Description
Retracting Reel
Standard Duty
Our standard duty retractable reel is built from cast aluminum, which is
lighter and smaller than our heavy-duty reel. Easy to install and easy to
operate, this can use cable lengths from 25 ft. to 50 ft. Our standard duty
reels have ratchet controlled spring rewind for precise distances. Built to
meet a NEMA 4 rating, this style reel is best for areas where there is slight
protection from physical damage, such as on the ceiling or behind a
concrete barricade.
Heavy Duty
Built entirely out of steel, the heavy-duty retractable reel is optimal for
harsh environments where excessive wear and tear may occur. Easy to
install and easy to operate, this can use cable lengths from 25 ft. to 100 ft.
The reels have either fully automatic or ratchet controlled spring rewind.
This rugged and watertight design is best for applications such as
mounted to trucks or not protected by a roof.
Deadman Feature
Standard
Our standard Deadman Control option requires the handle to be activated
in addition to an acceptable ground to enable the permissive interlock
circuits in the ground monitoring system. As soon as an operator
depresses the handle, the system will open all contacts and indicate a red
light.
Timing
The enhanced Deadman option is to also have an integrated timer to
ensure the operator has not defeated the Deadman control by tampering
with the handle. After an adjustable time delay (15 seconds to 10 minutes)
the operator must reactivate the handle to continue.
Clamp Stowage Plate
Protect your equipment by having a designated location to store the
grounding cable and clamp. The clamp stowage plate is made of a durable
chemical-resistant plastic to endure prolonged use in hazardous areas.
