The newly upgraded Earth-Rite Tellus II offers effective static earth verification for drums, IBCs and other mobile equipment in hazardous area operations. The lightweight static dissipative polyester (SDP) enclosure can be mounted in all industrial flammable or combustible atmospheres and provides the operator with a flashing, bright green LED to confirm positive connection to earth, as well as a pair of output contacts for interlock with pumps, valves or other control or alarm devices. The Tellus enables compliance with the best practice guidelines of NFPA 77 and Cenelec TR 50404 for controlling static electricity. All Tellus monitoring systems are approved for safe use in hazardous areas to ATEX Ex European/IECEX standards as well as U.S. and Canadian standards for all gas, vapor or dust operating environments. — Newson Gale Ltd., Nottingham, U.K.
