Cen-Stat
The Cen-Stat range of clamps, cables and reels are single circuit applications that rely on high strength mechanical circuits to dissipate static electricity from potentially charged equipment.
Cen-Stat clamps are specially designed to dissipate static electricity from potentially charged equipment and are subjected to rigorous FM & ATEX testing standards.
In some cases, hazardous area operators rely on small clips and welding clamps to ground equipment without any guarantee they are penetrating hardened product deposits, rust or paint. To mitigate against this uncertainty Cen-Stat clamps are fitted with a pair of tungsten carbide tips to bite through connection inhibitors and achieve direct electrical contact to potentially charged equipment. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistant benefits and is capable of working in tough industrial environments.
The clamps can be supplied with static dissipative Hytrel coated retractable spiral cable or static discharge reels.

The Cen-Stat X45 and X90 are general purpose static earthing clamps certified to ATEX and FM guidelines for safe use within hazardous areas. Each clamp is made from corrosion resistant stainless steel and contains two hard wearing tungsten carbide tips that bite through rust, paint and product deposits. They are designed especially for use on large containers, drums and IBCs. |

Cen-Stat static discharge reels provide personnel with a convenient means of stowing static earthing clamps and cable when not in use. The cable reels can be supplied in 20 ft, 30 ft and 50 ft lengths. The galvanised cable is covered with a layer of high visibility Hytrel coating protecting it from chemical attack. |

|
The VESM19 reel is a spring operated retractable 30 mtr. (100 ft.) reel that features a latching mechanism to lock the reel in position when the grounding clamp and cable is payed out to the required length. |
|
|
Cen-Stat clamps are supplied as standard with straight or retractable spiral cable in lengths of 5mtr (16ft), 10mtr (32ft) and 15mtr (50ft) and straight lengths of up to 500mtr (1640ft). The hi-visibility Hytrel® coating is IEC 60446 compliant and protects the 4mm diameter multi-stranded galvanised steel conductor from chemical and environmental degradation. |

The Sole-Mate is designed to test personnel footwear resistance before entering a hazardous area. The tester measures the resistance of the footwear to ensure static is capable of dissipating from personnel through their shoes to earth. The tester confirms footwear is compliant with CLC/TR 50404 & ASTM F2413-05 (Type I). |
|
|
The IS Tester is an ATEX certified intrinsically safe ohm-meter that can be used in hazardous areas to measure the electrical continuity of Cen-Stat clamp / cable connections to ground points and also be used for identifying potentially isolated process equipment that may require a dedicated earthing solution. |
|
|
A plant that contains extensive earthing and bonding measures designed to control static electricity is only as good as the people working with the equipment provided. The best way to ensure that static control equipment is used effectively is to make staff fully aware of the dangers posed by electrostatic discharge. |
|
|
The Grounding Station provides operators with an identifiable location for equipment or plant items that require earthing protection from the hazards of static electricity. Up to two Newson Gale stainless steel static earthing clamps can be connected to the Grounding Station which is, itself, connected to the site earth. If more than two items of plant equipment require static earthing protection, multiple Grounding Stations can be interconnected to provide a secure and reliable path to earth. |

The Hand-wound stainless steel reel can be mounted in process areas |

|
Newson Gale Quick-Connect provides a universal system of connectors that provide quick and easy installation / replacement of 2 pole clamps and cables. Quick-Connect is supplied as standard for 2 pole clamps, cables, indicator stations and junction boxes across the Earth-Rite and Bond-Rite range. |
