Can static electricity damage my ANKOM RF Gas Production System?

Yes, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause the flash programming of the XBee chips in your #RF1, RF1X, #RF5, and RF5X modules to become corrupted and stop communicating with the RF GPM software. 

Therefore, we highly recommend using an ANKOM Anti-Static Wrist Strap (Part #: RF50) when plugging or unplugging the rechargeable battery packs (Part #: RF16 or #RF46) in your modules.
