32 foot (ten meter) coiled or a 20 foot (six meter) straight cable. A single Scully Ground Ball mounted on a tank vehicle serves as the truck ground veri cation point. The system is self-proving when the snap-on plug is connected to the vehicle mounted Ground Ball.
(Applies to Models ST-47 EL(K)/D) Deadman capable models of the ST-47 differ from standard models in two ways 1.) The Model ST-47/D requires the use of a Scully deadman equipped plug and cable or ground ball connector and cable assemblies (Model SC-47CC/D). These include a hand-operated deadman switch added to a standard plug and cable assembly.

Two wires (black and white) are factory connected from the Deadman switch to terminals 1 and 2 inside the Scully plug and cable box. Applicable junction boxes may be identi ed by the “/D” in their Model designation. The end-user must provide wiring which connects the two terminals to TB3 inside (bottom) of the ST-47 explosion proof housing.

Procedure 2, Step A This step requires a Scully Ground Bolt or Ground Ball for testing- if you do not have one, Go to Step A1. Use a jumper wire to connect the green wire on the bolt to the center pin inside of the plug and connect the body of the bolt to one of the three tension ngers inside the plug.
Servicing the ST-47 Procedure 2, Step A1 (Ground Bolt or Ground Ball NOT required) If you do not have a Scully Ground Bolt or Ground Ball. Using a Multi-Meter set on DC volts measure the voltage between spring plunger contact inside the plug (+) and one of the three contact ngers (-) of the Ground Ball Connector Plug.
Before proceeding with this section the ST-47 must be operational. It must permit (green lamp) when connected to a Scully Ground Ball or Ground Bolt. The unit is capable of turning on the green permit lamp even if the deadman circuitry is not functioning properly. If the unit will not permit, consult the earlier parts of this troubleshooting section for advice on repairing the problem.
