1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ID5000P (Passive) pig signaller is a fully ATEX certified, non-intrusive, pig signaller which
detects, signals, and logs the passage of pigs at critical points along a pipeline both on land
and offshore.
The unit uses Passive (listening) techniques to detect pig passage events. Events are signalled
as they occur via a 2.7” graphical display and high brightness LEDs positioned around the
perimeter of the display. Events can also be signalled remotely using several optional outputs.
The unit logs the time and date of up to 100 events which can be viewed at any point using
the local display. The user can turn the unit ON and OFF as well as modify several settings
using a single control button and intuitive menu system.
The unit has two basic parts as shown below. The transducer is permanently connected to the
main housing via a cable. The transducer is screwed into a mounting block which can be
quickly and easily attached to the pipeline using ratchet straps or steel banding. The main
housing contains all electronics, battery (if fitted), display and the control button. The main
housing is mounted onto the pipeline using a mounting block and straps in a similar fashion to
the transducer.
