A new Self-Retracting Cable Reel option is now available for this company’s range of hazardous-area static-grounding systems. The VESM02 (photo) provides a rugged and versatile alternative to spiral (retractable) cable for the Earth-Rite range of systems, which are used to ground road tanker trucks, mobile tanks, IBCs, drums and other conductive plant items, especially in outdoor locations where the cable may be exposed to rough treatment when not in use. The VESM02 reel has been approved in accordance with ATEX requirements for installation in Zone 1 (flammable gas or vapor) and 21 (combustible powder or dust), when connected to any Earth-Rite grounding system with certified intrinsically safe monitoring circuit output. — Newson Gale Ltd., Colwick, Nottingham, U.K.
