Mains-independent Remote Test Point Monitoring

Remote monitoring of cathodic protection systems is only economically feasible if installed at test points and rectifier stations, too, thus reducing amount of time and labour otherwise required for regular manual monitoring of test points and rectifier stations.
MiniTrans has been specially designed for automated wireless remote monitoring of cathodic protection systems to monitor such values like on- and off-potentials, AC voltages, currents and microvolts.
Introduction of low-energy hardware and latest GSM radio technology allows 3 years of daily measurements and monitoring operations without battery change.
Taking into consideration new GSM tarif structures and intelligent transmission technologies of GSM networks the monthly mobile phone bill will amount only between 5 EUR and 10 EUR.

Low Cost Installation and Setup

Already during installation at test points, MiniTrans constitutes a simple and cost-saving solution.
The antenna combination specially designed for combined use of DCF-77 radio time and mobile phone purposes, will simply have to be slipped into the test point pole while wireless sensor will be mounted on top of the terminal board.

Incorporating a test point into remote monitoring network requi-res no more than wiring of input channels, followed by short test of functions.

Multi-Channel Data Logger for remote-controlled Registration

Über Over and above remote monitoring, MiniTrans allows remote controlled multi-channel registration.
MiniTrans thus offers indispensable functions to support measurement of stray currents and fault location.

Time and Cost Saving Remote Programming

Due to comprehensive remote programming facilities of measuring and radio transmission parameters, MiniTrans allows the technician-operator to control all functions right from the office, eliminating otherwise necessary time- and cost-intensive site travels.
MiniTrans thus allows quick and trouble-free reaction to changes of operational conditions of cathodic protection, such as measuring periods and volume.
In addition to standard requirements of CP measuring technique, MiniTrans continuously supervises and transmits internal data such as battery condition, DCF-77 and GSM signal strength, ambient temperature and state of synchronisation.

Mains-Supplied Remote Monitoring of Rectifier Systems

Trouble-free and reliable operation of cathodic protection systems depended hitherto on regular and manual supervision of functions and monitoring of rectifier voltages and rectifier currents of cathodic protection stations.
By introducing MiniTrans remote monitoring of protection systems, manual maintenance will be reduced to a minimum.
Mains-supplied and wireless-operated MiniTrans monitors and controls rectifier voltages and currents, as well as on- and off- potentials of your cathodic protection system.
Rapid detection of a breakdown of protection systems as well as rectifier problems even in cases of mains failures is being ensured by MiniTrans remote monitoring system built-in back-up battery.

Switching of Rectifiers for Maintenance and Intensive Measurements

The installation of MiniTrans wireless sensors in rectifiers stations eliminates the hitherto time-consuming, but indispensable temporary installation of timer switches, required for maintenance and intensive measurements.
Activation of rectifier switching as well as selection of switching cycles of single or groups of rectifier stations may be carried out completely office-remote controlled or by mobile team.

Mobile Remote Control of Rectifiers by Mobil Phone

MiniTrans wireless sensors are serially fitted for remote functions via SMS-data.
This allows the use of any SMS-capable mobile phone to activate different switching modes and cycles anytime, anywhere by means of simple key functions.

Intelligent and site-independent Remote Monitoring

Intelligent utilisation of latest GSM radio technology allows the use of MiniTrans remote monitoring system locally and abroad including protection against data loss or mutilation.
During automatic data backing-up and transmission by means of GSM mailbox, each MiniTrans wireless sensor auto-secures its remote monitoring functions without the office PC to be in acti-vated state.
Simultaneous reception of measuring data and control of remote monitoring functions by up to 3 offices or mobile supervisory teams is being supported thus allowing to run the entire remote monitoring system without having to operate from fixed office station.
