Protection during the loading and unloading operations of liquids and dry inert material.
The GRDE-4200 electronic earthing system help to prevent fire and explosions in areas with hazardous levels of static electricity when trucks or trains load and unload liquids and dry materials.
Filling, dispensing, transporting and tipping materials into vehicles or containers generates static electricity simply through the movement of the material being processed or handled.
The charge level is greater for poorly conductive solvents flowing through plastic pipes. Furthermore, a fast flow or large amounts of air bubbles flowing through the pipe can amplify the static electricity.

AGL Automation Ltd are delighted to announce the Meteor MCE-MRC-EX Hazardous Area Remote Camera.
The MRC-EX is designed for real time monitoring of hazardous area locations. Applications include monitoring the status of plant and equipment in offshore locations and visual confirmation of alarms such as water level in pumping stations. The cameras are easy to install and are controlled and configured via the MeteorCloud viewing and analysis system. The MRC-EX has also been approved for use on the Tampnet Offshore 4G Network.
Smart-Ex® 02 users can now independently update the intrinsically safe smartphone by the Pepperl+Fuchs brand ECOM Instruments to Android 11, quickly and easily. Thus they benefit from the numerous advantages and brand-new functions of the cutting-edge operating system.
These include improved voice control (voice access), better management of access rights to camera, microphone and location for apps, as well as the ability to call up all connected end devices easily and manage them from a common location. From now on, security and data protection updates are carried out via the Google Play Store, comparable to app updates. This grants users maximum flexibility in controlling the updates.
Red lasers are near the edge of the visible light spectrum at 700 nanometers, and green lasers are in the center of the visible light spectrum at 550 nanometers, making them much easier for human eyes to detect.
Green lasers are up to 4 times brighter than red lasers and are visible in daylight as far as 650' (198 m) away with the naked eye and up to 1,000' (305 m) with a detector. They also produce a clean, sharp line with less scatter over long distances than red lasers.

A Yorkshire-headquartered high-voltage electrical engineering firm has pledged to address the industry’s skills gap, by launching a new apprenticeship scheme – and is in the process of enrolling its first four candidates.
Smith Brothers will provide vital hands-on experience to the quartet of trainees, which will be dovetailed by a two-year City & Guilds academic course and three years with Utility and Construction Training (UCT).
The candidates include 19-year-old apprentice HV jointer Michael McNeill – who has been working on cable pulling and HV fault work for the past 12 months – as well as a trio of trainee fitters, including Rory Sharp (18), Cameron Galbraith (19), and Bronson Taylor (17), the latter of whom worked as a trainee fitter for Smith Brothers during the pandemic.
Businesses will have an additional year to apply new product safety markings such as UKCA Ex (ATEX) for most products placed on the market in England, Scotland and Wales This applies to all goods where businesses were due to begin using the UKCA marking by the end of this year (2021).
The UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) marking allows the UK to have control over its goods regulations, maintaining the high product safety standards expected in the UK.
Recognising the impact of the pandemic on businesses, the Government has extended the deadline to 1 January 2023 to apply UKCA marks for certain products to demonstrate compliance with product safety regulations, rather than 1 January 2022. The UKCA marking replaces the product safety labelling the UK previously used while a member of the EU, such as the CE mark.
