YOUR TOUGHEST TRANSIENT CURRENT DIAGNOSIS CHALLENGES ARE SOLVED with full RMU1 capabilities and enhanced fast sample datalogging

Introducing the CorTalk RDL1

The CorTalk RDL1 represents a convergence of two classes of technology that have long been cornerstones of the Cathodic Protection industry – stationary dataloggers and remote monitoring units. In a significant evolutionary step, the RDL1 is the industry’s most powerful and versatile battery powered remote monitoring device with enhanced fast sample datalogging capabilities.

Combining the best elements of both technology classes, the RDL1 allows operators to gain visibility into the performance and state of their protection systems while capturing high volumes of data directly to the CorView Cloud Platform via CAT-M1 [LTE-M 4G/5G] cellular connections that are granular enough for forensic and diagnostic analysis. A versatile tool, the RDL1 can be used in a wide range of applications; from identifying dynamic AC and DC interference from a light rail transit system, to being used for datalogging Telluric impacts during a survey, to monitoring a Constant Potential Rectifier.

In addition, the RDL1 pairs with the CorTalk INT1 to provide GPS synchronized interruption for critical bonds and sacrificial anodes, eliminating the need for technicians to install portable interrupters. Simply put, the CorTalk RDL1 represents a new generation of remote monitoring capabilities that will dramatically improve how CP systems are operated.
