Mobiltex CorTalk - Model RMU3+TS1 -Pipeline Integrity Temperature Sensor

Pipeline Integrity Temperature Sensor Package for Remote Monitoring at Rectifiers

The MOBILTEX TS1 configurations enable field technicians to permanently install remote, GPS-enabled temperature sensing capabilities that are compatible with our CorTalk RMU1 [battery powered] or RMU3 platforms. Measurement data is accessible 24/7 within our CorView Platform cloud-based interface to enhance pipeline integrity data collection and help ensure the fitness of the pipeline in locations that have historically been cost-prohibitive to monitor.

Accurate temperature monitoring on multi-product lines requires wide temperature ranges, depending on the product and the season. The TS1 RTD transmitter connects to any standard Pt100 resistance sensor, is fully configurable, and provides high stability over an extremely wide range making it ideal for any field application.

The MOBILTEX TS1 enables pipeline engineers to easily and cost effectively monitor for extreme temperature fluctuation to identify risks of accelerated pipe coating deterioration and identify potential geohazard events where soil and moisture conditions shifts have occurred affecting normal temperature, which may have also damaged the pipeline. The TS1 also will allow users to monitor for pipeline temperature variances to enable more accurate calculation of volumetric flow for leak detection system calibration.

• Fast, simple installation

• Built to withstand the toughest conditions
• Integral battery backup system

• The compact, weather-proof RMU3 is designed for the measurement terminal to easily fit inside a rectifier cabinet or a NEMA4 enclosure with an external antenna that has been tested and proven in the most extreme applications – the system can typically be installed in under an hour.
• External analog channels are high impedance and galvanically isolated with multistage lightning protection. AC rejection filters utilized for DC measurements to provide maximum accuracy. Several voltage ranges to accommodate a wide range of sensors (current shunts, reference cells, and direct voltage measurement)
• RMU3 platform has an AC Line Presence Sensor available to determine voltage is present, a magnetic sensor on enclosure doors that will alarm when unauthorized tampering occurs, an optional Measurement Recorder to capture analog readings, and a 4-20mA mode to receive signals from external equipment like the
• MOBILTEX TS1 temperature sensor.
• Compatible with any RMU3, the TS1 temperature sensor package can connect to any standard Pt100 resistance sensor and is fully configurable, provides high stability, and can monitor pipeline or soil temperature
• The RMU3 can be utilized at test points and bond monitoring applications, in addition to the more conventional rectifier, TEG and solar applications. AC mitigation systems can also be monitored with an optional AC current transformer.
• The RMU3 comes standard with an external “TEST” button and dual colour LEDs for manual controls. It can be easily programmed with our standard Programming Interface and a PC and can also be completed with a compatible iOS or Android-based mobile device and our available Bluetooth Interface.
• Available with cellular or satellite communication capability, the RMU2 can transmit data from virtually any location. This helps improve the quality and frequency of data collection, while reducing the need for workers to undertake long, potentially dangerous trips, to remote sites.
• To minimize airtime costs, the RMU2 stores four sets of periodic readings and then transmits all of those readings via four available factory-configured satellite or cellular data transmission plans. Irrespective of data plans, the RMU3 takes measurements every 6 hours, the device will immediately initiate a transmission when an alarm condition is detected. Alarms can be suppressed during interruption.
• Lightning, surge and overvoltage protection and broad operating temperature range (-40° to +60°C [-40° to +140°F]).
• Powers the device for approximately 16 hours (RMU3-G) or 10 hours (RMU3-S) during power outages.
