Characteristics of the SMART-72 clamp

The PRX-SMART-72 intelligent grounding clamp is a clamp capable of monitoring the grounding circuit to which it is connected.

It indicates the status of the connection by means of indicator lights and an audible signal.

In order to significantly increase the safety of the grounding circuit, it must be possible to monitor the connection status of the elements connected to the grounding system.

Main Characteristics of the Smart-72 clamp

The grounding monitoring system is incorporated into the clamp as a single unit.

The clamp has two "fangs" hardened by heat treatment, which gives it great durability and also ensures an excellent connection on any type of surface.

No external power supply required. The clamp is powered by two AAA alkaline batteries which can be replaced by the user (one set of batteries lasts for more than 1 year).

The PRX SMART-72 model is entirely made of stainless steel, has insulated handles, and the area where the monitoring system is housed is made of plastic.

The monitoring system of the gripper is electronically and intrinsically protected, thus providing a high degree of operational safety in flammable or hazardous areas.

Its connection cable is spiral, resistant to abrasions, solvents and/or hydrocarbons. The swirl provides a retractable feature that makes it easy for your operator to use.

How the Smart Clamp Works

The PRX-SMART-72 clamp is capable of providing information on the status of the grounding in a simple and practical manner.

If an element is perfectly connected, the clamp will emit a green light confirming this condition.

If the connection of an element is deficient, the clamp will emit a red light and give an audible signal indicating that this connection is not adequate.

A connection is considered poor if the contact resistance between the metal ground to be grounded and the clamp is greater than 10Ω.

Thanks to the PRX-SMART-72 clamp, the connection status of the elements connected to the earthing system can be monitored regularly, significantly increasing safety.
