Grounding Control Device
EKX-4
2-pole
Specialized version for containers, IBCs and barrels
EKX-4
DO YOU FILL OR EMPTY CONTAINERS, IBCS OR BARRELS IN HAZARDOUS AREAS?
The danger of electrostatic charges must always be observed when loading, unloading or handling bulk solids or inflammable liquids in the petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, as well as in the food and feed industry.
TIMM’s Grounding Control Device EKX-4 (2-pole) ensures that static electricity is safely discharged to the ground. Only if the connected object is detected and grounded properly, the filling release will be signaled by green LEDs and the control outputs will switch. If there are any breaks in the grounding connection, the filling will be interrupted immediately.
BENEFITS
- Opening of the housing during operation in gas hazardous areas is allowed
- Automatic diagnosis system self-monitors all safety-related functions continuously
- NAMUR-compatible Ex i control output
- Safe loading and unloading of containers, drums, and similar vessels
- For loading of bulk materials and flammable liquids
- For use in gas and dust hazardous areas of zone 1 (equipment category II 2 G) and 21 (II 2 D)
- Controlled derivation of the static electricity
- Immediate interruption of the loading operation when unsafe grounding connection consists
- According to all currently relevant EMC and ATEX directives
- Immediately fully operational due to factory set release limits
- Continuous self-monitoring of the redundant output signal
- Additional control output
- Multicolored LED-display to indicate the operating status and failure diagnosis
- Extremely sturdy housing, especially resistant to chemicals and other environmental influences
