The information in Table 1-1 provides a description of the safety and equipment symbols present on the
outside and inside of the enclosure. Safety symbols alert you to safety hazards or conditions that have the
potential to cause personal injury, death, or equipment damage. Equipment symbols may indicate a
functional state (such as on and off) and connections (such as a Earth ground terminal).
ESD Precautions
WARNING:To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage when handling electronic equipment, always
wear an anti-static wrist strap attached to an unpainted, grounded metal object. Ensure the wrist strap has
maximum contact with bare skin.
If an anti-static wrist strap is unavailable, discharge static electricity from yourself and your clothing by
touching a grounded metal object before handling electronic equipment.

Bullhorn System Overview
Bullhorn is a wireless telemetry system that provides scheduled and by-exception inbound reporting for
field equipment typically located in remote areas. Data and alarm packets transmit from remote field
locations to your account on the secure Bullhorn Web (
https://www.bullhornsys.com ) using digital cellular
or satellite communication networks. You can quickly determine the status of field equipment anytime
using information that posts to your website account.
Bullhorn provides remote monitoring with full coverage using GSM cellular network, GEOS satellite
(SkyWave-Inmarsat), or LEOS satellite (ORBCOMM) communication networks.
RM4100 Series Overview
RM4100 Series units, including the RM4150 and RM4151, monitor oil and gas assets in cathodic protection
(CP) applications using various communication networks for communication with Bullhorn Web.
NOTE:To view a satellite coverage map, log on to Bullhorn Web at https://www.bullhornsys.com , click
Help, and then Coverage Maps in the navigation menu.
RM4100 Series units provide built-in surge protection, rectifier interface, and test point filtering
functionality. The RM4150 and RM4151 measure the output of rectifier current across shunt resistors.
Additionally, the RM4150 and RM4151 support GPS synchronized current interruption.
The RM4150 supports two (2) configurable digital and five (5) configurable analog inputs with the
following specifications:
•Input ANALOG CH 1 through ANALOG CH 5 (channels 1 through 5) are isolated inputs that support
analog ±150 V DC, 150 V AC, 4 - 20 mA with external resistor, or active digital input devices.
•Input DIGITAL CH 1 and DIGITAL CH 2 non-isolated inputs (0-24 V DC) that support digital dry
contact closure input devices. DIGITAL CH 1 can also be used as a pulse count accumulator, and
DIGITAL CH 2 can be used as an accumulator reset.
The RM4151 supports two (2) configurable digital and two (2) configurable analog inputs with the
following specifications:
•Input ANALOG CH 1 and ANALOG CH 2 (channels 1 and 2) are isolated inputs that support analog
±150 V DC, 150 V AC, 4 - 20 mA with external resistor, or active digital input devices.
•Input DIGITAL CH 1 and DIGITAL CH 2 non-isolated inputs (0-24 V DC) that support digital dry
contact closure input devices. DIGITAL CH 1 can also be used as a pulse count accumulator, and
DIGITAL CH 2 can be used as an accumulator reset.

Installation Requirements
Before you install the RM4150 or RM4151 unit, use the following information as a checklist to ensure a
successful installation:
WARNING:Only accessories that meet American Innovations’ specifications may be used with the RM4150
or RM4151.
Power Disconnect and Branch Circuit Protection: A customer-supplied, power disconnect device is
required for the unit installation. The power disconnect device (such as a switch, main circuit
breaker, or other type of power disconnect) should provide an easy and accessible means for
removing the main input supply power source from the unit. Multiple-pole circuit breakers shall
interrupt all neutral and ungrounded connectors of mains supply simultaneously. The power
disconnect device must be clearly marked to identify it as the disconnect device for the unit. The
power disconnect or separate overcurrent protection device should also provide overcurrent
protection in the form of a 20 amp fuse or circuit breaker suitable for branch circuit protection per
local codes and requirements.
Backup Battery: The units should only be used with a 12 V DC, 0.8 AH capacity, re-chargeable
sealed lead acid battery. If you need to replace the battery, please contact Technical Support for
information about purchasing a replacement battery (American Innovations part number 370109-
000; manufacturer’s part number PS-1208).
NOTE:Refer to Appendix B, Battery Replacement on page 58 for instructions on changing the backup
battery.
Wiring Requirements: For optimum protection from transient voltages (typically, Channels 1 and 2),
all analog inputs must be in their own multi-conductor jacket cable (such as cable AI part number
211061-000 - Belden 5308UE, or its equivalent). All cables must have intact outer jackets, except for
end cuts. Do not remove cable jackets as they protect the unit input cable from transient voltages.
Cable insulation should be suited for voltage range of inputs. Cables should be rated at a minimum
of 600 V and 105˚ C.
Input Channel Voltage Levels: All input channels are marked with acceptable input voltage ranges.
Ensure that devices connected to the RM4100 units fall within the voltages ranges listed next to the
channel input connections.
Cellular Radio Transmitter: The RM4150 and RM4151 contain a cellular radio transmitter, and usage
may be dangerous in environments such as:
–Where it can interfere with other electronic devices in environments such as hospitals, airports,
aircraft, etc.
–Where there is risk of explosion such as gasoline stations, oil refineries, etc.

RM4100 Series User Guide

–The antenna has to be installed with care in order to avoid any interference with other
electronic devices and has to be guaranteed a minimum distance from the body (20 cm). In
the event that this requirement cannot be satisfied, the system integrator has to assess the
final product against the SAR regulation.
–It is the responsibility of the user to enforce the country regulation and the specific
environment regulation.
Earth (ground) terminal: Indicates a protective earth ground connection is required. The RM4100
Series units require grounding.
•Antenna Installation: The dual GSM/GPS antenna should be placed outside the rectifier.
•Mounting the Enclosure: Place the RM4150 or RM4151 inside the rectifier, either by placing it on
the floor of the rectifier case or by attaching magnets to the unit and securing to an available area.
Choose an area that provides enough room to easily access the unit or to perform routine
maintenance after completing the installation. Use the information in Figure 1-1 when deciding
where to install the unit.
WARNING:Equipment intended to be mounted on a wall or ceiling shall withstand a force of four times
(4x) the weight of the equipment.

GPS-synchronized current interruption.
The RM4150 supports two (2) configurable digital and five (5) configurable analog inputs with the
following specifications:
•Input ANALOG CH 1 through ANALOG CH 5 (channels 1 through 5) are isolated inputs that support
analog ±150 V DC, 150 V AC, 4 - 20 mA with external resistor, or active digital input devices.
•Input DIGITAL CH 1 and DIGITAL CH 2 are non-isolated inputs (0 - 24 V DC) that support digital dry
contact closure and active digital input devices. DIGITAL CH 1 can also be used as a pulse count
accumulator, and DIGITAL CH 2 can be used as an accumulator reset.
