The FreeWave CP-Cathodic Protection systems offers the CP professional a complete product family to meet your CP remote monitoring needs.
The FreeWave CP system offers the potential to monitor rectifier operations, pipe to soil potentials, as well as supplying supplemental analog inputs to allow for pipeline scrubbing, compressor functionality and other operational parameters.
The FreeWave CP system comes in two frequencies: 900MHz and 2.4GHz, which allows for global deployment. Additionally, it is available in four basic form factors: Board level, Rectifier kit, line marker test station and battery powered water proof units.
All these product allow you to remotely monitor the following on electrically isolated circuits:
- Rectifier AC Input voltage from 115VAC to 480VAC
- Rectifier outputs both volts and amps
- Multiple Pipe to Soils potentials, up to three per board, when supplemental measurements are needed the product is capable of being expanded to offer virtually unlimited inputs.
- Digital output for a Control Relay for rectifier off interruption operations and measurements.
All in various configurations to meet your environmental situational needs.
- Multi-Purpose, all-in-one radio modem: monitors rectifiers, pipe-to-soil test stations, pressure, and pipeline scrubbing operations.
- Multiple form factors to address environmental situational needs
- Multiple pipe to soils, multiple rectifier monitoring capabilities
