NEWSON GALE, Earth-Rite II MGV Mobile Grounding Verification System
Truck mounted static ground verification with system interlocks and indication

The Earth-Rite II Mobile Ground Verification system (MGV) is a unique, patented technology designed to provide automatic confirmation of a positive electrostatic ground connection for trucks collecting and transferring flammable / combustible products.

Vacuum trucks and bulk chemical road tankers, including their hoses and hose connections, are susceptible to static charge accumulation during the transfer of product into or out of the
truck’s containment system. This accumulation of static charge is equivalent to a hidden source of ignition and if discharged as a static spark can lead to the ignition of the product or the
atmosphere in which the truck and material handling team is operating

The Earth-Rite II MGV system performs two system checks which ensures the vehicle can dissipate static charges for the duration of the transfer process

1. Static Ground Verification
The Earth-Rite II MGV system ensures the connection resistance of the object that is identified as the ground source to earth, is low enough to safely dissipate static charges from the truck.

2. Continuous Ground Loop Monitoring
When the Static Ground Verification process is confirmed, the Earth-Rite II MGV system continuously monitors the connection resistance of the truck to this verified grounding point for the duration of the transfer process. This connection resistance must be maintained at 10 Ohms (or less) for the duration of the transfer process.

Two output contacts located in the control unit of the Earth-Rite II MGV system can interlock with pumps or other control devices to prevent transfer operations should a static ground connection fail to be established or maintained for the transfer process.
