation site.

Board Assignment

If you plan to use a fixture on several testers, establish a standard hardware configuration for all testers so that fixtures and programs are compatible when transported from location to location. In particular, standardize the locations you choose for the various boards which are installed in the test head cage.

System Requirements

This chapter describes the space and weight; environmental; input power; and cooling requirements in addition to site considerations for peripheral equipment and test fixture procurement.

Space and Weight Requirements

The shipping information in Table2-1 is for the crated system and optional equipment. For space planning purposes, Table2-2 on page2-2 lists the uncrated dimensions and weight for the system and optional peripheral equipment. Figure2-1 shows system space requirements. When planning space requirements for the system and its optional peripherals: •

Allow sufficient room around the system and its peripherals for access by operation and service personnel. Sufficient room is considered 40 in. (101.6 cm) between each side of the system and the nearest wall or any other obstacle.

If systems are located adjacent to each other, make certain that proper air space separates them to prevent the exhaust air of one system from being drawn into the other system.Do not block the air vents that are located on all four corners of the system.

Safety Considerations in Site Planning

This chapter contains considerations in site planning relating to the safety of both personnel and the equipment.

System Grounding

A separate (10 ft [3 m]) safety-ground wire is supplied with the system and must be connected from the system’s ground lug to a known earth ground. Methods of grounding the system are:••

Connection to a water pipe or known earth ground.

Connection to a ground stake, which is a long steel rod is placed in a hole drilled through the floor into the ground below. Install according to country and local electrical codes. Do not block the air vents that are located on all four corners of the system.

Fire Precautions

Take all necessary precautions against fire. Store permanent documents, tape cartridges, and spare parts, etc in a fire-proof area. Overhead sprinklers can be used if the water heads are not directed at the equipment. Additionally, sprinkler heads should not be located directly over the system or its fan intake/exhaust path. Locate wall-mounted CO2 (carbon dioxide) fire extinguishers within easy reach of the system.

Personnel Safety Considerations

Facility personnel (especially operators) should be familiar with the emergency power shut-down procedure and with how to notify the fire department. Preparedness might well result in saving expensive equipment.

An operator is adequately protected from electrical shock. Nevertheless, personnel trained in first aid for electrical shock and burns should be always available.

Unauthorized personnel should not remove any of the system’s panels, which are provided for system cooling and protection of the electronics. Review the instruction manuals for precautions needed to assure safe operation.

Additional Site Requirements

Vacuum System Design

When designing a vacuum system, you must consider the following factors:•••••

Environmental requirements

Type of installation which is appropriate to your systemPipe size for your system

Type of valves and their placementGauge placement

Planning the design can make the difference between an efficient vacuum system which is easy to maintain and a marginally serviceable one. Review this section to understand the full scope of incorporating a vacuum supply system into your factory environment.

Environmental Requirements

If you are using Teradyne-supplied portable pumps, plan the location of your pumps carefully to make sure that the following requirements are met:••••

One foot of air space in all directions from walls or any obstructions to allow cool air to flow.A level surface for pump to rest on rubber feet or wheels.Operating Temperature: 0° – 50° C (32°-122° F).Relative Humidity: 20% – 70%, non-condensing.

Vacuum System Sources

Your vacuum source defines the type of installation necessary for your tester. There are three types of vacuum sources: local, remote, and central. When instating, allow free access for maintenance, as well as adequate ventilation.

TestStation SE™ Site Preparation Guide 4 - 1

Additional Site Requirements

Local

If only limited space is available at the site (single-system site) or if the site is temporary, use a local source close to your tester. Figure4-1 shows how to connect vacuum from a local location to your tester.

Additional Site Requirements

Remote

A remote vacuum source is located away from the tester in an equipment room. Such a source reduces noise and clutter, keeps the air clean, and minimizes power outlet requirements near the tester. Figure4-2 shows how to connect vacuum from a remote location to your tester.

Additional Site Requirements

Central

A central vacuum source, located away from the tester, supplies vacuum to more than one piece of equipment. The central source is appropriate if you plan to install other systems or equipment requiring vacuum, or if the size of your facility requires more than one pump. Situating all the pumps in one area adds to the ease of maintenance. Figure4-3 shows how to connect vacuum from a central location to your tester.

Additional Site Requirements

Pipe Selection

The size of the pipe is critical in the design of a good remote or central vacuum system. When the overall length of piping is too long and the diameter of the pipe is too small relative to the whole vacuum system, the conductance of a pipe (its resistance to flow) is affected. The piping throttles the flow, restricting the pump so that its full capacity cannot be delivered to each test station.For remote and central vacuum (multiple-outlet) systems, use the minimum pipe diameters recommended in Table4-1.

Table 4-1 Minimum Pipe Diameter for Remote/Central Systems

*CFM= cubic feet per minute

You can install pipes with diameters which exceed the minimum standards presented in Table4-1. By choosing a large pipe diameter, you increase the total volume of the system to be pumped down; the piping system thereby becomes a vacuum reservoir, which stabilizes the vacuum pump and improves the response at each station. If the same pump supplies vacuum to more than one tester or to other equipment, consider having a vacuum reservoir at your facility.

