b) Grounding Applications: Grounding refers to the act of connecting an object via
a conductive material (e.g. a wire) to a known ground point such as a ground bus
or ground rod, thus allowing static electricity to dissipate to ground.
+ The device can be attached to the ground point using either a lug terminal,
which can be bolted to the ground point, or a hand clamp.
+ Once the cables have been assembled per STEP 1, you should attach one side
of the StaticSure to your known ground point.
+ You must ensure a good metal to metal contact between either the jaws of the
clamp or the lug terminal and the ground point.
+
If the red light is flashing after attaching this side, you do not have good metal to
metal contact and should reattach this side until the light goes off.
Note: If the ground point is not the grounding rod itself, continuity between the
ground point and the ground rod should be checked regularly.
+ The other side of the assembly is now ready to be attached to the object that
you wish to ground (FIGURE 3), but first the device should be tested.
+ See STEP 3 for testing instructions.
HOW TO USE THE StaticSure
STEP 3: TESTING
Testing of the device is simple and should be done before each usage.
+
Once the device has been assembled and set up properly, you can test it by simply
opening the clamp on the unattached side (simulating a break in the continuity).
+ If the device is working properly a red warning light should immediately start to
blink (FIGURE 4).
If the light does not come on during the testing phase, there is a problem and the
following actions should be taken:
1. Check the assembly to ensure that all cables are properly fastened per the
instructions in STEPS 1 and 2.
2.
Ensure that the wire that is attached to the isolated point has not been dislodged
so that it is touching the clamp itself.
3. If the above issues are not present, then the battery may be depleted. See
page 11 for battery life information.
4. If problem persists, or you suspect a depleted battery; do not use clamp. Please
contact your distributor or Lind Equipment.
