Description
American Innovations’ i-series
MicroMax® GPS200 Interrupter is a proven, cost effective,
portable GPS satellite synchronized interrupter that is fully
programmable in continuous, daily, dated and interference modes. The
GPS200 is compatible with all other brands of GPS synchronized
interrupters or loggers. Users can define and store nine different
programs for later recall. Cycle range is up to 999.9 seconds in 0.1
second increments. The unit automatically resumes its programmed
cycle if a power disruption occurs. After hours, the unit can be set
to automatically generate full CP polarization.
The GPS200 supplies 500 mA to drive
an external relay or multiple relays. The external relay
configuration and the user configurable nature of the relay
controller output allows for use of the standard relay supplied with
the interrupter or a custom relay. Standard relays are 30A Hg, 60A
Hg, 100A Hg., 90A / 240 VAC solid state, and 100A / 100 VDC solid
state. Interrupter output is user selectable and highly flexible.
The output can be configured to 0V or 12V for ON or OFF.
Synchronization can be set to be on the leading or falling edge of
the interruption cycle. An on-board keypad and a display enable easy
field programming.
The GPS200 comes in a weatherproof,
extremely rugged, portable enclosure. It is powered from 100 to 280
Volts AC or 8 to 30 Volts DC. The MicroMax GPS200 is supplied
complete with AC cable, DC cable, output cable and GPS antenna, all
packaged in a canvas tool carry bag for easy handling.

Operation
Measures interference
from multiple pipelines and multiple rectifiers,
and/or measures influence from multiple rectifiers
on one pipeline.
American Innovation's
unique, patented Interference Mode
interruption cycle enables interference testing with
greatly increased productivity and ease of data
interpretation. By operating in Interference Mode,
it is possible to determine the influence from
multiple rectifiers and capture the instant
off pipe-to-soil potentials, all during a single
visit to a test station!! In this mode, up to 99
GPS200 interrupters can be configured to switch
multiple rectifiers so that IR-free pipe-to-soil
potentials as well as the influence from each
rectifier under investigation can be easily
collected.
The same Interference
Mode algorithm can be used on a single pipeline,
using the methodology outlined above, to enable you
to complete an “Influence Survey”. This methodology
facilitates an accurate evaluation of each
rectifier’s influence over the span of the pipeline.
