Title: 1st time Discharging Monitor...Do i have it right?
Post by: mamerocks87 on December 28, 2006, 06:46:37 pm

Ok i am attempting to discharge my first monitor. I have a screw driver with an aligator clip to it wired to another alligator clip that is on the frame of the monitor. Do i simply tuck it under the anode? Is it ok if my chassis is not bolted down to my frame? It is just sitting on it. Take  a look at my picture and tell me if i got this right. Thanks,

Yes that will work. Just be sure the power to the monitor is unplugged.