Schedule 40 PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipe is recommended for almost every vacuum application.

Note:

Schedule 80 pipe may be required for: Exposed lines at floor level, lines of 6-inches in diameter or greater, or applications with ambient temperatures greater than 120 °F.

The low cost-per-linear-foot of PVC pipe in large diameters, combined with its ease of installation and proper sealing of joints, makes it ideal for most systems. Tees, ball valves, elbows, pipe plugs and other fittings are readily available in PVC piping, and they add to the ease of assembling the vacuum system.

TestStation SE™ Site Preparation Guide 4 - 5

Additional Site Requirements

Valve Selection and Placement

Valve selection and placement determine the versatility of a system and the ease with which you can maintain, troubleshoot, and service equipment on the system.

Ball valves and globe valves provide the best control since they are essentially leak-tight in a vacuum plumbing system.

Plan for the acquisition and placement of the following:••

Valves with ports approximately equal to line sizeIsolation and control valves

The valves should have ports approximately equal to the size of the line in which they are installed so that no significant pressure drop occurs across the valve.

PVC true union-type ball valves meet the above requirements and come in sizes up to 6 inches in diameter. They are available through local plastic pipe and supply houses.

Isolation and Control Valves

Working from the pump end of the system, insert a pneumatic or electrically operated PVC ball valve in the line to isolate the individual pumps from each other and the main header or common manifold.

In multiple pump systems, each pump should have an automatic ball valve to isolate it from the main line or common manifold so that these valves can automatically close to isolate the pump if the pump should fail while the rest of the system is still in operation and under vacuum.

A manual ball valve should be inserted in line between the pumping system and the main header.Most supply houses offer pneumatic or electrically-operated PVC ball valves. These positive-acting valves are recommended over the standard spring-actuated or flapper-check valve,

because they make sure that fluid in the pumping system is not drawn into the vacuum pump and that the vacuum pump is not throttled by the smaller orifices usually found in check valves. Using individual ball valves at each remote vacuum station permits isolation of a particular station from the total system. When a problem develops, these valves allow you to disconnect the station from the central system. An additional advantage of having a ball or globe valve at each station is its ability to provide vacuum control for each operating unit.

Gauges

Vacuum gauges help ensure optimal system performance.

In the ATE industry, vacuum levels rarely exceed 28 in. Hg, and many units can operate in such ranges as 15-20 in. Hg. In the latter case, the simplest vacuum gauges allow reasonably good control of the system. One gauge of higher accuracy (a capsule or Bourdon type) should serve as a standard to check other gauges.

4 - 6 TestStation SE™ Site Preparation Guide

Additional Site Requirements

Gauge layout in a remote or central system can take the form of a series of 1/2-in. or 1/4-in. NPT pipe plugs placed at strategic locations throughout the system for use as gauge ports. These ports, usually placed on either side of a control valve, enable you to use a minimum number of gauges to take readings at various points and then move them other ports in the system. Gauge ports should also be installed at the vacuum source for troubleshooting purposes and at any test station that does not have a built-in gauge on the equipment to ensure proper vacuum operating levels.

Modem Requirements

A telephone line must be available if you purchased a modem. Teradyne recommends a standard direct line in and out of the building. If a direct line is not available, certain conditions must be considered. If a PBX system is used, the PBX must be programmed for both data and voice if a phone is to be used with both.

A telephone jack needs to be installed on the phone line. A standard RJ11C modular telephone jack (normally used for office and residential phones) is recommended. Teradyne recommends that you have one phone line for each system. Cable routing must take into consideration in an environment that provides the best possible clean and noise-free atmosphere; for example, do not route a cable near a 3-phase, 400-V power cable.

Fixture Storage

CAUTION

Store test fixtures carefully to prevent possible damage or corrosion to their electrical contacts.

Place a fixture storage rack (on wheels) near the system for fast and easy access to system test fixtures.

Circuit-board Storage Racks

Circuit-board storage racks (on wheels) facilitate test system throughput. Placing a rack of

untested boards on one side of the operator and a rack of tested boards on the other side of the operator provides an efficient manner of handling circuit boards. An additional rack for defective boards can also be useful. In addition, the racks permit easy movement of circuit boards to and from the system within the production area.

CAUTION

Never place circuit boards on the surface of the test system. If you desire, place an ESD mat on the surface.

Telephone Installation

It is suggested that a telephone for in-plant use be available on or near the system. This enables the operator to contact supervisory personnel in production, test engineering, and application engineering when necessary.

Install a bulletin board near the system for posting messages.Obtain static-avoidance equipment.Keep spare nails available for test fixtures.

Provide space in your facility for storing printer-paper.

Provide a portable vacuum cleaner (with non-metallic bristle-brush fitting on end of hose) for cleaning the top of the fixture before the start of board testing.

Keep a maintenance log, particularly for preventive maintenance. Secure all maintenance documentation, including the documentation for peripheral items, so that certain supply items and options can be obtained and preventive maintenance schedules are available when needed. The Maintenance Manual contains a series of blank site-status logging forms.Consult Teradyne about a maintenance contract and other services.
