    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
