Earth-Rite RTR Static Grunding fr Tank Trucks IECEx SIL 2 Precisin and reliability is what the Earth-Rite RTR prvides t HAZLOC safety prfessinals and engineers wh are tasked with prtecting persnnel and plant assets frm the ignitin hazards f static electricity during tank truck lading and unlading peratins. Inquiry > Click here t submit a prduct related query r a request fr qutatin. The lading and unlading f tank trucks with large quantities f chemicals and pwders generates static electricity which, if left t accumulate n a tank truck, culd discharge electrstatic sparks with energies far in excess f the minimum ignitin energies f a vast range f cmbustible gases, vapurs and dusts. The ignitin f such atmspheres by static electricity can be prevented by ensuring the tank truck is grunded. Grunding ensures there can be n build f static electricity n the tank and chassis f the tank truck and the mst reliable way f grunding yur tank trucks is t specify an Earth-Rite RTR. With ver 3,000 units in the field the 2nd generatin Earth-Rite RTR is the mst reliable and precise methd f grunding tank trucks tday. The Earth-Rite RTR utilises patented electrnics called Tri-Mde technlgy (next page) t establish three key inputs that must be in place befre the lading/unlading peratin can cmmence. When the three key inputs are met, nly then will the Earth-Rite RTR g permissive and energise its pair f dry changever cntacts t engage the pump, r whatever equipment is interlcked with the system, t cntrl the flw f prduct t r frm the tank truck. Any static generated by the lading peratin is transferred frm the tank truck via the Earth-Rite RTR t grund, eliminating static electricity as a ptential surce f ignitin. Earth-Rite RTR Rad Tanker Grunding System The Earth-Rite RTR includes: > Explsin Prf Cntrl Enclsure incrprating Intrinsically Safe Static Grund Mnitring Electrnics. > Grund Cnnectin Junctin Bx with Clamp Stwage Pint and Quick Release Cnnectr. > Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Universal Grunding Clamp with Hytrel Extendable Cable and Quick Cnnectrs.

Tri-Mde Technlgy GREEN LIGHT Tri-Mde checks cmplete RTR permits prduct transfer MODE 1 Tank Truck Recgnitin In accrdance with the recmmendatins f IEC 60079-32-1*, the Earth-Rite RTR determines if the grunding clamp is cnnected t a tank truck. This ensures the clamp is cnnected t the main bdy f the tank truck and cannt be bypassed by cnnecting the clamp t the lading rack. MODE 2 Static Grund Verificatin The Earth-Rite RTR ensures that it has a cnnectin t the general mass f the earth. This is a critical input as a cnnectin t earth is the nly means by which the static electricity can be transferred frm the tank truck, preventing the accumulatin f static electricity. MODE 3 Cntinuus Grund Lp Mnitring In accrdance with the key recmmendatins f IEC 60079-32-1* and NFPA 77*, the Earth-Rite RTR ensures the resistance between the tank truck and the verified grunding pint at the lading rack never exceeds 10 hms. The Earth-Rite RTR achieves this by mnitring the resistance between the RTR clamp s cnnectin t the tank truck and the RTR s cnnectin t the verified grunding pint fr the duratin f the transfer peratin. *IEC 60079-32-1, Explsive atmspheres: electrstatic hazards, guidance *NFPA 77, Recmmended Practice n Static Electricity. Cmpliant with IEC 60079-32-1 & NFPA 77 Operatr friendly interface Cntrl / Interlck capability (Tw dry utput cntacts) Wide perating temperature range Detachable Clamp & Cable Universally Apprved Enclsure The mnitring set-pint f 10 hms resistance is cmpliant with the standards fr static cntrl in hazardus areas: IEC 60079-32-1 & NFPA77. Simple GO / NO GO indicatin infrms peratr when the rad tanker is cnnected t grund. When a psitive grund cnnectin is made the pulsing hi-visibility indicatrs are activated during the MODE 3 Cntinuus Grund Lp Mnitring stage. The first utput cntact can be used t interlck with flw cntrl devices (e.g. pumps, valves, PLCs) t ensure prduct cannt flw unless the RTR has established a grund path fr the tanker truck. The secnd utput cntact can perate attentin grabbing devices (e.g. strbe lights) t warn persnnel that a hazardus prduct transfer is underway. The RTR system can perate in extreme weather cnditins withut mdificatins r enhanced prtectin: -40 F t +122 F.
