RAT-2 is the detector of leaks and faults in pre-insulated pipe network
Leak / Fault detection is done by measuring of 2 below parameters:
Rc - measurement of alarm loop continuity.
If Rc value exceeds the set limit of loop resistance it means loop’s break or misconnection of alarm
wires.
Riso - measurement of foam insulation resistance between metal pipe and alarm wire.
If the Riso value falls below the set insulation resistance limit it means
the appearance of moisture / leakage.
RAT-2 can support 2 or 4 alarm loops.

Normal operating condition –wires 1-2 shorted.
Alarm –wires 2-3 shorted.
Each new device is set according to the configuration below:
Warning thresholds (LED CH flashes yellow):
Riso - foam insulation resistance: 1 [MΩ]
Alarm loop resistance Rc: 50 [Ω]
Alarm thresholds (LED CH flashes red):
Riso foam insulation resistance: 500 [kΩ]
Alarm loop resistance Rc: 100 [Ω]
Frequency of measurements: 1 per day
To change the settings, use the RAT Manager 2 software, available at www.ratmon.com (see RAT
Manager 2 manual, settings).
If the device is equipped with a GSM module and is configured to work with the RATMON system, all
parameters can be also changed by remote from RATMON system. Settings of operating parameters
are read by remote from the system before each measurement and set to the next time interval.
