5.2.1.7 Interrupter Properties

The "Interrupter" properties page allows configuring the operation of the rectifier interrupter relay. This function is
normally used when pipeline surveys are performed. When the RMU5 is equipped with a GPS-based timing control
board, the output can be very precisely synchronized to other equipment that is located remotely. Without the GPS
timing control board, the RMU5 can still interrupt the rectifier, but the timing accuracy and precision will be far more
lax. Without the GPS timing control board, synchronization to remote devices will not be possible.
Figure 39 RMU5 Configuration – Rectifier Interrupter Properties
The "Interrupter" properties page contains the following fields:
1. Notes. This is a free form text field where the user can enter any pertinent information about the configuration in
the page. This field is purely informational and has no effect on the operation of the RMU5.
2. Cycle Time. This is the number of milliseconds in an interruption cycle (off time + on time). The maximum cycle
time is 60000ms.
3. Off Time. This is the number of milliseconds that the rectifier will be off during the interruption cycle. This field
has a maximum of the lesser of 60000ms or the cycle time.
4. Duration. This is the number of minutes that the interruption cycles will occur for. The rectifier will revert to an
on state after interruption duration has expired.
UTC Offset. This parameter is used to synchronize the RMU5 to other manufacturers' equipment. A value of 2000
5.
causes exact alignment of the cycle start to the UTC time mark. This parameter may be set between 0 and 5000ms.
Use of this parameter only applies to units equipped with the GPS timing control module board.
