Remote Monitoring Units

Remote Monitoring Units (RMU's) are available for the measurement and communication of cathodic protection (CP) parameters, corrosion monitoring information and other process information from field locations where AC power is readily available. For remote and locations without AC power, battery or solar powered RMU systems with cellular telephone or two-way paging are available.

Remote Monitoring Units are widely used by:

Customers with rectifiers
Customers with critical bonds
Customers who perform interrupted surveys
Pipeline systems
Customers with cathodic protection that need to be monitored

Benefits

Remote Monitoring Units

Remote monitoring provides four main benefits:

Regulatory Benefits

- Takes scheduled readings on time
Additional Benefits
- Safety and environmental benefits
- Risk Reduction
Improve system integrity
- More accurate data
- More frequent data collection
- Improved record keeping
- Immediately detect system faults
Effective Use of “Knowledge Resources”
- Reallocate staff from data collection to system maintenance tasks

Cost Savings

Remote Monitoring Units

Remote Monitoring Units provide costs savings by:
