3.
When the grounding clamp is connected to a dispensing or receiving vessel and
the ground circuit is completed, auxiliary contacts between terminal block positions
4 and 6, and 7 and 9 will be OPEN. Contacts between terminal block positions 4
and 5, and 7 and 8 will be CLOSED. Remote signals connected between terminal
block positions 4 and 5, and 7 and 8 will indicate completion of the grounding
circuit. Signals connected between terminal block 4 and 6, and 7 and 9 will indicate
interruption of the grounding circuit.
! WARNING
The ground connector clamp must be attached to a metal surface which is clean
and free of rust, dirt, paint or other insulating films or finishes. THE CLAMP MUST
BE ATTACHED TO THE TANKER OR OTHER DEVICE WHICH IS DISPENSING
OR RECEIVING THE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. DO NOT PLACE ANY OTHER
METAL BETWEEN THE CLAMP'S JAW SINCE THIS WOULD DEFEAT THE
GROUND VERIFICATION SYSTEM. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in an EXPLOSION!
! WARNING
EGL housing must be grounded. DO NOT USE OTHER MEANS TO DEFEAT
THE NEED TO RUN AN ADDITIONAL GROUND LEAD. The two (2) ground leads
should be connected back at the electrical supply panel. If one of the ground leads
is damaged, broken or defective, turn OFF power and replace immediately.
! CAUTION
If green indicator light is on and clamp is not engaged with conduction material,
it is an unsafe condition. Verify that clamp jaws are insulated and wiring is in
accordance with Figure 2 wiring diagrams.
MAINTENANCE
! WARNING
Always disconnect primary power source before opening enclosure for inspection
or service.
1.
Frequent inspection should be made. The total grounding indicator installation
should be visually checked for physical damage prior to each usage. A schedule for
maintenance checks should be governed by the environment and frequency of use.
It is recommended that it should be performed at least once a year. We recommend
an Electrical Preventative Maintenance Program as described in the National Fire
Protection Association Bulletin NFPA 70B: Recommended Practice for Electrical
Equipment Maintenance (www.nfpa.org).
! WARNING
If any part of the grounding indicator or total installation appears to be broken or
damaged, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY. Replace, or properly repair, the
item before continuing use.
2.
Perform visual, electrical and mechanical checks on all components on a regular
basis.
•
Visually check for undue heating evidenced by discoloration of wires or other
components, damaged or worn parts, or leakage evidenced by water or
corrosion in the interior.
•
Electrically check to make sure that all connections are clean and tight.
•
Mechanically check that all parts are properly assembled.
•
Visually inspect ground path and connections for signs of deterioration which
could affect grounding continuity.
INSTALLATION OF EGL K1 REPLACEMENT
CLAMP ASSEMBLY
1.
Remove the old clamp assembly, if applicable.
2.
Individually terminate each wire onto a ring terminal.
3.
Attach the ring terminal to the jaw assembly using the screw provided. Repeat
for the second ring terminal on the opposing jaw assembly. Ensure that each ring
terminal is not touching the handle. A connection to the handle will create an
electrical short and give a false reading on the grounding indicator.
4.
Place the jacketed cable in the strain relief on the interior of the handle assembly.
Secure the cable by bending the strain relief around the jacket.
