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.
The Bullhorn system provides remote monitoring with full coverage using GSM cellular network, GEOS satellite
(SkyWave-Inmarsat), or LEOS satellite (ORBCOMM) communication networks.
Unit Overview
The RM4210 and RM4211 remote monitoring units (RMU) monitor oil and gas assets in cathodic protection (CP)
applications. The units utilize various satellite/GSM communication networks for communication with Bullhorn
Web, the web-based asset manager where measurements can be monitored and used to optimize AC mitigation
systems. Reports and extracts are also available through the Bullhorn Web account to view the data from your
units.
The RM4210 inputs can be measured and configured locally using either the Bullhorn® Tools software on a
laptop or with the mobile application on a smartphone or tablet running either iOS or Android. The RM4211 can
be configured only with the mobile app. The Bullhorn Tools software is available for download from the Bullhorn
Web Help website, and the mobile app is available through the Apple® App Store or Google PlayTM.

RM4200 Series User Guide
Getting Started 4
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: Please contact Technical Support for information about purchasing a replacement
battery (American Innovations part number 517206-000).
Wiring Requirements: For optimum protection from transient voltages, 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.

Installation Requirements
The RM4210 and RM4211 remote monitoring units (RMUs) are designed to be installed on top of a test station
using an adapter. The dimensions of the unit and test station adapter are shown below.
Figure 2-4. RMU Enclosure and Adapter Dimensions
NOTE:The test station adapter is designed to fit on test stations with a 3” diameter.
The list below identifies conditions to consider before installing the unit.
•The area around the installation site should provide enough working space to easily access the unit to
wire inputs, configure the unit for service and take measurements, or perform routine maintenance.
•The RMU should be placed in an area that is clear of obstructions that may interfere with satellite
reception. The RMU connects to the satellite that is directly south of North America (the satellite’s
coverage is shown in light blue on the map). Satellite signal strength can be verified before completing
installation (refer to Installing the RM4211, page 18).
