Description

TIMM FIBC Grounding Control Device

This Static Grounding Control Device EKX-FIBC provides and monitors a safe grounding connection between the big bag and the designated ground point via two active clamps. The digital measuring technology prevents misuse or bypassing of the device by means of automatic object recognition. A filling release via the electronic control outputs and the highly visible LED indicator is only given if the connected big bag is properly recognized and safely grounded via both clamps. In case of an interruption of the ground connection, the control outputs lock and the optical LED indicator changes from green to red.

The EKX-FIBC can be used in gas and dust explosive atmospheres up to Zone 1/21. The main unit can be mounted at a distance of up to 20m to the workplace. The cable quick couplings at the optional external measuring module and the plain text diagnostic display in the main unit allow easy initial installation, handling and maintenance.
