MERLIN XT Specification
MERLIN XT is a compact, durable field unit that monitors the operation of a Transformer Rectifier. It is designed for remote areas where GSM coverage is inadequate and it can be integrated with GSM-based MERLIN units for a total network monitoring solution. Its key features are:
• Alarms and periodic reports sent to a central PC using satellite communications
• Fully independent monitoring channels (allow high-side or low-side shunt and accurate ON potential measurement)
• Automatic installation, test and set up (without laptop or cell phone)
• PC or Internet interface with graphical/tabular displays and data export.
Key specification parameters are as follows:
Physical Dimensions
Satellite Communications
Global satellite coverage ensures reliable communications anywhere in the world.
Diagnostic Mode
Diagnostic (hourly readings) mode for problem- solving for short periods.
GPS Synchronization
An on-board GPS module enables precise time synchronization of all MERLIN monitors on a pipeline. It also provides a link to mapping software for accurate positioning.
Electrical Supply Monitoring
Alarm generated if power supply fails – so that protection can quickly be restored to the pipeline (MERLIN backup batteries last for 2 years).
User Alerts
User-settable high and low alarm thresholds for all measurement channels.
Custom Reports and Complete Historical Data
Data automatically archived and presented in custom report formats or exported to other standard applications.
Daily or Weekly Reports
Custom reporting periods allow daily or weekly reporting.
Health and Safety
No risk assessments or lone worker issues at hazardous sites. Protects technicians from exposure to voltages and currents.
Battery backup
2 year operation in the event of a power failure.
Weight
3.9Kg (8.5lb)
Operational Temperatures
-35°C to +70°C (-31°F to +158°F). 100% condensing humidity.
IP Rating
The MERLIN XT is IP65 rated. Offering protection against falling dirt, rain, sleet, snow, windblown dust, splashing and hose-directed water.
Lightning Protection
Surge protection on all external inputs and outputs. 2,500A at 3,000V (8/20us). Additional protection using recommended surge arrestors.
Relay
Control output to drive (optional) external relay for OFF potential measurement, interruption or to switch off the CP output.
