Operational Procedures: CRT Disposal

Many older monitors you may find in the field are CRT monitors. These older monitors look like old televisions. These monitors tend to be very heavy, with 30” or larger models weighing nearly a hundred pounds. It is important to remember your lifting rules before moving these monitors. Most people are upgrading these old monitors to LCD or LED models, since they offer better picture quality and are much lighter. Many locations have special disposal rules for these devices. Many localities have a requirement to recycle monitors at a central waste facility. Finally, these monitors use capacitors to perform their functions. You must be careful not to open these monitors, as they can have 10,000-20,000 volts of potential voltage, even when they have been unplugged for long periods of time.

您可能在現場發現的許多較舊的顯示器都是CRT顯示器。這些較舊的監視器看起來像舊電視。這些監視器往往非常重，具有30英寸或更大的型號，重近一百磅。在移動這些顯示器之前，請記住您的舉升規則，這一點很重要。大多數人都將這些舊顯示器升級為LCD或LED型號，因為它們提供了更好的圖像質量並且更輕。許多位置對於這些設備都有特殊的處置規則。許多地方都要求在中央廢物處理設施回收監測器。最後，這些監視器使用電容器來執行其功能。您必須小心不要打開這些顯示器，因為它們可能具有10,000-20,000伏的潛在電壓，即使長時間拔下電源也是如此。
