Use this checklist before you install a Bullhorn RM5 Series unit. It covers where each part goes and what the site needs.
Applies to: Bullhorn RM510C, RM510S, RM520 and RM540.
RM510C and RM510S (rectifier units)
- Make sure the installation area gives you enough room to reach the unit's parts easily.
- Dome: mount it outside the rectifier cabinet, in a clear, unobstructed area. A flat, horizontal surface works best. Mount it on top of the rectifier cabinet away from the drip edge, or use the included bracket to mount it out of reach of cattle and other animals.
- RM5 I/O 4 module: mount it inside the rectifier cabinet or an optional enclosure. Attach it and its pre-wired terminal blocks to any ferrous metal surface with the magnetic mounts, or use the included screws. Leave enough working space for routine maintenance.
- RM5 power supply: mount it inside the rectifier cabinet or an optional enclosure. Use only an RM5 power supply with RM5 Series units.
Warning: do not connect an RM5 power supply directly to the AC power mains. Turn off power to the rectifier before you begin any wiring. Follow the safety procedures set by your company and the rectifier manufacturer.
RM520 and RM540 (test station units)
- Make sure the installation area gives you easy access to the unit's parts.
- The location must have a clear line of sight to the sky.
- Confirm the unit will be installed on a test station that has a 3 inch riser post and a test head with one or two reference cells attached.
- The test station must be connected to the pipeline structure, with the structure connections terminated at the test head's connection panel.
- Install the Bullhorn FieldPro app on a compatible phone or tablet. See the article "Bullhorn FieldPro: Install the App and Sign In".
Typical RM510C and RM510S install order
- Turn off power to the rectifier.
- Decide where each part will go. Make sure objects or terrain do not block communication.
- Install the RM5 power supply inside the rectifier cabinet.
- If the unit will interrupt rectifier current, install a relay.
- Install the RM5 I/O 4 module and its pre-wired terminal blocks.
- Install the dome and connect it to the RM5 I/O 4 module with the M8 cable. Hand tighten only.
- Configure the unit for service.
