The Earth-Rite MULTIPOINT is a static earthing system which simultaneously monitors up to 8 potentially isolated conductive components on processing machinery engaged in powder processing operations within Ex areas.
The Earth-Rite MULTIPOINT is specified for the following applications:
- dust collection
- powder grinding and pulverising
- powder conveying operations
- filling and emptying silos and containers
- fluid bed drying
- powder mixing and blending
If the system detects a connection resistance above 10 ohms at each monitored static earthing point, the LED array situated in the stainless steel enclosure will identify the location of the potentially isolated part. The interlocking output contact can interface with PLCs to halt the process or alert personnel to the potential hazard. Benefits:
- Monitors up to 8 potentially isolated points.
- LED array pinpoints locations that are potentially isolated and at risk of accumulating incendive electrostatic charges.
- Corrosion resistant and hygienic stainless steel.
- Power Supply Unit/I.S. Interface Module (for safe area installation).
