EGL-M6 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 (2) 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.
