5602-1000: Reliable Electrostatic Safety for Demanding Medical Environments
The Bürkle 5602-1000 antistatic kit is an essential tool for ensuring safe grounding in medical, pharmaceutical and scientific research environments where the prevention of electrostatic discharge is crucial. Designed for hazardous environments, this device is used to establish an equipotential bond, particularly when transferring or sampling flammable or static-sensitive liquids.
The 5602-1000 consists of three conductive copper cables, each identified by a distinct colour (red, black, and bare copper), equipped with robust grounding clamps for reliable attachment to conductive surfaces. The red cable is intended for initial connection to a conductive material, while the black cable connects this material to the earth point. The bare copper cable is specially designed for use in non-conductive containers, where its free end is immersed in the fluid to be protected, provided that the medium does not chemically attack the copper.
Particularly useful in laboratories where safety standards are strict, the 5602-1000 complies with current European directives (1999/92/EC) concerning explosive areas. It can be used in zones 1 and 2 with its insulated cables, and in zone 0 only with the bare cable, making it perfectly suited to the regulated conditions of laboratories handling potentially hazardous substances.
This product is designed exclusively for electrostatic discharge and must not be used as an electrical conductor under any circumstances. It is essential to carry out a visual inspection before each use to check the integrity of the cables and clamps, and to handle them only by their insulated handle to avoid any risk of electric shock or injury from crushing.
The storage case keeps the components organised and protected, although it is not suitable for use in EX zones. Thanks to its robustness, safety in use and compliance with ATEX standards, the 5602-1000 meets the high requirements of professionals in the medical sector and safety laboratories.
