User Guide RM4210 Wiring Guide This document is to help technicians plan and install an RM4210 remote monitoring unit based on the type of measurement that will be taken from a test station. Wiring instructions are included for each type of measurement, coupons, or other components that may be included in the set up. Refer to the following figure for an example of test station connections.

Figure 1-2. PCR- and PCR+ Connections Triton Test Station with a Triton Coupon If you are connecting the RM4210 to a Triton test station and Triton coupon, connect the RM4210 wiring harness phoenix connector to the RM4210. Then connect the harness wires to the test station where the matching colored wires from the coupon are connected to the test station.

to-soil, DC current density, and instant off and the second CP-protected (AC coupon) is used to measure AC current density. One CP-protected Coupon These instructions detail how to wire a single CP-protected coupon (with either one or two wires) to measure AC and/or DC pipe-to-soil, AC and/or DC current density, and instant off.

Figure 1-2. RM4210 Faceplate and Port Labels DC voltage measurement Connect your positive to the RM4210’s wiring harness black Native Cpn wire and the negative to the yellow Ref Cell wire. If you need a second DC voltage measurement, connect the positive to the blueTest Cpn2 wire and the negative to the yellow Ref Cell wire (along with the first DC negative) on the wiring harness.

Figure 1-3. RM4210 Wiring Harness IMPORTANT: If you are taking two DC measurements — use the Ref Cell connection on the RM4210 as a common ground for both (refer to DC Voltage, AC Voltage, or Shunt Measurements). If you need a third DC voltage measurement, connect the positive to the PCR+ and the negative to the PCR- connections on the RM4210’s green phoenix connector.
