Installation Manual and Setup Guide
1 Introduction:
This manual includes instructions and specications pertaining to the following test station and bond
applications for Tracker devices using cellular or satellite communication:
Test Station Monitor Applications:
Simple “structure to reference cell” test points
Single, dual, or triple coupon test stations
Generate alarm notications from out of range readings
AC Monitor Applications:
Measure induced AC voltage on the structure
Measure AC current density at a calibrated coupon
Measure AC drain to ground from an electrical decoupling device (CT coil needed and not supplied
by Elecsys)
Generate alarm notications from out of range readings
Critical Bond Applications:
Measure bond current value and polarity
Measure structure to reference cell for both pipes
Generate alarm notications from out of range readings
The Tracker Monitor is designed to measure, monitor, and report the values typically measured at
CP test stations and critical bond sites. Monitored data is compared to programmable alarm limits
for exception alarm reporting, then transmitted to the Pipeline Watchdog Web Monitor database for
viewing and reporting.
The Pipeline Watchdog Web Monitor allows the user to: 1) set-up e-mail and text message alarms, 2)
set up regular emailed CP rectier and test station data reports, 3) obtain on-demand data reports, 4)
change alarm limit parameters, reporting frequency and monitoring frequency over the air, 5) obtain
any/all stored measurements from the unit memory over the air.
The Tracker is designed for simple installation and operation using the color-coded wire harness and
built-in mounting tabs. The device easily mounts on a riser pipe, post, or utility pole; and the wire
harness accommodates connections to all common test station terminal blocks and bond junction
boxes.
2 Tracker Standard Parts Reference Guide:
Prior to installation, familiarize yourself with the system parts and components included with the unit.
The Tracker includes the monitor unit, 2 mounting brackets, attachment hardware for the mounting
brackets, a connection cable to connect with the measurement points, and 2 ring clamps for mounting
to a 3” PVC riser. If the unit is equipped for satellite operation, it is supplied with the combined
connection/satellite terminal cable, as well as the terminal, terminal bracket, and attachment
hardware.
