Newson Gale Bond-Rite REMOTE EP Self-Testing Static Grounding Module

For process applications that require grounding for more than 6 hours per day, the Bond Rite REMOTE EP (Externally Powered) utilizes 220/240V AC or 110/120V AC mains supply to power the monitoring circuit of each indicator station.

The Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) Ground Monitoring Circuit is provided by the power supply which can be located in both the ‘hazardous’ and ‘non-hazardous’ areas, with the indicator stations mounted in the zoned (classified) area.

When used in conjunction with the Newson Gale Universal power supply, up to 10 Bond-Rite REMOTE EP indicator stations can be powered simultaneously. This enables users monitor up to 10 items of plant equipment at risk of charging (e.g. drums) independently of each other.

An additional advantage of this configuration is that the power supply itself can be installed within the hazardous area. For more detailed information please refer to the ATEX / IECEx or CSA technical specification PDFs of the Bond-Rite REMOTE EP.

Note: Self-Testing Static Grounding Module requires Power Supply Unit (SKU: NGERUPSAC)

Features

• Highly visible LED housed in wall mounted enclosure ensures operators know when a low resistance connection is achieved with potentially charged equipment
• Tungsten carbide teeth bite through product deposit build up, rust & drum coatings to ensure proper bonding connections
• Stainless steel 2 core clamps are designed to withstand use in tough chemical processing and industrial environments
• Quick Connect provides personnel with the flexibility of removing the clamp from the zoned or classified areas for battery replacement
• 10 ohms loop resistance monitoring is compliant with international Recommended Practice:
• IEC 60079-32 - Explosive atmospheres: electrostatic hazards, guidance
• NFPA 77 - Recommended Practice on Static Electricity
• Indicator station mounted stowage pin provides operators with a location to return the grounding clamp when the operation is finished
