INSPECTION/CHECK
1 The bolts must go through the self-locking part of the self-locking nuts.
Rounded or chamfered ends must go not less than 1/32 in through the nuts.
2 When you install castellated nuts, the bolt hole for cotter pin must not be
more than 1/2 diameter above the nut.
3 When you use self-locking nuts a second time, make sure that their
gripping power is sufficient and the nuts will not loosen in service. Nuts which
loosen easily must be discarded. To know if the gripping power is sufficient,
turn the nut on the bolt until three threads are exposed. Attach a torque
wrench to the nut and loosen the nut. The gripping power must be more than
the minimum torque value specified in Table.

GROUND BRACKET
Connect the alligator clip ground probe of the Milliohmmeter to the nearest
ground bracket.
Put the probe at the test point to measure the related resistance.
When the test point is painted or has a different insulation, the probe must go
through this coating and touch the metal before you can read the value on
the Milliohmmeter.
The maximum resistance value must be less than the value in Table.

GENERAL
SET-UP
Make sure that the ESD workstation table is in perfect conditions for use.
Remove all items from the work area, such as paper, tape, Styrofoam cups
and clothing that can cause static electricity. Because these items are
insulators, static charges will not discharge even when these items are on a
grounded surface.
Make sure that the ESD bags are available to keep the ESDS modules
protected after they are removed from the cabinet.
ESD LABELS
1. Put on and adjust the GSE 014 until you get a direct contact with the skin. 1. Go back to the procedure of the related task.
Result:
The green (OK) LED (2) comes on. It indicates that the wrist strap and
ground cord assemblies operate correctly.
Note: If the red (no OK) LED (2) comes on, do a check of the GSE 014
assembly and replace it if necessary.
Do the integrity test again whenever you remove or replace the GSE 014.
Disconnect the plug of the ground cord from the GSE 015 (1).
3. Connect the plug of the ground cord to the aircraft ESD grounded point.
These points are identified with the ESD ground point symbol (Figure 2, part
“ESD Ground socket - Location”).
4. You are now safely grounded and can start your work.
Note: When you do the work with esds devices, make sure that the ground
connections are in good conditions.
5. When you remove/install or handle ESDS devices, you must use correct
ESD protective packaging to keep or send these devices.
