Watchdog VIP-XT Remote Rectifier Monitory by Elecsys

Remote Monitoring for Extreme Environments. No Interruption Capabilities.

Description

The Elecsys VIP-XT is the answer to the corrosion professional’s need for a simple, reliable and low-cost CP transformer/rectifier remote monitor.

The unit comes from the factory configured to measure transformer/ rectifier output volts, amps, pipe-to-soil potential, and AC mains detection. The unit is highly flexible, with four configurable analog inputs, one digital input, and the AC detection probe, allowing it to handle a wide variety of remote monitoring needs for pipelines, plants and refineries, oil and gas well sites, and distribution utilities.

Using field-proven lightning surge-resistant circuitry, the VIPxt system is the best choice for cost-effective transformer/rectifier monitoring on oil, gas and water pipelines, offshore platforms, well casings and piers.
Applications
- Measure and report transformer/rectifier volts and amps in harsh desert and offshore conditions
- Additional inputs for:
  - Pipe-to-soil potential
  - Multiple negative shunts
  - Intrusions alarm
  - Rectifier mains power failure
Features
- Automatic transformer/rectifier and CP test point readings
- Alarm and return-to-normal notifications via e-mail and SMS
- Lightning surge-resistant circuitry
- Inputs- 4 analog, 1 digital and 1 AC mains digital input
- Multiple communication options
- Modbus enabled, integrates with SCADA network
- Simple user interference via internet or customer server
- Local LCD display for on-site information
- AC mains on/off detection
