EGL Grounding Indicator with Automatic
Pump Control and Ground Verification System
Installation & Maintenance Information
APPLICATION
EGL Grounding Indicators are to be permanently mounted in a secure
location adjacent to loading/unloading area. EGL Grounding Indicators
are connected to tank vehicles, drums, or other containers before
beginning transfer of combustible materials. While connected, the EGL
grounds static electricity and continuously verifies the presence of a static
grounding system. The EGL can be installed to actuate remote devices
(lights, horns) to announce that a safe static ground has been
established, or to send an alarm when the ground is interrupted. An EGL
Grounding Indicator is recommended to be used in the control circuit of a
pump to prevent it from being started until the static grounding circuit is
completed, and to shut down the pump automatically if the static
grounding circuit is disconnected.
INSTALLATION
To provide protection against fire or shock hazard, the electrical
power must be OFF before and during installation and
maintenance.
To ensure proper operation of the EGL210, two separate ground
leads from the electrical supply panel must be provided: one to
terminal #3 and the other to the green ground lug on the
enclosure interior. This provides a continuity check to verify the
EGL210 is grounded.
