Watchdog VIP-XT Remote Rectifier Monitory by Elecsys
Description
The Elecsys VIP-XT is the answer to the corrosion professional’s need for a simple, reliable and low-cost CP transformer/rectifier remote monitor.
The unit comes from the factory configured to measure transformer/ rectifier output volts, amps, pipe-to-soil potential, and AC mains detection. The unit is highly flexible, with four configurable analog inputs, one digital input, and the AC detection probe, allowing it to handle a wide variety of remote monitoring needs for pipelines, plants and refineries, oil and gas well sites, and distribution utilities.
Using field-proven lightning surge-resistant circuitry, the VIPxt system is the best choice for cost-effective transformer/rectifier monitoring on oil, gas and water pipelines, offshore platforms, well casings and piers.
