Model TR-7
Safe-T-Ground provides continuous monitoring
of a truck's ground connection throughout loading operations.
Static electricity is often brought in by tank trucks entering
the loading area. The Safe-T-Ground Model TR-7 instantly
stops loading operations if a tank truck loses its ground.
The simple but rugged Model TR-7 circuit continuously measures
resistance through the truck by applying a small voltage
to one terminal of the truck grounding contactor. The other
terminal is connected to the loading rack ground. If the
Safe-T-Ground detects a resistance of more than a few ohms
across the contact terminals, the relay opens, breaking
the control circuit. The relay will not close until the
grounding contactor is properly connected.
To safeguard loading operations, the Safe-T-Ground
circuit can be wired into your pump control - and to an
audible alarm or signal light.
The double wire TR-7 system provides an extra
safeguard against explosion, compared to single wire grounding,
which cannot measure the quality of the electrical ground
connection durring loading. The transistorized TR-7 circiut
generates little heat - an added safety feature.
The Model TR-7 Safe-T-Ground is simple and
easy to install. Removal of the cover on the explosion-proof
aluminum housing reveals the easily accessable terminal
strip for relay and ground control wiring, and a complete
schematic wiring diagram appears on a label next to the
terminal strip for easy wiring. Coiled grounding cable/contactor-handle
assembly is easily replaced via mil-spec connector on housing.
