The diagrams in the following pages illustrate typical installations for each measurement type.
  • Page 30 The INT1 is similarly designed to be wired to monitor bonds or anode beds. It has an internal 20mOhm current shunt which makes for easy installation. The RMU1 used in conjunction with it should not be used to monitor the same bond as the INT1, but can be used to monitor coupons, test points, another bond or be disabled.
