Why Choose Bullhorn RM4211 or RM4251?
The RM4211 and RM4251 accurately monitor critical oil and gas assets in various cathodic protection (CP) applications. These include coupon test stations, bonds, decouplers, and solar-powered rectifiers.
The difference between these two units is the method of communication. The RM4211 uses satellite communication, while the RM4251 uses cellular communication.
They both capture a range of measurements:
- AC/DC Pipe-to-Soil
- Instant-off
- Shunts
- Rectifier Volts and Amps
- and more
A long-lasting battery combined with satellite or cellular connectivity means you can access reliable, near-instantaneous communication.
Bullhorn RM4211 and RM4251 Features and Benefits:
Versatility – The RM4211 (satellite) and RM4251 (cellular) facilitate remote monitoring across many applications including coupon test stations, bonds, solar-powered rectifiers, decouplers and more. Get IR-free instant off coupon readings for annual interrupted surveys. Mount them on any 3” riser or rectifier. Measure up to 100 V on a rectifier or low voltage on a test point application. Ensure Cathodic Protection (CP) effectiveness by recognizing asset failure. Program alarm criteria and alert notifications using Bullhorn Web
Power – No power, no boat, no helicopter, no problem! Battery life (of up to 10 years long) with satellite or LTE Cat M cellular connectivity, make these RMUs ideal in remote locations like swamps, mountains, and private land where cell signals and power are unavailable.
Efficient & Cost-Efffective – Bullhorn remote monitors survive the harshest conditions with built-in surge protection. For enhanced safety against surge events, you can add a high-energy surge arrester or Advanced SurgeProtect Kit .
