1991. The RMU1 is a low cost, high reliability device intended to monitor coupons and bonds. The device is available in two satellite (RMU1-S and RMU1-I) and one cellular (RMU1-G) communication configurations. The field hardware consists of a single component that is usually mounted inside a plastic test station.

If the GPS receiver is enabled in the configuration (for the RMU1-S, the GPS is always enabled at power-up), the RMU1 will display the ‘GPS’ icon on the LCD display and also show a number in the format of ‘X.YY’ where X is the number of satellites being received and YY is the average signal strength of those satellites.
With specialized cover locking systems or for other special test station installations, it may also be possible to cut off part of the test station terminal board to make room for the RMU1; in that case the spacer ring would not be needed.

5.2 Measurement Type Wiring The RMU1 can be wired in several different pre-defined configurations for single coupon, dual coupon, separate AC and DC coupons, and bond monitoring. The diagrams in the following pages illustrate typical installations for each measurement type. Each measurement type diagram contains a table indicating the six measurement points (Slots) that are transmitted to the corView server.
Figure 9 Single Coupon with AC Mitigation Wiring Diagram (CP35) With this type of installation, a scaling factor must be entered for the AC mitigation slot in the RMU1 configuration. The scaling factor is dependent on the transformer and the burden/divider resistors. For Mobiltex supplied transformer kits, the required slot scale factor is printed on the transformer assembly.

Wire the appropriate measurement signals from the coupon or bond to the terminal block on the RMU1. The green terminal block is pluggable; it may be easier to remove it from the RMU1 while wiring. Strip ¼”(6mm) of insulation off the end of each measurement wire before inserting the wire into the terminal block. Use a small Philips- style or flat blade screwdriver to tighten the connector clamps to the measurement wiring.
5.3 Wiring With Flex PCB Equipped Test Station As an optional accessory, a standard test station equipped with a flex PCB that connects the RMU1 6-pin connector directly to the test station bolts is available. All measurement sources are then connected directly to the test station bolts.
Internally, the flex PCB connects the RMU1 to the test station bolts as shown here: Figure 16 Test Station Flex PCB Connections The following figures illustrate the necessary connections for each RMU1 measurement type. Figure 17 Single Coupon Flex Connections MOBILTEX®...
Figure 20 Bond Flex Connections External links between bolts 6-9 and 5-8 are needed. An external shunt resistor between bolts 5 and 6 is also needed. MOBILTEX® DATA LTD. TITLE: RMU1 Installation and Configuration Guide Calgary, Alberta DOCUMENT NO.: SHEET: REV: www.corTalk.com...
3VDC will change the input to the active state. The digital input state may replace the transmission value for any data slot or the cap detector state by setting the appropriate options in the RMU1 configuration. The isolated input may be used to monitor a dry set of contacts by wiring the contacts in series with an external power supply.
Place a magnet at the point labelled “TEST” on the RMU1 for between 1s and 5s to initiate an immediate measurement cycle and “Button Press” exception transmission to the corView web host. Note that a maximum of 6 “Test”...
Coupon relay is open. Pipe terminal is disconnected from coupon terminal. Communications antenna is enabled. For the cellular or Iridium satellite version of the RMU1, an ‘X’ is shown through the antenna symbol if there is no coverage available. Communications antenna is transmitting.
5.9.1 Test Station Shield for RMU1 – A20100RMU11 This section details the corTalk® test station shield for use with the RMU1 remote monitor. The shield provides electrical isolation intended to prevent users from contacting the exposed termination screws of a test station. Kit part number A20100RMU11 consists of a custom molded shield with integral mounting screw.
Drill a 3/16” (4.5mm) hole in each location that banana jack test point access is required. The drilled shield is then installed on the test station securing the RMU1 using the Philips head screw. Internal View c/w Drilled Holes External View c/w Drilled Holes MOBILTEX®...

RMU1ADP (Kit A20A0333101) The RMU1 programming interface is shown in Figure 28. It has one cable exiting, a USB cable that attaches to a PC. The interface is powered from the PC USB port, so an external power supply in not required. USB cable color may be either white (A15000RMU1P) or black (A20A0332701).
As an alternative method, the drivers may be installed using the Windows “Found New Hardware Wizard” by plugging the RMU1 programming interface into the PC first. If the “Found New Hardware Wizard” does not appear, it is possible that drivers for the programming interface are already installed. Complete the following steps: MOBILTEX®...

6.3.1.4 Read Config From RMU1 This is used to get the current values configured in the RMU1. Note, if you have changed the values in any of the configuration groups, the changes will be over written by pressing this button.
6.3.1.6 Defaults The RMU1 contains factory defaults that can be loaded using this button. This allows for easy return of a unit to a known state. “Write Config to RMU1” must be pressed to write the parameters to the active configuration in the RMU1.
Cap Detect Calibration The RMU1 is equipped with a non-contact sensor (see Figure 43) that can detect when a test station cap is installed over the RMU1. This sensor may require calibration to operate correctly. In the event that a cap is not detected properly, click the ‘Cap Detect Calibration’...
6.3.1.12 Clear Datalogger Mem The ‘Clear Datalogger Mem’ button allows the RMU1 datalogger memory to be reset back to a blank state. This function requires the factory-enabled datalogger option be present on the RMU1. After clicking the button, a confirmation prompt will appear. If confirmation is given, then a progress display will be shown as the RMU1 memory is erased.
The ‘Initial Delay’ parameter sets how long, in days that the RMU1 will wait after a power-up before initiating the first depolarization cycle. When set to a value of 0, the RMU1 will wait one wakeup cycle (6 hours) before disconnecting the coupon.
The ‘Disable Cap Detector’ option disables the cap infrared proximity sensor. This option is typically used to increase battery life on the RMU1. When cap detector is disabled, the LCD display will not turn on if the test station cap is removed.
The mobile device must have the RMU1Config mobile app loaded from either the Apple App store or the Google Play store, as applicable. Simply search for ‘RMU1’ on each site to locate the download. Alternatively, use the following direct links: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rmu1-config/id1232422915...
‘PGM POWER’ LED on the RMU1PGM-BT or ‘PWR’ LED on the RMU1/2/3 Programming Interface should light green when power is being delivered to the device. Place the RMU1PGM-BT on the RMU1 as shown in the Figure 47. The RMU1/2/3 Programming Interface with RMU1ADP cable attaches in a similar fashion.
Figure 48 iOS App Sample Screenshots Upon completion of configuration, disconnect the RMU1PGM-BT cable or RMU1/2/3 Programming Interface from the battery pack to conserve charge in the pack. MOBILTEX® DATA LTD. TITLE: RMU1 Installation and Configuration Guide Calgary, Alberta DOCUMENT NO.:...
8 Battery Replacement Remove the RMU1 from its mounting location. Unscrew and remove the top plastic circular lid from the RMU1. Remove the three screws that secure the transmitter board assembly to the unit as indicated in the pictures below. Set aside the three screws and transmitter board for re-assembly after the batteries have been changed.
Re-attach the transmitter board. Make sure that the main PCB alignment tabs engage the matching slots in the antenna board. Then, re-install the previously removed three screws. Do not over-tighten the screws. Re-install the plastic circular lid. Re-install the RMU1 as instructed in section 5.1. No other maintenance or cleaning is required. MOBILTEX® DATA LTD.
