MOBILTEX CorTalk RMU3 Remote Monitoring and GPS Interruption for Rectifiers
Quickly and affordably add two-way communication for accurate, remotely controlled configuration and GPS-synchronized interruption of rectifiers
Description
Gain deep insight into the performance of your CP system with continuous remote monitoring capabilities. The RMU3 is a small, two-piece device that can be easily installed into a rectifier cabinet and features a full range of configurable functions to collect critical measurement data.
Two-way information can be transmitted via satellite or cellular network as frequently as every few hours to provide a highly detailed view of the CP system and identify short-lived events that may impact CP performance.
When combined with CorView web analytics platform, pipeline operators can use a network of RMU3 devices to instantly evaluate overall CP performance, identify areas of concern and remotely manage interruption activities.
Key Features
Compact, weatherproof devices are designed to be quickly and easily installed in existing rectifier cabinets or test stations
Available with satellite or cellular communications for maximum service coverage with economical fixed rate operational communication costs
No connection to ground for superior lightning and surge protection
Highly accurate and reliable data collection and GPS-synchronized interruption
High reliability, long operational life design, low capital equipment cost
Operation in -40 to +60°C (-40 to +140°F) temperatures
IP67 sealed enclosure and cabling for harsh environments
Fast, simple configuration via PC, iOS or Android app
Features
Simple and very quick to install (typically under 1 hour)
High reliability, long operational life design
Low capital equipment cost
Economical fixed rate operational communication costs
Satellite or LTE cellular models for maximum service coverage
Four galvanically isolated analog input channels
Each analog channels is bi-polar with 150mV (50 and 100mV current shunts), 22V, 150V, and 4-20mA measurement ranges
Each analog channel can be configured to read DC or True RMS AC (i.e. induced AC measurements)
DC analog channels include >65bD of 50/60Hz AC rejection
All analog channels are high impedance and allow direct connection to reference half-cells
Analog channel measurement accuracy of ±0.5% DC and ±1% ACFS over -40 to +70°C (-40 to +158°F)
Programmable low and high alarm window capability on each analog channel with report by exception facilities
Scheduled reporting of data based on customer selected plan (every 6 hours, daily, every 2 days, or weekly readings)
Each channel has independent very high lightning protection
No connection to ground for maximum lightning immunity
Internal temperature measurement and reporting
Internal wide temperature range rechargeable battery system provides 16 hours (RMU3-G) or 10 hours (RMU3-S) of backup
GPS antenna / GPS receiver and high gain LTE or satellite antenna integral to transceiver
Compact two piece mechanical design
Termination block assembly is 135mm x 38mm x 38mm (5.3” x 1.5” x 1.5”) and typically mounts inside the rectifier
Antenna transceiver assembly is 134mm x 77mm x 53mm (5.3” x 3.0” x 2.1”) and mounts externally with a view of the sky
Components connect together with a single polyurethane cable with small (0.5” diameter) molded waterproof connectors
Antenna transceiver includes a bottom side ½” threaded receptacle that mates directly to electrical conduit fittings
Easy configuration through a USB PC interface
Rectifier GPS position information transmitted to corView host
IP67 sealed enclosure and cabling for harsh environments
Operation in -40 to +70°C (-40 to +158°F) temperatures
Integral voltage sensor for safe and lightning immune detection of supply voltage presence
Magnetic door switch / tamper sensor with exception report
