When the sensor housing is open, e.g. when connecting or changing the battery pack, sufficient
ESD protection must be ensured.
Do not touch PCBs and electrical components.
Before removing the plastic case, touch the grounded metal part of the case, or an alternative
adjacent grounded metal object (e.g. radiator or pipes), in order to discharge any static from the
