The RM4210 and RM4211 are designed primarily for cathodic protection applications and support two-way communication with Bullhorn Web using the GEOS satellite network.

  • Page 87: Rm4211 Inputs

    NOTE: The battery is the only field-serviceable item in the RM4210. After the unit is connected to the test station head, the RM4210 can be configured with Bullhorn Tools configuration software or with the Bullhorn Tools mobile application. Bullhorn Toolscan display measurements, set alarms, or send a test message.

  • Page 221: Appendix D: Mercury Relay Advisory

    Appendix D: Mercury Relay Advisory The information in this section is intended to notify American Innovations (AI) customers of the manufacturer's published limitations on mercury relays. Customers primarily purchase mercury relays for use with current interrupters. Current interrupters provide great programming flexibility to enable customers to use a wide variety of interruption cycles.
  • Page 222 RM4000 Series  2. If fast cycle operation is common, AI recommends a solid state relay for maximum life and reliability. Although most interrupters are capable of being programmed for faster interruption cycles, AI recommends that customers not exceed 900 cycles per hour (or a cycle time of less than four seconds) and will not warranty devices that are utilized in this manner.
