This ruggedized PC is a complete solution for the pipeline survey technician for applications that span production, midstream, transmission, and distribution. The integrated digital volt meter and GPS with the bundled suite of applications fully support periodic surveys including: facilities, leak, atmospheric, and valve. Indirect surveys include: close interval, DCVG, ACVG, ACCA, and Soil Resistivity. All surveys can be GPS time sync’d to your current interruption schedule. The RFID pen accessory can uniquely identify facility locations from tags as well as log visits to the tags for positive audit support.

How it works

Key Benefits

Highly ruggedized: IP67, MIL-STD 810F
Works reliably in harsh conditions, no lost time in the field

Bundled survey applications
Graphical display of collected data including live waveforms; upload data to PCS or export to CSV file for other applications.

Collect data on multiple facility types, upload/download routes from PCS, display previously collected data and inspection points

Surveys: periodic, close interval, DCVG, ACVG, ACCA, Soil Resistivity

Integrated digital voltmeter with 100 MΩ input impedance
Fast, accurate, CP survey measurements

100% compatible with Pipeline Compliance System (PCS)
Seamless workflow from survey creation, data collection, to reporting and compliance.

Integrated GPS
Record latitude and longitude coordinates for every survey measurement;

Synchronize on/off measurements with current interruption schedules

RFID (Radio Frequency ID) tags & reader.
Simplifies routing and verifies test locations; provides 100% verification that inspections were performed and generates automatic inspection history logs

Features

A color VGA display with a resolution that’s four times better than previous models and is easy to read, even in direct sunlight.
A QWERTY keyboard, full number pad and hourglass shape that reduces slippage.
A WAAS-enabled internal GPS that provides coordinates quickly and accurately.
A quick-charging lithium-ion battery that will last for up to fourteen hours of nonstop surveying.
An integrated DVM that delivers accuracy of 0.25 percent when reading DC voltage, even in the presence of up to 100 volts of AC interference.
The option to couple the field computer with RFID technology to make data 100 percent verifiable.
