The Rite PLUS provides positive verification of static ground (earth) connections on a wide range of
Static Sparks and industrial plant equipment, including rail cars, drums, containers, and other conductive equipment.

Flammable Liquids are a

Disastrous Mix Whenever flammable liquids or powders are
transferred, or wherever there is a risk of con-
ductive plant items becoming isolated from
ground within hazardous locations, effective
grounding and bonding is necessary to ensure
safe dissipation of static electricity to prevent
fires and explosions which can be ignited by
static. When connected to a tanker truck or
other conductive equipment, the intrinsically
safe monitoring circuit verifies a low resistance
connection and dissipation path to ground.
Protect personnel, product, and terminals with proven Good connection is confirmed by pulsing LED
static grounding systems from Carbis indicators, releasing a pair of voltage-free
output contacts and enabling the transfer of
product to start.
