Bond-Rite® REMOTE
The precision and reliability of the Bond-Rite® REMOTE provides enhanced safety and security by continuously testing the connection of the clamp to the container or other conductive item of plant in a complete loop made through the designated grounding point.
The Bond-Rite REMOTE indicator station houses the ground loop monitoring circuit and a bright green LED which pulses continuously when it detects that the resistance between the equipment to be grounded and the site’s verified earth ground (e.g. copper tape) is 10 ohms or less.
Once connected the Bond-Rite REMOTE continuously monitors the resistance of the circuit between the equipment and the verified ground point (e.g. wall-mounted bus bar).
The pulsing green LED provides process operators with a continuous visual reference point that enables them to monitor the ground status of equipment at risk of accumulating static electricity and discharging static sparks.
The standard GRP enclosure is static dissipative and suitable for general processing environments. The stainless steel enclosure (SS 316) is designed to cater for hygienic or corrosive environment specifications.
Both enclosures provide an IP 66 degree of ingress protection and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation.
The Bond-Rite REMOTE can be powered with an intrinsically safe 9V battery (included) or an external 230/115 V AC power supply which can power up to 10 individual indicator stations.
The Bond-Rite REMOTE is an ideal solution for applications and installations where interlocks with the process are not possible.
Typical Applications
- Filling and dispensing to/from metal containers, including drums, waste drums, mixing vessels.
- Grounding equipment used in mixing and blending operations.
Benefits
Highly visible LED
Housed in wall mounted enclosure ensures operators know when a low resistance connection is achieved with potentially charged equipment.
Tungsten carbide tips
Bite through product deposit build up, rust & drum coatings to ensure proper bonding connections are made.
Stainless steel 2 core clamps
Designed to withstand use in tough chemical processing and industrial environments.
Quick Connect
Provides personnel with the flexibility of removing the clamp from the zoned / classified areas for battery replacement.
10 ohms loop resistance monitoring
Monitoring compliant with international Recommended Practice*.
*IEC 60079-32, “Explosive atmospheres: electrostatic hazards, guidance”.
*NFPA 77, “Recommended Practice on Static Electricity”.
Indicator station mounted stowage pin provides operators with a location to return the grounding clamp when the operation is finished.
