Operation
For the operation of the device, observe the information in chapter "Function" and
"Configuration and commissioning".
Remove the clamp from the suspension point on side of the enclosure.
Connect the object to be grounded. While doing so, make sure that there is a direct
connection to be grounded object and no insulation between the object and connection
point of the grounding clamp. (Caution with tank containers: The frame may be
separated from the actual tank by means of the rubber buffer!)
Provided there is sufficient contact between the clamp and the object to be grounded,
the signaling is performed by means of the green indicator light and switching of the
potential-free contact for signaling to process control systems or to external monitoring
devices.
Once the filling or emptying of the object has been completed, release the clamp from the
object and hang it back at the point of suspension.
Indications
The corresponding indicator lights on the device indicate the operating state of the device
(also refer to chapter "Function and device design").
