MOBILTEX WELCOMES THE SUNBIRD CATHODIC PROTECTION MONITORING PRODUCT GROUP
Overview
The SUNBIRD-TR (Transformer Rectifier) Monitor is a compact Remote Monitoring Unit (RMU) that can be housed within the rectifier cabinet or supplied in a separate enclosure ready for mounting externally. It carries out the functional checks of rectifier output (voltage and current) required to ensure a continuous CP supply to the pipeline and to comply with regulatory guidelines.
The SUNBIRD-TR checks that the rectifier remains powered by its external electrical supply. If the power fails, an alarm is transmitted and the unit’s internal batteries take over monitoring for up to 30 days. The device utilizes NB-IoT backhauls guaranteed to perform in the field for years with the added benefit of wide geographical coverage.
Captures CP measurements (ON and OFF potentials) with the ability to synchronize remotely with other rectifiers on a pipeline for CIPS (Close Interval Potential Surveys) or DCVG (Direct Current Voltage Gradient) surveys.
A solid-state interrupter allows interruption in perfect synchronization with other RMUs and all measurements are captured automatically and transmitted to the cloud-based iCPSM4 for report generation, quickly realizing your ROI when compared to scheduled manual reading capture.
