New IECEx, ATEX and SIL 2 certified static Grounding Systems from Newson Gale

Newson Gale is pleased to announce the release of the next generation of ATEX, IECEx and SIL2 certified Earth-Rite® hazardous area static grounding systems. 

This next generation incorporates newly developed monitoring electronics and a new operator interface that are situated in a modern and universally approved IIC explosion proof enclosure.

The patented Earth-Rite RTR provides operators with automatic and failsafe static ground verification and tanker truck recognition checks, ensuring product transfers cannot take place unless these parameters are tested and verified. 

The Earth-Rite PLUS provides protection for all conductive (metal) items, including drums, vessels, IBCs, mobile tanks and railcars.

The new static earth monitoring electronics, which are housed in a modern and robust IIC Ex d enclosure, have a certified operating temperature range of -40°C to + 55°C permitting the systems to be installed in the harshest operating environmental conditions without any additional environmental protection or modification.

Both systems include a pair of voltage free contacts that engage only when the resistance to ground is tested and verified to be less than 10 ohms, a feature which enables customers and specifiers demonstrate compliance with globally recognised standards for static control, including Cenelec CLC/TR:50404 and NFPA 77.
