The FGR2- CP Cathodic Protection remote monitoring radio products monitor pipe-to-soil test stations, rectifier stations, pipeline pressure stations and pipeline scrubbing stations. The FGR2-CP board level radio is available in a pre-assembled LineMarker Test Station complete with solar power system (one or two panels), antenna, and conduit mounting bracket and comes in 900 MHz (FGR2-CP). The FGR2-CP has no recurring monthly costs or fees and is UL Approved.
- Multi-Purpose, All-in-One Radio Modem: Monitor rectifiers, pipe-to-soil test stations, pressure, and pipeline scrubbing operations.
- Enhanced lightning surge isolation: Full CP isolation protection from field structures.
- Open Protocol Communications: Uses open Modbus and Extended Modbus.
- No Obsolescence: 100% backwards compatibility with all legacy FreeWave 900 MHz products.
- No Recurring Monthly Costs: You own your own communication network.
- Enhanced Security: Retains all data within company firewall protection.
- Easily Integrates into existing radio networks leveraging existing investments in supervisory control and data acquisition systems using open extended Modbus network addressing.
- Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum: Invented for military use in 1940’s.
- High Speed Communications: 115.2 Kbps true data throughput.
- Long Range: Up to 60 miles line of sight with ability to extend range by repeating from station to station to station or to existing FreeWave radio products.
- Error Free Communications: 32 bit CRC with automatic retransmission.
- Repeater Capabilities: Each FGRCP can perform as a Slave Radio, a Repeater and simultaneous Slave/Repeater.
- Wide Supply Voltage Range: Supply voltage 10 to 30 VDC.
- Ultra Low Power Consumption: Current draw is less than 8 mA, 12 VDC in linked idle mode, and less than 60 mA in receive mode.
- Separate Diagnostics Serial Port: Allows real time simultaneous diagnostics and setup without tying up the FGRCP main communication port.
- Separate RS232 Serial Port: Allows the FGRCP radio to simultaneously communicate to the CP monitoring points and to auxiliary PLC’s, EFM’s, RTU’s, etc.
- Enhanced Diagnostics: Including signal level in dBm and transmit current.
RS232/RS485/RS422 Interface available with user programmability.
