ST-47 Groundhog Static Ground Proving Control Unit

Vehicle Static Ground Verification System

  • Self-proving technology based on Scully’s original patented design
  • Can operate in conjunction with your Scully Overfill Prevention System (ST-35® or ST-15) or as an independent ground verification unit
  • Immediately shuts down the loading operation if proper static grounding is not detected

  • Can be used with a variety of loading operations including tank trucks, rail tank cars, aircraft refuelers and tanks to ensure that transport vehicles are properly tied to ground before and during the loading operation
  • The ST-47 Static Grounding system continuously monitors the ground connection and if that connection is lost, the ST47 will non-permit
  • For stand-alone grounding without overfill prevention, choose the junction box with choice of Scully ground-proving plug or grounding clamp
  • For static ground verification in conjunction with your Scully Overfill Prevention system, wire the ST-47 through your Overfill Prevention Control Monitor and plug and cable for one quick overfill protection and static grounding/earthing connection
  • Direct earthing tie-in point at loading rack is available
