Bandit
The Bandit is a non-intrusive pig signaler which uses either permanent magnets or active transmitters mounted onto the pig to detect passage from 0.022 to 45.73 mph (0.01m/s to 20 m/s). With thousands of systems sold around the world over the past 15 years, the CD52 pig signaler has developed a strong reputation in the industry for its reliability and durability in even the harshest environments.
A relay closure on passage allows the Bandit to be interfaced to a wide variety of systems including SCADA, PLC's, lights, horns, etc.
Features include:
- Completely non-intrusive to the pipeline
- Designed for direct burial permanent installation with many standard stalk heights and types including armored flex cable
- Designed for temporary use onshore & offshore with carring case
- Every unit is housed in a certified explosion-proff enclosure
- Bi-directional pig detection
- Detection of both transmitter and permanent magnet equipped pipeline pigs
- Automatic retention of the 10 most recent pig passage times and dates
- Powered for one full year with two D-Cell alkaline batteries or permanently powered with 24VDC
- Easily bands to pipelines from 2" to 60"
- Works to wall thicknesses of 1.5 inches
The Bandit allows simple and reliable non-intrusive detection of pig passages anywhere within your pipeline system. Simply strap the Bandit onto a pipeline and it immediately begins scanning for both transmitter and permanent magnet equipped pig passages. Using LineStat satellite notification network the Bandit pig signaler can notify operators of pig passages to their email inbox or smart phone any time day or night.
When pig passages occur their times and dates are displayed to the operator, along with a flashing "Recent Passage" message. If multiple pig passages have occurred, one can simply scroll back through the Bandit's passage memory and retrieve the time and date of any one of the last 10 passages.
When pig passages occur, in addition to visual indications, the Bandit initiates a dry contact relay closure (which may be wired normally open or normally closed) for 15 seconds. This relay can support an electrical connection of 120VAC to 1A or 30VDC to 3A.
The Bandit's standard enclosure is a fully explosion-proof certified aluminium housing with a tempered glass window.
There is a family of small permanent magnets that are designed specifically for use with the Bandit. These magnets are durable epoxy encapsulated cylinders with outer jackets and mounting studs; when mounted to or placed inside virtually any type of pipeline pig it can then be tracked by the Bandit throughout a pipeline network. Since these magnets do not require batteries or have any active components, their usable life is outstanding.
Although several options are available for the CD52 Bandit that allow customization, there are often special uses that require something new. If you have a special requirement for this equipment give CDI a call; special orders are commonplace for this equipment.
