Mobiltex CorTalk - Model RMU1-LITE -Remote Monitoring Test Stations

High volume deployments within operational budgets are now possible

The CorTalk RMU1-LITE offers user-selectable intervals, greatly enhancing the amount of pipe-to-soil data that is automatically collected as compared to manually obtained annual pipe-to-soil potential readings. Pipeline operators can take advantage of this capability to collect multiple measurements throughout the year, providing a richer data set to understand seasonal variations or short-term operating irregularities that can negatively impact CP system performance. This flexibility also provides a measure of future-proofing since the RMU1-LITE will be able to meet regulatory requirements for more frequent data collection that may come into force.

The RMU1-LITE also has a unique feature that adds to it’s autonomy and reliability, it can collect separate pipe-to-soil potential measurements from two connected reference cells. This allows technicians to use our CorView Cloud Platform to remotely compare the results and validate whether the reference cells are functioning properly. During an interruption event, the device can also capture an instant-off potential measurement, meeting the data requirements for annual level of protection surveys and further reinforcing the operational insights provided by more granular measurements.
