Bulk Plant E-Stop
Eliminate costly hard-wiring of typical fixed location E-Stop switches, and increase mobility of your workforce.
Our fixed wireless E-Stop systems were developed to eliacminate the costly hard-wiring of typical fixed location Emergency Stop switches and to provide operators with radio remote E-Stop mobility. Any number of wireless remote E-Stop switches can be installed within the facility and communicate with one or more receiver/controller units.
These wireless Emergency Stop systems will work in conjunction with all existing, hard-wired, manual E-Stop Systems in worldwide fuel transfer service.
Designed specifically for bulk storage and off-loading facilities by the world’s leading experts in Hazardous Location Wireless Emergency Stop Systems.
Eliminates expensive explosion-proof hard wiring and conduit.
ATEX and IECEx approved for use in Hazardous Environments.
Combination of fixed-mounted wireless E-Stop switches and portable hand-held switches.
Fixed Mount E-Stop Transmitter
Pressing the Emergency Stop button causes the receiver/controller unit to trigger a shut down. The system cannot be rebooted until the E-Stop button is pulled out and a manual receiver/controller reset is performed. E-Stop buttons are dual contact - dual-channel, and comply with global E-Stop switch requirements. Systems will fail safe, triggering an automatic E-Stop with any loss of main line electrical power supply to the receiver/controller unit.
Fixed frequency remote E-Stop switch operates at 433 MHz using two double “A” batteries. Transmitter is energized only when E-Stop switch is activated. Battery Test button shows a “low battery” flashing LED on the E-Stop switch as well as on the receiver/controller unit. An optional “low battery” alarm or indicator lamp output is available for auxiliary low battery warning. Typical battery life is one to two years, but routine battery testing and replacement is recommended. Typical operating range up to 1000 ft (300m) in ideal conditions.
Emergency Stop transmitter units can be strategically located on or near fuel transfer equipment within a 1000 ft radius
300 hour battery life
Intrinsically safe Zone 0 rated
Industrial Control Panel with modular din rail components available for easy installationE-Stop Receiver / Controller
Easily interfaced with electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, nitrogen, or mechanical plant shift-off equipment. Systems will operate with 12/24V DC or 120/240V AC power supplies.
Receiver/Controller outputs can be specified as 12/24VDC, 120/240VAC, dry contact, Rs232, or J1939 CAN bus. BASE Engineering can also supply electric/pneumatic interface solenoids on request.
Transmitter E-Stop switches ARE rated for use in hazardous locations. Standard receiver/controller units are NOT rated explosion-proof, and are typically hard-wired by an electrician in a non-hazardous electrical control area. Receiver/controller units come pre-wired and ready for power supply and E-Stop connection.
Antenna and coax cable are also provided for outside antenna mounting, allowing maximum operating range. Explosion-proof receiver/controller electrical enclosures are available on request.
