Earth-Rite RTR

Static earthing protection for Road Tankers

The new IECEx / ATEX / SIL 2 certified Earth-Rite RTR is the most advanced system for protecting personnel and plant assets from static hazards during road tanker loading and unloading operations.

The Earth-Rite RTR utilises patented Tri-Mode Technology to provide safe and reliable grounding of the road tanker by ensuring:

  1. Positive and verified connection to a road tanker.Earth-Rite RTR

  2. Verified low resistance connection to true earth (ground).

  3. A continuously monitored tanker-earth connection of less than 10 ohms for the duration of the product transfer process.

When these parameters are confirmed, the RTR permits the transfer of product. Any static generated on the road tanker by the transfer process is immediately transferred to earth.

The Earth-Rite RTR operates with a Universal Grounding Clamp and does not require any special equipment to be installed on Road Tankers. It may be used with all common types of Bulk Tankers without any special modifications.

Product Features

 

Explosion Proof enclosure:

ATEX / FM appoved Universal Static Grounding clamp: 

All systems are supplied with a heavy duty X90-IP stainless steel grounding clamp containing a pair of hardened tungsten carbide tips capable of biting through hardened product deposits, rust and other inhibitors to gain a solid, low resistance electrical connection to the road tanker.

 

 

 

Heavy Duty grounding clamp with Hytrel cable, plus clamp stowage point included.

 
     
 

Attention grabbing LED indicators.

When a positive ground condition is established three green  LEDs pulse continuously throughout the transfer process.

This simple pulsing effect informs personnel that the system is continuously monitoring the condition of the ground connection.

When no ground connection is made a single red LED remains switched on.
 

Patented Tri-Mode Technology:

Ensures the system only goes permissive (permitting product transfer) when the three parameters required for safe grounding of the road tanker are confirmed.

This feature ensures the system cannot be activated by connection to parts of the road tanker not electrically continuous with the road tanker container or when the system does not detect a low resistance connection to true earth (ground).

 

    

System Options:

The Earth-Rite RTR can be supplied with a range of options that enhance the safety, installation and maintenance of Earth-Rite RTR systems:

  • Ex Strobe Light.
  • RTR Tester.
  • Installer's Kit.
  • Retractable Cable Reel.
  • Mode Selector Key Switch
